About
Six years of working with clients across multiple cities have taught me one thing: the best massage happens when someone truly listens to what your body needs. I've spent that time learning how to read tension, understanding where stress lives in the shoulders and lower back, and knowing exactly how much pressure creates relief instead of more pain.
Right now I'm in San Diego for one week only, and I'm bringing that experience with me. I'm almost done with my academic and professional training through the massage therapy program at Community College of Philadelphia (604 classroom hours and 64 clinic hours), working toward my certification in Pennsylvania. But my hands have been doing this work for years, and clients keep coming back because they feel the difference.
I offer three main styles depending on what you need. Swedish massage is my go-to when you want to melt into the table and let everything soften. Deep tissue work gets to the root of chronic pain — breaking through that tension with strong, consistent pressure until you feel like a weight's been lifted. Sports massage bridges the two, supporting athletes and anyone pushing their body hard.
I'm also serving San Diego and surrounding areas with mobile massage, bringing the same studio experience to your home. Whether you book in-studio or I come to you, you'll find a space that feels welcoming and safe. I take real pride in creating an inclusive environment where every client walks in and knows they belong. If you identify as LGBTQ+, you'll find a therapist who celebrates that part of who you are. Beyond massage, I work with clients on fitness training, meditation coaching, and nutrition consulting — whatever helps you feel your best.

Testimonials
His photos don't capture how much presence he brings in person. From the moment I arrived, he greeted me warmly and made me feel at ease with genuine conversation. The massage itself hit the perfect pressure point I was looking for between medium and deep intensity. This is easily top three material for me, and I'm already hoping he returns to Boston.
Chad delivers massages that keep me coming back. I've booked multiple times now and he never disappoints. He responded immediately when I reached out and squeezed me in last minute. The whole experience was designed to relax you the second you walk in: candles, music, a table that feels like home. He's fully present, never distracted, and makes you feel like you're his only client. If you want someone who knows exactly what he's doing and shows up every time, book with him. You won't regret it.

FAQ
How much does deep tissue massage cost in San Diego?
Chad charges $180 for a 60-minute deep tissue session and $260 for 90 minutes. Both rates include access to his studio in San Diego, which offers hot towels, tea, and a private restroom to help you relax before and after.
Is there a mobile massage therapist near me in San Diego?

What's the difference between deep tissue and Swedish massage?
Swedish massage uses flowing, lighter pressure to relax and improve circulation, while deep tissue targets chronic tension with stronger, more sustained pressure to break through knots. Chad can blend both styles or focus on whichever approach fits what your body needs that day.

Chad keeps his schedule open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day and tries to accommodate last-minute bookings when he can. Your best bet is to reach out directly and ask about availability.
What massage is best for sports recovery?
