About
Eleven years working with clients' bodies—that's taught me something most therapists take much longer to figure out. You develop a feel for the work. Strong intuitive hands, I'd call it. I know where tension hides before you do, and I know exactly how to coax it out with the right pressure, the right stretch, the right moment of stillness.
I'm Clarence, a licensed certified massage therapist with a loft studio right here in Old Town Pasadena, California. When you come in, you'll notice the thoughtful touches—warm towels throughout your session, complimentary shower access before and after, bottled water, guest parking so you don't stress about logistics. These aren't extras; they're part of the massage itself. They tell your nervous system it's safe to let go.
I work with deep tissue, sports massage, Swedish technique, and aromatherapy. Every session is customizable. You tell me what your body needs, and I listen—not just with my ears, but with my hands. I have long-time clients who've been coming back for years because they trust that I'll show up the same way every time: attentive, skilled, genuinely interested in how you're feeling and what would serve you best.
I also serve the surrounding areas within a five-mile radius of Pasadena if you'd rather have the work done in your home. Either way, you're working with someone who's been doing this long enough to know that massage isn't magic—it's craft. And craft requires time, attention, and hands that remember what they've learned.

FAQ
How much does deep tissue massage cost in Pasadena?
Deep tissue massage at my Old Town Pasadena studio is $125 for 60 minutes or $140 for 90 minutes. Every session includes warm towels, water, and access to a shower before and after.
Do you offer mobile massage in Pasadena?
Yes, I provide mobile massage services within a five-mile radius of Pasadena. I bring my massage table, therapeutic music, and aromatherapy to your home, and I carry all the same care you'd receive in the studio.
What's the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?
Swedish massage uses longer, flowing strokes to relax the whole body and improve circulation. Deep tissue targets knots and chronic tension with slower, more concentrated pressure. I can blend both in one session depending on what your body needs.
Are you vaccinated?
Yes, I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and monkeypox, and I maintain a clean, safe studio environment in Old Town Pasadena.

Absolutely. Every massage is customized to your preference. Tell me where you're tight, sore, or stressed, and I'll adjust my technique, pressure, and focus to address exactly what you need.
