About
Lomi Lomi training at Oakland Massage School and Diamond Light taught me something I've carried into every session: the client is the mountain or volcano, and I'm the water—slowly, steadily working to soothe what's held tight. That philosophy shapes how I work with people in my Novato studio today, after more than a decade of practice.
I offer a blend of Lomi Lomi and Swedish massage, which means long flowing strokes, compression work, and light stretching all woven together. It's both deeply therapeutic and genuinely relaxing. I start most sessions with a Kraftgun massager to loosen your body for about ten minutes—though if that's not your preference, just let me know and we'll skip it.
My massage room sits upstairs with panoramic windows overlooking the countryside and Mt. Burdell. I keep it warm, use a comfortable table, and warm high-quality organic virgin coconut oil. Tranquil music plays throughout, and you'll leave with a warm towel compress. I welcome all people, especially those in my LGBTQIA+ community. Novato and the surrounding areas are where I work, both in-studio and through mobile outcall service with a travel fee based on distance. I'm here to help you recharge and reconnect with your body in a space where you can truly let go.

Testimonials
I'd been searching for a good masseur in Marin County for months before I found Andrew. My experience from the moment I walked into his spacious and welcoming studio right through the end of my 120-minute session was exceptional. His location is super accessible from US 101. The massage was deeply relaxing. Andrew pays close attention to how your body responds so he can give you exactly the right pressure. He's personable with a great sense of humor. I can't wait for my next session.
Andrew stands out for several reasons. Each time we have a session, I heal from physical pain and tension, and my sleep improves afterward. He's deeply professional and attentive to what you need—from scheduling to getting the room temperature just right. He genuinely cares about the craft of massage, and I've seen his skill grow over time. I recommend him strongly to anyone dealing with muscle pain, back tension, or stress.
Andrew is a seasoned masseur with warmth and genuine support. He and I align on social issues. His pressure ranges from intense to slow and gentle. As a Pisces, my feet matter most, and Andrew knows exactly how to make them feel alive. He stretches my legs and hips, knowing exactly when to ease back before causing pain. He's gifted at loosening muscles. After his massage, I literally have a new body.
After moving from San Francisco, I was having trouble finding a good massage therapist out in Marin County until I found Andrew. Booking was easy and he texted back right away. His studio is clean and comfortable. Andrew focused on my problem areas while still working the rest of my body. He also helped me with breathing to get the most from his work. When I was done, I felt relaxed and slept really well that week. I've been back a second time and was not disappointed. I'm making time each month for a full 90-minute session with Andrew.
Andrew's massage was incredible. I'm a regular client and always impressed by how professional he is and how well he reads where tension sits in my body. I leave each appointment refreshed and reenergized. I'm so grateful to have found someone this skilled in the Bay Area.
Andrew delivers a first-class massage. The studio is spotless, quiet, and beautiful, with a shower and complimentary bottled water. The temperature is perfect. Easy to find and park. He's outgoing and welcoming. I got Swedish and Lomi Lomi together, and you can tell he knows his craft well. He was thorough and we worked on breathing. I could tell Andrew was well trained. I felt great after. Definitely worth the drive from SF to Marin.
Andrew made a real impression through both his bodywork and his thoughtful way of talking with you. He brings a very welcoming presence and checks in with you about comfort throughout the entire massage. He's great to chat with, and his warm personality is really the icing on the cake. I'll definitely be back. Thank you, Andrew.
Andrew gives great massages. The upstairs studio is very calm, quiet, and clean. It was my first massage in a long time, and the 50-minute session was an excellent value for how thorough and deep he went. The shoulder work was particularly helpful for releasing tension I've been holding. A car accident left me with residual shoulder and back stress, and an hour with Andrew really helped. The coconut oil and lavender blend he uses is very relaxing and not greasy. I'll be back for more.
I got a massage from Andrew recently. Not only was the bodywork excellent, but Andrew himself is personable and easy to be with. I felt completely at ease. I'm booking with him again for sure.
