About
Sonoma College's 750-hour massage therapy certificate program in 2004 was where I learned the foundations that still guide my work today. Twenty years later, I've logged over 1000 hours of therapeutic bodywork, and that training—combined with real-world experience working with hundreds of clients—has taught me how to listen to what a body actually needs.
I'm Kristopher, a CAMTC Certified Massage Therapist, and I work exclusively with therapeutic massage. No fluff, no spa upsell. When you come to my studio in Union Square, you're getting legitimate bodywork from someone who knows how to use focused pressure, how to vary technique, and how to address the specific issues keeping you stuck.
I work with the LGBTQ community and all clients who want real relief. Your safety matters to me—I'm fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and monkeypox. I offer focused sessions to target particular problem areas, or I blend techniques depending on what your body is telling me. I'm skilled in deep tissue, Swedish, acupressure, and chair massage. Some people come in regularly; others just need one strong session to reset. Either way, you'll walk out feeling the difference.
My studio is easy to reach if you're in San Francisco. Close to the Sutter Stockton Parking Garage, and public transit gets you there without stress. I also offer mobile massage, serving San Francisco and surrounding areas for clients who prefer treatment at home.

Testimonials
I was traveling on business in the city and needed a real massage from a genuine professional. Kristopher's listing stood out, and it delivered on every front. He answered my text that morning and fit me in the same day. Walking into his studio, his peaceful presence immediately eased my nerves, and his skills took over from there. His hands are strong but controlled, adjusting pressure where it counts. I fell into a state of deep relaxation multiple times. I arrived wound up and anxious, but I left feeling weightless.
Hemasseur's Take
One client who traveled to San Francisco for business found exactly what they were looking for: a legitimate therapeutic massage from a true professional who combines calm presence with skilled, controlled pressure. They noted how Kristopher's ability to vary his approach throughout the session helped them move from stress and anxiety to a state of complete relaxation in a single visit.
