About
Over eight years of hands-on work with San Francisco clients has taught me something simple: tension is individual. What feels tight to you might need a completely different approach than what your friend needs. That's why I don't follow a script.
I practice an intuitive Swedish massage that shifts from person to person. Some days you'll feel deep tissue pressure working into those stubborn knots. Other sessions might flow with lighter, more rhythmic strokes. I listen to your body and adjust as we go, blending light and deep techniques so the pressure matches what you actually need, not what a protocol says you should get.
I've built my practice around helping you relax completely. I use aromatherapy and music in my San Francisco studio to create that space where your nervous system can finally settle. Whether you're a repeat client reconnecting or someone new walking in for the first time, I treat the work seriously. I'm also here to serve clients throughout the LGBT community and welcome a diverse clientele.
When you reach out, text me rather than calling—I can't always pick up from numbers I don't recognize. Just let me know if you're returning or new. And about comfort: I'm fully vaccinated and happy to work with or without a mask, whatever makes you feel safe.
I'm available in my studio and also do mobile massage serving San Francisco and the surrounding areas within a five-mile radius.
Techniques
Testimonials
The full-body stretching work was fantastic—left me feeling loose and relaxed all over. If you want even more of a stretch, definitely book the 90 or 120-minute session. A wonderful afternoon of healing massage and great conversation!
Hemasseur's Take
Clients highlight Chris's skill in incorporating full-body stretching that leaves them feeling loose and genuinely relaxed. The longer 90- and 120-minute sessions are particularly praised for delivering a more thorough and comprehensive stretch experience.
