About
Back in October 2004, I completed my Reiki Master certification through Loving Touch Center in Hollywood, Florida. That training opened my eyes to something I'd sensed all along: that real healing isn't just about strong hands—it's about intuition, presence, and meeting someone's body where it actually is that day.
Over the past 13 years, I've built my practice on that foundation. I work with Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, hot stone therapy, assisted stretching, and Reiki to help clients like you step out of stress, release tension that's been locked into your muscles for months or years, and restore a sense of balance you might've forgotten you could feel.
My studio sits in Coral Gables, a quiet, immaculate space where everything—the warm lighting, the music, the aromatherapy, the temperature of the hot stone against your back—is designed to help you fully relax and reset. I also offer mobile massage service throughout Coral Gables and surrounding areas within a 10-mile radius, so if coming to the studio isn't convenient, I'll bring the same care to your home or hotel.
What I've learned over these years is that pressure isn't one-size-fits-all. Some days your body needs deep, therapeutic work. Other days it needs soothing, meditative touch. I listen first, ask about what's bothering you, and then adjust everything in real time—how much pressure, which techniques, how long to hold certain areas. You never have to worry about communicating mid-session if something doesn't feel right; I'm always paying attention.
I also want you to feel completely at ease here. All men are welcome—every body type, background, and orientation. This is a judgment-free space where you can show up as you are and know you'll be treated with respect and care. You can shower before or after if you'd like, parking is free and easy, and I'm available evenings and weekends because I know that's when most people can actually make time for themselves.

I wanted to share that you're in excellent hands with Santiago. I had a relaxing and invigorating massage yesterday and today I feel like a new person. Santiago conducts himself as a true professional from the first text message until you reluctantly leave his care. He responded promptly to all my questions about payment methods and scheduling. Once I arrived, he took time to learn about problem areas in my body so he could address them during the massage. As an older man who exercises regularly, I've developed various issues over time. Santiago listened carefully and afterward even suggested ways I might address my problems in the gym. I struggle with plantar fasciitis, and his massage combined with the aftercare advice he provided has helped me manage this issue significantly.
I was looking for a real, professional massage therapist. Santiago is exactly what I was searching for. From my first session, he's been very kind and welcoming. His studio is spotless and spa-like, and he follows all health guidelines. Before each massage, he asks about specific pain or areas needing attention. His techniques are highly skilled, and the additional Reiki work he includes is a wonderful bonus every visit. I get massage from him every two weeks and always look forward to it. Santiago is my best choice and I fully recommend him.
Since my first massage with him in July, I knew I was in capable hands. Santiago's knowledge and skill shine through as he identifies soreness and tension and makes them disappear as though they were never there. I've seen him multiple times and he's consistently respectful and incredibly kind. I initially came to him when I was dealing with significant pain from a high-stress situation that made my body tense and rigid. After each session, I walked away feeling much better. I continue seeing him because the care, attentiveness, and passion he brings to his work is undeniable. I can't recommend him strongly enough. Do yourself a favor and book a massage today—your body will thank you.
I discovered Santiago through his ads—his photos, description, and reviews caught my attention and suggested he had real experience and positive energy. He didn't disappoint. He has a warm, kind presence and an amazing touch. His varying pressure was perfect for relieving my stress. His studio is private, very clean, and feels like a personal retreat. I arrived a couple minutes late, and he was very accommodating. Having been stressed about being late and work pressures, I actually fell asleep on his table from the deep relaxation I felt. This was one of the best massages I've ever had. I'll definitely return as a regular client.

I'm fortunate to have found Santiago. From the moment he greeted me and showed me into his immaculate studio, I felt at ease. He has a natural charm that puts you at peace immediately. Before starting, he asked about aches and pains, but he also seemed to know instinctively where to apply pressure without my having to spell it out. That kind of awareness only comes from years of experience and knowledge. I felt completely safe in his hands. I've been back several times and plan to visit at least once a month as my schedule allows. Santiago is a rare find—experienced, self-assured, and a great listener who leaves you feeling wonderful as you leave his studio.
