About

Sixteen years of working with clients' bodies has taught me what pressure actually heals and what just hurts. I started in Los Angeles, kept studying, and now I'm pursuing my Doctorate in Physical Therapy while still doing what I love most—hands-on work in the studio and in people's homes across Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

I'm a Los Angeles native, and I learned early on that massage isn't one-size-fits-all. I blend trigger point therapy, Shiatsu, deep tissue, sports therapy, myofascial release, percussion impact, cupping, scar tissue mobilization, and assisted stretches—whatever your body needs that day. I'm also a Certified Personal Trainer through NASM, NCCPT, and PT Global, and I'm a Certified CPR Instructor through the American Heart Association, so I understand how movement and recovery work together.

What I'm really good at is finding that sweet spot between deep work and genuine relaxation. During our time together, I keep you in that state between dreaming and awake—aware enough to feel the healing, relaxed enough to let it happen. I work a lot with men recovering from stress and injuries, but I welcome all bodies and all experience levels.

I'm fully vaccinated for Monkeypox and Covid, and I practice good hygiene. I ask that you shower about an hour before your appointment. Same-day bookings are welcome if you give me at least three hours' notice—texting is fastest. Beyond massage, I also offer fitness training, personal coaching, yoga instruction, meditation coaching, nutrition consulting, and physical therapy guidance.

Outside the studio, I'm an active supporter of LGBTQ+IA communities. Music and nature inspire me as much as connecting with people and learning something new every day. I believe in loving yourself the way you love your pets, with real compassion.

I've had several massages from Vartan, and each one has been excellent. You can see he's a skilled professional from how he weaves different techniques throughout the session. My back pain is significant, and he was able to work out my knots and even showed me stretches to do on my own. He has a calm way about him that makes the whole experience relaxing. Thanks for everything.

When I texted Vartan about booking a 90-minute session, he got back to me right away. The massage itself was outstanding—he clearly knows his craft and went straight to my problem areas with just the right pressure. He's personable and you can feel that he genuinely cares about his clients. I'll definitely book again.
