About
Sheridan Technical College in Hollywood taught me the foundations of Swedish and deep tissue work, but seven years of hands-on sessions with real clients in Fort Lauderdale have been my true education. I completed my licensed massage therapy training there in 2019, followed by esthetics coursework, and every day since I've refined what it means to listen to a body and respond with the right pressure, the right technique, the right care.
I blend Swedish and deep tissue approaches because tension doesn't come in one flavor. Some days you need long, flowing strokes that ease your nervous system into calm. Other days you need firm, focused pressure on those stubborn knots that won't let go. I read what your body's telling me and adjust.
Trigger point therapy, acupressure, sports massage work, aromatherapy—these are all tools in my kit, and I use them to address what brought you in. Maybe it's lower back pain from sitting all day. Maybe you're an athlete recovering from a hard week. Maybe you just need permission to stop moving for ninety minutes and feel your shoulders drop.
My studio in Fort Lauderdale is designed for you to actually relax. The table is plush and warm. Fresh linens. Hypoallergenic oils. Soft music. Hot towel scrub when we're done. I serve the LGBTQIA+ community with particular care—your privacy and comfort are non-negotiable—but I welcome anyone who's looking for real, skilled bodywork.
I also offer mobile massage throughout Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas within a ten-mile radius, so if traveling isn't in the cards, I'll come to you. Text me to book or hit the booking button. Advance scheduling is always best, though I do take same-day appointments when I can.
Techniques
Testimonials
Ian is deeply knowledgeable and truly excellent at his craft. Whether it's Swedish, deep tissue, or any other technique, he brings real skill and genuine warmth to every session.
The best massage I've had in quite some time. Ian knows his work and knows exactly where to apply the right amount of pressure to hit trigger points. He also checked in regularly to make sure I was comfortable. I slept deeply that night and woke up feeling like a completely different person. Ian is my new go-to massage therapist.
What a wonderful find. Ian's kindness and attentiveness made me feel at ease throughout the entire massage. He delivered a thorough full-body treatment, addressing both front and back with careful attention to detail. I walked out feeling deeply relaxed and so much better. I'm absolutely coming back.
The most effective massage work I've experienced. Ian paid close attention to what I needed and zeroed in on my problem areas. He even warmed my lower back before working on the tension there. His approach was methodical and thorough, and the results spoke for themselves. I scheduled a follow-up just three days later and will be a regular.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently praise Ian for his attentiveness, skill with deep tissue and trigger point work, and ability to make them feel genuinely cared for throughout their session. Multiple reviews highlight the lasting physical results—better sleep, restored mobility, and lower back relief—achieved through his methodical approach and willingness to listen closely to each client's specific concerns. His combination of technical expertise and interpersonal warmth stands out as the reason people return for regular sessions.

FAQ
How much does deep tissue massage cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A 60-minute deep tissue session is $100 in-studio or $160 mobile (within 10 miles). 90 minutes runs $140 in-studio, $200 mobile. 120-minute sessions are $200 in-studio or $260 mobile. First-time clients receive a discount.

What's the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?
Swedish massage uses longer, flowing strokes to calm your nervous system and improve circulation—ideal when you want total relaxation. Deep tissue applies firmer, focused pressure to release built-up tension in specific areas and restore flexibility. I blend both depending on what your body needs.
What is trigger point therapy?
Trigger point therapy targets stubborn knots and tight spots that limit your movement or cause referred pain. I apply sustained pressure to release these points and enhance your overall mobility and comfort. It's often combined with Swedish or deep tissue work.

Same-day appointments are possible but limited, so advance scheduling is recommended. Use the booking button or text me with your preferred time and service, and I'll confirm availability as soon as I'm free.
