About
At Kalani School of Massage on Hawaii Island, I spent two years from 2010 to 2012 diving deep into Hawaiian Lomilomi technique. That foundation shaped everything I do now, over a decade later. Lomilomi taught me to listen with my hands, to feel what each body is asking for rather than imposing a single approach.
I combine Lomilomi with Deep Tissue, Swedish, and Thai massage, along with Reiki, Reflexology, and Aromatherapy. The pressure, the technique, the rhythm — I adjust all of it based on what I sense in your body. My background in dance and yoga gave me years of understanding human anatomy from the inside out. I've moved in these bodies, taught them, and now I help them recover and find their vitality again.
My studio in San Francisco is warm and cozy, the kind of space where you can actually relax. I use high-quality products, keep everything clean and inviting, and I've built a community of returning clients who trust me. I'm LGBTQ+ friendly and open to all different kinds of bodies and people. Whether you're coming in from across the city or I'm meeting you in your home, I show up the same way: with full attention and the specific touch your body needs right now.

Testimonials
Over 14 years of knowing Brian, I've made it a point to see him whenever work brings me back to San Francisco. His massage space is serene and welcoming. The way he works is fluid and full-hearted. If you're looking for a great massage experience, Brian is worth booking.
I arrived in San Francisco from the East Coast and was thrilled to get in with Brian. He paid close attention throughout the session and I felt genuinely connected to him. His massage hit exactly what I needed in that moment: strong hands, solid pressure, and deep calm. The studio was spotless and inviting. After leaving, I felt restored and could fully embrace my first day in the city.
Brian's combination of firm and gentle touch reveals sensations you may never have experienced before. When you show him where pain lives, he finds the exact point to release it so you can let go and enjoy your life again. I only discovered him two days before leaving San Francisco, but I'm already planning to come back. He's truly remarkable at what he does.
Brian's massage this morning was excellent. He was attentive and gave great pressure throughout. The studio was set up with COVID safety in mind. He communicated clearly and checked in regularly to make sure I felt good during the session.
