About

Deep tissue work paired with acupressure and Swedish technique creates something rare: relief that lasts. Over 11 years, I've learned that the body tells you exactly what it needs if you listen to the pressure, the breath, the way tension releases under steady hands.

I'm Matt, and I work out of the Castro in San Francisco, serving clients throughout the city and into the East Bay when given notice. I'm fully licensed, fully vaccinated, and I love working with members of the LGBT community — though I work with everyone, regardless of age, background, body type, or nationality. You'll find me friendly, experienced, and genuinely interested in giving you one of the best massages in the Bay.

My approach blends several techniques. I can dial in deep pressure when your shoulders and lower back are screaming, or shift into something gentler and more restorative if relaxation is what you're after. Acupressure, sports therapy, reflexology, Swedish — I use what your body needs. I also offer tandem massage with a partner if you want four hands working together.

Right now I'm doing outcalls only, but I come to you. That means your home, your hotel near SFO, anywhere within reach. I travel to the airport and East Bay by arrangement. I bring a heated table, hot towels, candles, and music — whatever helps you settle in and let the work happen. Payment's flexible too: cash, card, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay.

Testimonials

My scoliosis got much worse after a New York flight, and this massage therapist took away so much of the pain. 9.8 out of 10. Just heads up: if floral candles aren't your thing, let him know.

Thank you for driving out to SFO on short notice. The massage was excellent quality. Being a pilot dealing with sciatica, I really needed that relief. Appreciate it, and have a great New Year.

Really solid bodywork from a skilled masseur. I took a wrong turn getting there and he was understanding and flexible about it. I wanted deep pressure and he delivered without question. My back pain went away and I'm very satisfied. If you're looking to recover from intense activity or just relax, I'd recommend this therapist in the Bay Area.
