About
Deep tissue and sports massage work best when the therapist listens with their hands. I've been doing this for over 14 years, and that time has taught me to read what your body is actually asking for—not what you think it needs.
I started my journey as a survivor. Cancer took a lot from me, but it also gave me something unexpected: proof that the body can heal itself when you work with intention and touch. I brought my own body back to life using the same techniques I now offer my clients in my Palm Springs studio. That experience changed everything about how I work.
My approach blends several disciplines. I'm trained in lomi lomi, shiatsu, and conscious breathwork, and I weave them into every Swedish or deep tissue session. What that means in practice: you're not just getting muscle work. You're getting someone who's trained to sense where your energy is blocked and help clear those pathways. I offer sports-style massage for athletes and active folks, but I also work with trigger point release, yoga instruction, and assisted stretching. Many clients come for massage and stay for private yoga—the two work together beautifully.
I offer energy healing as part of my massage work, or as a standalone session, or combined with yoga and bodywork. Some people call it spiritual healing. I call it what it is: your mind, body, and spirit all need attention, and they're not separate things.
I'm available in my studio here in Palm Springs, or I'll come to you—I serve Palm Springs and surrounding areas within a 10-mile radius. Either way, you'll have a fully accessible, quiet space with candles, tea, and the kind of atmosphere where real healing happens. I'm open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day.

Testimonials
I've been working with Austin for over a year now, both for massage and private yoga instruction. His massage work is outstanding—he delivers medium-to-deep pressure with real intuition, and he's masterful with stretching. What struck me most is his positive energy. He brings a rare combination of strength and gentleness to his sessions. After thirty years of getting massages, Austin ranks among the very best I've experienced. Beyond bodywork, his private yoga classes transformed my life in ways group classes never could. I came in intimidated by yoga, but his personalized teaching helped me manage anxiety and stress while improving my posture, core strength, flexibility, and balance. He draws on his own healing journey to guide you—and his wisdom shows. I started thinking I'd study with him briefly, then move to group classes, but I've stayed with him over a year, seeing him once or twice weekly when we're both in town. His yoga teaching is exceptional, and he's become a real friend. I've learned more from his classes than anywhere else.
Hemasseur's Take
Austin's long-term clients praise his intuitive touch and the depth of healing that comes from his personalized approach to both massage and yoga. One experienced client noted that after 30 years of massage, Austin stands among the best, and that his private yoga classes resolved anxiety, improved posture and core strength, and built confidence in ways group instruction could not.
Clients consistently mention Austin's positive energy, his blend of strength and gentleness, and the fact that his own recovery from cancer informs his genuine understanding of the body's capacity to heal.

FAQ
What's the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?
Swedish massage uses longer, flowing strokes and lighter to medium pressure to relax muscles and improve circulation. Deep tissue targets the deeper muscle layers and fascia with slower, more focused pressure—great for chronic tension or athletic recovery. I offer both, and I'll adjust the pressure during your session based on what your body needs that day.
Does Austin offer mobile massage in Palm Springs?
Yes, I come to your home or hotel anywhere in Palm Springs and within 10 miles of the area. Mobile sessions are $160 for 60 minutes or $220 for 90 minutes, and I bring my own table and music.
What is lomi lomi massage?
Lomi lomi is a Hawaiian massage style using forearms, elbows, and hands to work deeper into muscle and create a flowing, meditative experience. I trained in this technique and blend it with sports and deep tissue work depending on what you need.
Can I combine massage with yoga instruction?
Absolutely. I offer private yoga classes and assisted stretching, and many clients find that pairing a massage session with yoga work amplifies the healing. We can design a session that includes both bodywork and movement.
How much does a 90-minute massage cost in Palm Springs?
A 90-minute session is $200 in my studio or $220 if I come to you. I also offer discounts for prepaid packages and for military, students, law enforcement, dancers, massage therapists, and other groups—ask for details.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash, Venmo, and Zelle. Pay what works for you.
Is your Palm Springs studio accessible?
Yes, my studio is fully handicapped accessible. You'll also have access to a shower, spa/hot tub, private restroom, and complimentary tea and water.
What is energy healing, and how is it different from massage?
Energy healing clears blocked pathways in your body's subtle energy system and realigns you toward better health and peace of mind. I offer it as part of a massage session, standalone, or combined with yoga. It's less physical work and more intuitive sensing and clearing.
