About
Deep tissue, Rolfing, Swedish, Thai, and acupressure work best when a therapist has spent years learning how pressure and touch actually reshape muscle tissue. After 13 years working with clients across Los Angeles and the surrounding area, I've learned that strong hands alone don't make a good massage. You need to listen to what your body is telling you—where the real tension lives, what technique will actually release it, and how much pressure feels safe.
I'm a professional masseur based in West Hollywood, and I work with a wide range of clients, including the LGBT community. My studio is in my private apartment, kept clean and comfortable with candles, relaxing music, and aromatherapy. I use high-quality unscented Biotone lotion, and I have a proper massage table—not a folding setup that shifts under you. From head to toe, I target your sore spots and pressure points, moving between techniques based on what your body needs in that moment.
If you can't come to me, I'll come to you. I offer mobile massage service throughout Los Angeles and up to 10 miles beyond, bringing my table and the same quality of work to your home. I'm fully COVID vaccinated and ask that all clients are too.
I also offer personal training and physical therapy work if you're interested in something beyond the massage itself. Before we start, take a moment to read what my clients have said. That feedback means everything to me.

Testimonials
Ethan's massage today was phenomenal. He worked every stressed muscle in my body with strong, skilled hands. I felt dramatically better when he finished. I'm from New York and will visit him again every time I'm back in town. Thank you.
Ethan provided a quality massage experience from start to finish. Booking with him was straightforward, and he graciously waited for me when I was running late. His space is welcoming, immaculate, and warm with beautiful natural light and peaceful music. His technique is excellent, and he constantly communicated what he was about to do. I left very happy with the whole visit. Ethan carries a natural presence that makes you feel at ease. I recommend trying him.
I've returned to Ethan many times over the years. His easygoing nature and genuine manner put me at ease the moment I walked in. His touch is exceptional—he has serious knowledge of human anatomy and provides a level of skill that few masseurs can match. You can tell he takes care of his own body and stays in peak condition, which translates to his powerful technique. By the end, you feel incredibly light and deeply relaxed. I keep coming back.
Finding a masseur strong enough for proper deep tissue work is always a challenge, but Ethan is my match. His deep tissue massage sent me flying and by the end my whole body was completely relaxed. He's kind, warm, and professional. I felt safe and he delivered exactly what I needed. I'll definitely hire him again when I'm in Los Angeles.
I received one of the best massages I've ever had from Ethan. His firm hands delivered perfect pressure across my entire body, from head to toe. He incorporated stretching and acupressure techniques I hadn't experienced before, and all my stress and tension simply melted away. He discovered sore spots I didn't even know I had. His studio is wonderfully calm and welcoming. A friend recommended him, and I was absolutely not let down. Ethan is worth calling for quality massage work.
This was my first time writing a review for any massage therapist, and Ethan's work moved me to do it. Everything about the experience was perfect. His neighborhood is great, the massage itself was the best I've ever received, he's engaging in conversation, and his physique shows real dedication. He understands anatomy on a deep level and taught me things about my own muscles I never knew. The entire session was the most relaxing experience I've had with a therapist. I felt completely safe with him. Ethan is simply the best masseur I've met, and my search is over.
Ethan is a strong massage therapist with extensive knowledge of different massage techniques and an outstanding deep tissue touch. His complete body massage worked out all my sore areas and addressed spots I didn't even realize were tight. His technique even included work under my scapulae, which most therapists skip. I highly recommend him.
Today's massage with Ethan was the very best massage experience of my entire life. As a bodybuilder with 30 years of massage experience, I've had thousands of sessions but only two truly extraordinary ones in all that time—one was in London a decade ago, and the other was today with Ethan. He knows how to use his exceptionally strong hands to dissolve knots and soften tight muscles. His healing energy flows throughout the entire session. I'll be returning regularly to his beautiful and pleasant studio.
Ethan is legit—I mean truly professional massage quality. I've had spa massages that don't come close to what he delivers. Before starting, he asked where I wanted him to focus and honored my input completely. He warmed up my muscles carefully before going deep and working out knots with skill. He knows anatomy and techniques inside and out, even reaching areas like under the scapulae that many therapists overlook. After the session, I felt like I hadn't even been torn up from the gym that morning and was ready to train hard the next day. I recommend Ethan without hesitation.
