About
Training at the Nevada Health Institute in Reno from 2013 to 2014 gave me a foundation in massage therapy, but the real education came after — in twelve years of working with bodies that demand precision and care. I learned that sports massage isn't just for athletes, though they're my specialty. It's about understanding how the body holds tension, where it's guarding, and what kind of pressure actually releases rather than resists.
I've curated a technique that pulls from several approaches: Swedish for flow, sports massage for the deep structural work, trigger point release for those stubborn knots, and lomi-lomi for the kind of intuitive, full-body awareness that makes people say they felt like they were floating. What I love most is the moment when someone realizes that intense bodywork and the feeling of restoration aren't opposites — they're the same thing.
My studio in West Hollywood is open to everyone: straight, gay, and beyond. Athletes come in sore and leave mobile. Weightlifters discover flexibility they didn't know they were missing. People come back monthly not because they're injured anymore, but because they want to feel that way again — like themselves, only better.
I work in-studio here in Los Angeles and mobile throughout the area, serving West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding neighborhoods within a 25-mile radius. My hours are 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. And a heads-up: keep it professional. I'm here to do the work, and I do it seriously.

Testimonials
When Jake comes over for sessions, he blows my expectations out of the water. The way he shifts between gentler touch and harder, sometimes intense pressure is extraordinary. So instinctive. My range of motion and flexibility have improved dramatically because of his work. I'm a weightlifter who doesn't always prioritize stretching and recovery, and it's rare to find someone who is queer, chill, and incredibly knowledgeable at the same time. I tell everyone about him.
Jake visited San Francisco and I managed to book him for a two-hour session. The assisted stretching work he did left me feeling transported. He clearly knows what he's doing. This is massage therapy with intention behind it. He started out funny and conversational but as the work deepened, we both fell silent and I found myself in a completely different headspace. I came out of it feeling renewed and I'm counting the days until he comes back to visit.
After Jake's massages I feel like my whole body has been restored and recharged in a way I've never experienced before. It's like he helps you reconnect with your body on a deeper level, almost meditative, and the benefit runs both physical and mental. All the stress just seems to lift away.
Jake is the best massage therapist I've ever seen. He's calm, pays close attention, and actually listens to what your body is telling him. I started seeing him monthly for an old injury, and now I go just because it makes me feel amazing and like I'm taking care of myself. I've referred him to at least eight people and they all agree — he's the best. Plus he's charming.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently describe Jake's work as intuitive, intense, and deeply restorative — the kind of session that leaves you feeling completely different physically and mentally. Athletes and weightlifters report significant improvements in mobility and flexibility, while others highlight his ability to blend hard and soft pressure in a way that feels almost meditative. His calm, focused presence combined with his serious technical knowledge and approachable, down-to-earth personality stands out across every testimonial.
