About
Training at the London School of Massage and later at Bodyology in London gave me a foundation I still build on every single day. That was over eight years ago now, and in that time I've worked with hundreds of clients — each one teaching me something about what their body needs.
I've learned that there's no one-size-fits-all pressure or technique. Some people walk in carrying months of tension in their shoulders and upper back. Others need something gentler, more focused on circulation and how the lymphatic system moves. I listen first. Always. Before my hands touch the table, I'm asking you what's happening in your body, where you're feeling stuck, whether you want me to go deeper or ease back.
My studio in Miami is a peaceful, clean space where you can actually relax. I keep the music soft, the candles lit, the water cold. I work on a professional table with the kind of pressure that makes a real difference — deep tissue when that's what you need, lymphatic drainage when your body's asking for something gentler, sports massage techniques for active clients who want to stay mobile and strong. Sometimes it's all three in one session, depending on what I find when I start working.
I'm serving Miami and surrounding areas within a 25-mile radius, whether you want to come to the studio or prefer me to come to you. The best way to reach me is by text — that way we can find a time that actually works for your schedule.
Techniques
Testimonials
Just finished a session with Rapha and the results were immediate. His technique and skill are exceptional, especially the work he did on my back and legs. The downtown Miami location is private and spotless, and Rapha himself carries himself with a professional, welcoming presence. I'm already booking my next appointment.
Rapha is warm and attentive. He asked about my pressure preferences right at the start and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I had a pulled muscle that had been tight for weeks, and his work actually got it to release. I'd recommend him without hesitation.
This was my first massage with Rapha and without a doubt one of the best I've ever experienced. From the moment we met, I felt I'd found someone I could trust with my body. He started by checking in about my day and whether the pressure felt right, and within minutes I was completely at ease. His strength and care work together in a way that makes you feel genuinely supported. When I left, I felt lighter and ready to take on whatever came next. I'll be back for sure.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients describe Rapha as exceptionally skilled at reading their body and adjusting his pressure to match their needs, with particular praise for his work on chronic tension in the back and legs. His studio in downtown Miami is noted as private and immaculate, and his manner immediately puts people at ease on the table. Multiple clients have reported lasting relief from muscle tightness and a sense of deep relaxation after sessions.
What stands out across reviews is his combination of professional technical ability with genuine attentiveness — he listens before and during the massage, making each person feel cared for rather than rushed through.

FAQ
How much does deep tissue massage cost in Miami?
Deep tissue massage in my Miami studio is $200 for 60 minutes or $300 for 90 minutes. If you'd like me to come to you, mobile rates are $250 for an hour or $350 for 90 minutes.
Do you offer mobile massage near Miami, Florida?
Yes, I offer mobile massage throughout Miami and surrounding areas within a 25-mile radius. Mobile sessions are $250 for 60 minutes and $350 for 90 minutes, and I bring a professional table to your home or hotel.
What's the difference between deep tissue and lymphatic drainage massage?
Deep tissue uses stronger pressure to release chronic tension and muscle knots, while lymphatic drainage is gentler and focuses on moving fluid through your body's lymphatic system. I can blend both techniques in a single session depending on what your body needs.
Can you help with a pulled muscle or sports injury?
Absolutely. I specialize in sports massage and have experience working with clients recovering from muscle strains. I'll assess what's happening, ask about your pain level, and use techniques designed to help the muscle heal without re-injuring it.
