About
Over two decades of working with clients across San Diego has taught me what really matters in massage therapy: showing up, listening, and delivering the kind of pressure and attention that helps people feel genuinely better. I've been serving the LGBT community here for more than 20 years, and I'm proud to say that 85% of my clients are regulars or come back again and again. That loyalty means everything to me.
I trained in Swedish massage at Mueller College of Holistic Studies right here in San Diego, and I've built my practice around that foundation mixed with relaxation therapy. It's a combination that works. You come in tense, knotted up, stressed about work or pain or just life, and you leave calm. That's the goal every single time.
I welcome everyone—gay, bi, straight, transgender, first-timers, longtime clients. My studio in San Diego is private and comfortable, with music, candles, cold water, and a shower if you need it. I'm also mobile, so if you'd rather have me come to you, I'm serving San Diego and the surrounding areas within a 50-mile radius. Call or text me to book. I'm happy to answer questions and find the right time for you.

Testimonials
Steve is my massage therapist of choice. Over the past nine months I've had him work on whatever's bothering me, and this time it was my neck. He creates a space where I can chat if I want to or stay quiet—it's entirely up to me. I walk out completely relaxed and rejuvenated after each visit. I've already scheduled my next appointment for next month. Thanks, Steve.
Hemasseur's Take
One client's extended experience over nine months shows Steve's consistency in targeting specific problem areas like neck tension and delivering genuine relief. Clients appreciate his flexibility—whether they prefer conversation or silence during their session—and leave feeling completely relaxed and ready to move forward.
The high rate of repeat and regular clientele across his 26-year career reflects the kind of trust and comfort that comes from showing up the same way, every time.