Andrew booked me the same day, which was greatly appreciated. The studio is warm, clean, and very private, perfect for unwinding. He eased tension in my lower back and forearms while working in lots of stretches. Looking forward to my next appointment.
Andrew fit me in for a same-day appointment. As a trans guy, I only feel comfortable getting massage from someone in the LGBTQ community. That resource is hard to find in Marin, so I'm really glad he's here. He's genuinely friendly and makes you feel welcome. His studio is clean, quiet, and comfortable. The massage itself was very relaxing and professional. I'm lucky to have found him.
Andrew creates a warm, welcoming space that radiates care and healing. After working with Andrew my body feels restored and replenished. I highly recommend scheduling a massage with him.
Andrew's massage studio is easy to find on San Marin in Novato. The space is clean, private, and very peaceful. The room is warm and cozy with beautiful views of the surrounding hills and relaxing music in the background. Andrew really understands the body and gives full attention, and he's easy and calming to talk to. Any anxiety melts away. I always leave my massage feeling well rested and restored.
Andrew gave me a very calming and healing massage. I carried stress in my lower back, glutes, and traps, and he used long flowing strokes mixed with compression and gentle stretching. When I left the table I felt like I was floating. Grateful for the wonderful bodywork and great conversation. Will definitely be back next month.
I see Andrew on a regular basis to work through the stress and tension from my demanding work and travel schedule. What I love about his style is that he adjusts pace and pressure as needed without me having to ask. He just knows what I need. I always sleep deeply after our appointments and wake up feeling great.
My first massage with Andrew was awesome, and I'm coming back for more. He responded quickly to my texts, so booking was simple. The studio is private, quiet, and warm. His technique combines the relaxing long strokes of Lomi Lomi with gentle stretching. Andrew has great energy and real enthusiasm for health. Beyond massage, he shared solid advice on things I could do for better overall well-being. I left feeling restored, relaxed, and refreshed. Booking with him again for sure.
Andrew's massage was absolutely fantastic. He really pays attention to what your body needs. His hands are strong, the space is wonderful, and everything feels warm and welcoming. Booking is easy and convenient, and Andrew gets back to you quickly with competitive pricing. I can't wait for my third session with Andrew.
Andrew was able to fit me in on the day and time I wanted right away. He's very skilled and has a massage style I really enjoy. This was my second time seeing him and definitely won't be my last. Very relaxing with plenty of stretches. I highly recommend him for bodywork.
We booked Andrew for a massage at our home. My spouse and I have hectic work schedules. He took care of everything with real professionalism. His hands and technique far exceeded what we expected. His passion for massage is clear. We're looking forward to the next appointment. Thank you, Andrew.
Andrew is fantastic. I'd never had a Lomi Lomi massage before, but after this one I want more. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease right away, then gets to work loosening your muscles and making them feel good. My lower back and tight hamstrings and glutes all benefited, and that relief has stayed with me. Glad I found him. Can't wait to go back.
Andrew gave me a massage that goes way beyond what words can describe. His intuition and empathy create something special from beginning to end. I remember him describing how I as the client was the rock and he as the masseur was the water slowly and steadily using his power to ease my aches and pains. What stood out most was how welcoming and comfortable the atmosphere felt, combined with his unique methods. These things make him different from every other masseur I've worked with. I saw Andrew on a Monday and a Friday that same week, and I can't wait to book with him again.
Andrew delivers a massage focused on relaxation and rejuvenation in a quiet, soothing room. He applies the right pressure, asks about your comfort level, and listens to what you need. He uses long flowing strokes that make it easy to sink into meditation during the massage and forget the outside world. I highly recommend him. I'll definitely be back.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently highlight Andrew's ability to read where tension lives in the body and respond with exactly the right pressure, whether that's deep compression or slow, gentle work.

His studio atmosphere—warm, private, quiet, with views of Mt. Burdell—and his genuine welcome of LGBTQIA+ clients set him apart in Marin County.
