About

Training at Advanced Beauty College in Garden Grove shaped how I approach massage today. That education gave me the foundation, but 10 years of hands-on work with clients has been my real teacher. I learned early on that every body tells a different story, and the pressure that feels perfect to one person might be too much or too little for another.

I'm Brian, a licensed massage therapist based in Montclair, California, and I've built my practice around making clients feel genuinely safe and cared for. I work with deep tissue, Swedish, hot stone, aromatherapy, and a few other techniques, but what my clients come back for most is my 3-in-1 combination — it hits the sweet spot for people carrying tension everywhere at once.

My studio in Montclair is set up the way I'd want to receive a massage myself. Soft lighting from candles, quality music playing quietly, the table heated and ready. I use high-quality oils that I warm before they touch your skin, hot stones, warm towels. There's a shower here if you need one after. Parking is easy, water is free, and everything stays spotless.

I also travel within a 10-mile radius to serve clients in surrounding areas, so if you'd rather have me come to you, that's an option too. I work every day from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., and I'm particularly proud of serving the LGBTQ+ community with a space where you can relax completely, knowing you're welcome and respected. Text me to book — I fill up fast, but I make time for my regular clients.

Testimonials

I'd never written a review before, but Brian's work deserved it. I tried booking with him several times only to find him fully booked, and now I get why he's always in demand. Since my first appointment, I've been coming back regularly and wouldn't see anyone else. The moment he greets you, his warmth puts you at ease. His studio in Montclair is immaculate and feels upscale—nothing sketchy about it at all. His technique is outstanding, the pressure feels exactly right, and I actually dozed off during the session. The hot stones, warm towels, and hot tea he offered afterward made it feel like a true spa experience. I love having a location so close to me, and the Montclair studio even has shower facilities. Once you're a regular with him, getting appointments becomes much easier. Brian, you've got me as a customer for as long as you're in business. Thanks for everything.

I've been seeing Brian for just over a year and he's a genuine professional with real talent. The studio is clean and organized from the moment you step in. His touch is intuitive—balanced and exact, matching what your body actually needs. He blends Swedish and deep tissue perfectly, creating a total spa-like experience with hot towels, hot stones, candles, and soothing music. There's even a shower if you want one. What stands out most is that Brian treats you as a friend, not just a client. The space is easy to access with plenty of safe parking. I keep coming back because he makes me feel taken care of, and I always leave relaxed and refreshed.

I booked an 80-minute session with Brian for my first massage and I'm so grateful I found him. He was calming from our first meeting, staying professional while remaining genuinely kind. I told him I needed work on my back and neck, and he really softened the stiffness and tingling I'd been experiencing. He used premium oils and heated stones that felt wonderful against my skin—he even warmed the oils before applying them. His hands moved across my back and neck with real skill, releasing tension I didn't even realize I was holding. I fell asleep a couple of times, which shows how relaxed he got me. The studio itself is spotless and has a serene feel that makes it easy to unwind. Thank you, Brian, for taking such good care of me that day and preparing me for a long stretch ahead.

Hemasseur's Take

Clients consistently praise Brian's intuitive technique, noting that his touch feels expertly balanced and that he seems to know exactly what each body needs. Multiple reviewers mention falling asleep during sessions and waking up with significant relief in areas like the neck, back, and shoulders, as well as a sense of deep overall relaxation.

Beyond his technical skill, clients highlight the studio environment—spotless, upscale, with thoughtful touches like heated oils, hot stones, warm towels, and candles—and Brian's warm, respectful demeanor that makes them feel genuinely welcome and cared for. The combination of his skills, clean professional space, and welcoming personality has built a loyal clientele that actively seeks him out despite his frequent fully-booked schedule.
