About

Graduated from the International School of Beauty in Palm Desert this past fall, I completed my massage therapy training with a focus on what actually works for real people dealing with real stress. Those months of intensive study taught me that the power of touch isn't something we should underestimate. Too often we brush off a good massage as a luxury, but I've seen firsthand how releasing tension and anxiety can shift someone's entire relationship with their body and mind.

I'm here in San Mateo at 377 Laurie Meadows Drive to support that shift. My professional goal is straightforward: help people learn how better self-care through massage leads to a better life. Stress, anxiety, pain, muscle tension—we all carry these. I work with clients to release what's weighing them down so they can find that balance of peace and personal strength they deserve.

I bring a range of techniques to the table. I work with hot stone, deep tissue, Swedish massage, and aromatherapy to address what your body needs. Whether you're coming to my studio or I'm coming to you across San Mateo and surrounding areas, I show up with strong hands, knowledge of what tension looks like, and a genuine commitment to your wellness. I'm proud to support the LGBTQ+ community. I'm a CAMTC member (#98232), and I work with cash, Venmo, and Zelle to keep things simple.

Testimonials

Visiting the area and spotted Jose's listing. Worth giving him a try. Clean studio, easy to find, good parking situation. Texting to book was painless. Jose has really strong hands and knows how to use his forearms effectively. The touch is truly calming, just like he mentions. Really appreciate the session, and I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Booked an appointment with Jose via text and got a quick response with good time slots. I've had plenty of massages over the years, and this ranks among the very best. Jose's hands and forearms are powerful, and he zeroed in on sore spots that needed attention. I was so relaxed I nearly drifted off. The whole experience was great—friendly, clean space, high-quality products. I scheduled 90 minutes and I'm definitely coming back.
