About
Sixteen years in the same Fort Lauderdale location has taught me what real healing looks like. Over 1,000 hours of massage in 2024 alone tells you something about how this work matters to me—and to the people who come back, year after year.
My private studio in Wilton Manors is exactly that: yours alone. Climate-controlled, spotless, with a heated massage table, hot towels, and the kind of quiet where you can actually breathe. Free parking. A bathroom. Everything you need to show up, let go, and leave feeling like yourself again.
I work with deep tissue, Swedish, sports massage, and Esalen technique. What matters more than the name is what your body needs that day. I listen. I ask questions about what's tight, what hurts, what you're carrying. Then I do the work—full pressure where it counts, intuitive about what your muscles can take, aware enough to catch discomfort before it becomes pain.
Clients tell me they've been getting massage for years and never felt anything like it. Athletes recover faster. People with chronic pain finally sleep through the night. First-timers come back. That's what happens when someone's been doing this long enough to know the difference between a rub and real massage.
Text, call, or WhatsApp to book. All credit cards welcome. Closed Sundays. Open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. most days. I guarantee every minute you pay for.

Testimonials
Scheduling was simple—just a text, appointment confirmed within an hour. The studio itself stood out. Professional space, not someone's home. Spotless. The massage was thorough and precise. In all my years getting massage, this was honestly one of the best I've ever had.
I booked a massage after finishing a marathon. Great race, even better recovery. Chris mixed deep pressure with stretching and some aromatherapy work. Became a regular after that. His sessions are never the same twice, always spot-on. Favorite massage person I've found.
First time with Chris, though I've had plenty of massage before. He was personable, asked smart questions, and delivered a thorough, professional session. The technique was solid and the pressure exactly right—he noticed discomfort and stayed sensitive to what my muscles could handle. I'll be back. Heard he was voted best in San Francisco, and it shows.
I've been to Chris multiple times. The space is great and so are the massages. Highly recommend.
My partner and I both got massages on the same day. We agreed it was the best massage either of us has had. Wish we lived in Fort Lauderdale. We'd be coming back regularly.
I'm also a Florida LMT and Chris listened to exactly what I needed. Wish I'd booked two hours. He addressed everything I pointed out and found issues I didn't even know were there. Great work. Will return.
Great experience from the moment I walked in—Chris made me feel comfortable right away. I got a deep tissue massage and felt amazing the next day. Coming back for sure.
Amazing massage. A week of travel stress just melted away. So glad I found this. My partner also got a session and loved it just as much.
Excellent work by a true professional. Chris checked in about pressure a few times, then let me focus on breathing and the experience. After, he gave me a full rundown of where I need more work. Can't recommend him enough.
Chris greeted me, took me to the room, asked about problem areas. I just wanted to relax. Got on the table and he did his thing. Realized after I didn't bring enough cash for a tip, told him I'd run back. He said don't worry. I came back with tip money anyway. Always an amazing massage.
Chris fit me in on short notice. I was a couple minutes late and still got my full hour. The massage was excellent. He checked in about pressure, then stayed quiet so I could sink into the music and the work. He made a real connection at the start and held it all the way through. Definitely going back.
Chris was fantastic. One of the best massages I've had in years. Studio was nice, parking was easy. Definitely going back.
I've been a long-term client of Chris for years. He really listens to what's bothering you, and the results show. Walk out feeling like a new person. Great energy, very professional, and he has a gift for finding exactly the right pressure to get every last knot out. Big fan.
Chris is an excellent massage therapist. His service was voted Best Massage in South Florida for 2015, which tracks. This was my third visit and definitely won't be my last. Hoping to get another appointment before my vacation ends.
I've been going to Chris for five years. First-rate massages every time. The studio is clean, very professional, kind, and gentle. I'm hooked.
Chris did excellent work. The office is very professional, and his approach balances therapeutic technique with real care.
The space felt inviting. The heated massage table and skillful technique made the whole experience deeply relaxing.
Second session with Chris and somehow even better than the first. After many professional massages over the years, Chris is the best therapist I've worked with. Listens to what you need, trained well. From arrival through finish, you feel taken care of. Studio is spotless, relaxing, and inviting. Heated table, bottled water, warm towel cleanup at the end. Great touches. Recommend Chris to anyone who takes their massage seriously.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently praise Chris for genuine listening, intuitive pressure work, and a studio experience that stands out as professional and spotless. Specific outcomes appear repeatedly: athletes recovering faster after races, chronic pain sufferers sleeping better, and people with years of massage history describing this as the best session they've had.
What separates the feedback is attention to detail—checking in on pressure without over-talking, remembering what a client mentioned weeks ago, catching discomfort before it becomes pain. The heated table, hot towels, and private space matter too, but it's the skill and care that brings people back year after year.
