About
Studying at the National Holistic Institute in Los Angeles gave me a foundation in healing work that changed everything. I learned that massage is about more than hands on muscle — it's about transferring energy, listening to what the body needs, and meeting someone where they hurt.
I'm Troy, a Brazilian-Mexican massage therapist with 13 years of hands-on practice rebuilding people's bodies and relief their pain. Since then, I've added formal training in cupping therapy through the Centre of Excellence, and a specialist certificate from New Skills Academy. That education taught me technique, but my years in the field taught me intuition.
I work with deep tissue, sports massage, Thai, hot stone work, and energy-based healing. What I mean by healer is simple: I listen to where your body is holding stress, tension, or old injury. Then I customize the session — combining whatever techniques will actually help you. Deep pressure for the knots. Thai stretching to open you up. Warm stones to relax what's tight. Reiki and energy work if that's what you need. Cupping to release what won't let go.
I specialize in two areas right now. If you've got sciatica nerve pain, I know how to decompress that nerve and get you walking again. If your neck is locked up from stress or a desk job, I can release that tension and give you your mobility back.
My studio is in downtown Los Angeles (90017), and I'm mobile too — I come to you throughout Los Angeles and surrounding areas within a 150-mile radius. You get the same healing hands either way. The studio has a shower, free parking, heated table, hot towels, aromatherapy, and the quiet you need to actually relax. If I come to your home, I bring the same setup.
I see clients from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Same-day appointments happen. All genders welcome. I've worked with Hollywood clients, athletes, people recovering from accidents, dancers, and folks who just woke up one morning unable to move. What they all have in common: they felt heard, they felt the pressure was exactly right, and they left different than they came in.

Testimonials
Thank you so much. One of the best massages I've ever had. Obrigado.
Troy delivered the most amazing massage I've experienced. His combination of techniques is excellent, and the difference he made to me physically and mentally has been huge. I recommend him to everyone.
Troy is an amazing masseur and I get regular massage work done. His quality and skill level are exceptional, 10 out of 10. He's punctual, communicates well, and never watches the clock. He's engaging, friendly, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
One of the finest massages of my life. I felt rejuvenated and deeply calm afterward. Thank you, Troy. Looking forward to the next appointment.
Troy is talented and professional with a perfect technique for releasing body stress, knots, and back pain. His healing hands have such a special touch that I keep coming back every two weeks. His rates are very fair, and his work is better than any other massage therapist I've tried in the LA area. Skip the others and come to Troy.
After a serious accident, I needed someone who could find hidden knots and help me move again. Troy not only located the tight spots but stretched my legs exactly how I needed. I walked in feeling very tense and left feeling like a million bucks, like a new person. My sleep that night was fantastic and I felt ready to run a marathon. I highly recommend him.
Troy was very professional, polite, and clean. The whole experience was amazing. I'll absolutely get another massage and recommend you to friends.
Great professional massage. I really needed to decompress after a stressful work week and Troy was exactly what I needed.
I had a neck injury causing significant pain. Troy addressed it better than any physical therapist I've worked with. His cupping and massage made such a difference that I improved after every session. Without his help, I couldn't have lived a normal life or slept well. Troy is always cheerful and smiling. I'm so grateful. My pain is gone, but I'll keep seeing him.
Professional masseur with an excellent touch. Your bodywork made me feel brand new. Definitely booking you again when you return to the Costa Mesa area.
Troy listened carefully to my concerns and focused on the exact areas causing me the most trouble — neck, back, glutes, and legs. The pressure felt perfect, not too light or heavy. I left completely pain-free and stress-free. Thank you, Troy.
I was very stressed with back pain and Troy helped tremendously by stretching my upper back, lower back, and legs. See you in two weeks. Thank you.
It was a cold night and Troy's place was warm and welcoming. He greeted me with a smile like I was an old friend. He's skilled and really knows the human body. He's a healer, as his description says. He started with a dry towel rub and moved to pleasant-smelling oil. The whole experience was relaxing and perfect. Highly recommended.
Awesome massage, especially the warm stones treatment. I felt like a new person this morning. The stretching after was a nice bonus. I need to come back soon.
One of the best healing sports massages I've had. Troy is charming, professional, and charges very fair rates for the quality of work.
I booked Troy on short notice and he accommodated me the same day. He was very welcoming with everything ready when I arrived. The massage was fantastic and relaxing. I'd absolutely recommend Troy to anyone looking for quality massage.
Amazing service. My body felt brand new after the treatment. Troy is kind, professional, and excellent. I'll be back in two weeks.
This was my third or fourth session with Troy. He's uniquely and incredibly gifted with a highly technical yet extremely intuitive technique. His energy is bright and warm, and his presence puts you at ease like you're at home. He's a guided healer with unmeasurable power — a gift you don't experience often. I'm still feeling the effects of such a complete experience. I also tried his facial treatment, which was top-notch. I'm booking him again.
Thank you for taking me on short notice. The massage was excellent. I'll be recommending you to friends. Stay healthy.
The massage was exactly what I needed. The studio is beautiful and spotless. I loved it. See you soon.
Forgot how talented you are. I don't think I've ever heard my body crack and pop that much. Awesome massage, Troy. Thanks for fitting me in. Can't wait for next time.
I woke one day with terrible lower back and sciatica nerve pain that made it impossible to walk straight. Troy came to my house with a big smile, and after a 90-minute full-body massage focusing on my lower back, my pain disappeared and I could walk normally again. His hands are magical.
Troy is kind and professional with strong yet soft hands and a healing touch. Even though I was late to my appointment, he had no problem seeing me. Your studio is immaculate and smells beautiful. The massage table was incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend Troy. Looking forward to our next visit.
I showed up a few minutes before the appt and was greeted at the door. The massage room was neat and clean. The massage was increadibly relaxing to the point I think in comfort, I dozed off. The knots in my shoulders disappeared under his touch..
Troy is the real deal. His massage work is the most relaxing, healing, and rejuvenating I've ever had. You can feel how much he cares about relieving people's pain and stress. He explained cupping in detail and showed real knowledge of the body. He should be part of everyone's wellness routine.
Thanks for the professional massage. I feel amazing.
I was visiting from France and found Troy through the directory. Best massage I've discovered, and the price is affordable. Highly recommend.
I woke up one morning unable to get out of bed — my lower back and entire left leg were in severe sciatica pain. Troy came to my house for a 2-hour session. When I left, the pain was gone and I could walk normally again. I can't thank him enough.
I contacted Troy last minute and he saw me the same day. He was welcoming and had everything set up when I arrived. The massage was fantastic and deeply relaxing. I would definitely recommend Troy to anyone seeking a good massage.
Troy was wonderful and very skilled with his hands. He hit all the areas of my body that were giving me trouble. So relaxing, and your space is clean. I left feeling like a new person. I highly recommend him to family and friends.
My session with Troy was like magic. I came looking for intuitive bodywork combined with Reiki to shift some stuck energy, and Troy's healing abilities gave me exactly what I needed. It turned out to be one of the most memorable spiritual experiences of my life.
Troy was wonderful. I found the massage very relaxing and enjoyed it a lot. I'd recommend him and will come back.
Troy is beautiful inside and out. His healing hands and strong massage treatment cured my depression. I feel like a brand new person. Thank you, Troy.
Simply one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I recommend his massages if you're ever in the downtown area. He has an awesome deep tissue technique. I'll be using him again soon.
I arrived a few minutes early and was greeted warmly at the door. The massage room was neat and clean. The massage was incredibly relaxing — I even dozed off in comfort. The knots in my shoulders just dissolved under his touch.
