About
Fifteen years of hands-on practice have taught me what the human body really needs. When I started at Chattanooga State College back in 2009, I learned the fundamentals, but it's the thousands of sessions since then that revealed the truth: every person carries tension differently, and every body has its own language. I've trained in everything from deep tissue and trigger point work to Thai massage, hot stone therapy, and myofascial release. I stretch my clients because that's where the long-term healing happens—not just in the moment, but in what your body remembers after you leave.
My studio here in Panama City Beach is private and quiet. The massage table is heated, the room is lit by candles, and there's a full bathroom with a bidet attached. I keep regular hours, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and weekends until 10 p.m., but every appointment needs to be scheduled with notice so I can give you my full attention.
I work with a lot of gay men and LGBTQ+ clients who've become regulars. What they tell me matters. They say I listen, I ask questions, and I don't assume. I bring confidence and privacy to each session because I know how important that feels. My certification, my training, my years in the field, my intuition about the body—all of that comes together so I can customize every single massage to what *you* actually need. Whether you're looking for deep therapeutic work or something more relaxing, whether you want aromatherapy and hot stones or a full-body stretch and pressure-point session, I deliver.
I also serve the surrounding areas within a 50-mile radius as a mobile therapist, bringing the same heated table, music, and aromatherapy experience to you.

Testimonials
The session started with a clear explanation of what to expect, which helped me relax immediately. Within minutes of beginning, I gave myself over to an experience that was unlike anything I'd felt before—a blend of therapeutic challenge and pure relief. Every touch served a purpose toward my wellbeing. After the massage, Tristan sat with me and we talked as people do about life, how we fit in, and how we can be better stewards of our own lives and the people around us. A day later, I'm still feeling the physical and mental benefits.
When I travel, I seek out different massage therapists and have tried many over recent years. Tristan is among the very best. From his first texts, he was friendly and warm. When I arrived, he asked numerous questions about what I needed and explained thoroughly what the session would be like. The massage itself was outstanding. He addressed all the areas I mentioned because I'd had lingering issues from an old car accident. He kept checking in and offering to adjust as needed. His use of hot stones and hot oil was incredible. I'll definitely return.
The studio itself blew me away—Tristan had created a truly sensory environment. But that was just the start. From the first five minutes, I was overwhelmed by sensations that kept building throughout the hour. His touch is firm and dynamic, his flow is hard to describe but easy to feel. If you've only had standard massages, Tristan will exceed anything you've experienced. Thank you for something truly one-of-a-kind.
My first massage with Tristan was one word: perfection. I've worked with many massage therapists over the years and his skills are simply the best. His approach is methodical and his hands are incredibly skilled. He's earned a loyal repeat customer in me.
As a massage therapist myself, I've had many massages and experienced a lot in the field. Finding Tristan was like finding heaven. He's one of the best I've received in years and taught me new techniques as well. He's open to suggestions and adapts the session to what I need. I've been seeing him for about a year and a half now, and he delivers exactly what he says he will. He's skilled, professional, and genuinely a good person. Every month I leave feeling uplifted and encouraged.
Booking was smooth and easy. When I arrived, I felt instantly at ease, and Tristan discussed the massage thoroughly before we began. The heated table added so much to the relaxation. His touch was expert from the very first moment. Long, flowing strokes worked through every muscle group, and he kept checking in on my comfort throughout. I've had several massages in my life and this was absolutely the best. I'm already looking forward to the next session.
I had been hesitant but decided to take a chance. Tristan was kind enough to squeeze me in within hours of his departure. He greeted me with a warm smile and we chatted first, which put me completely at ease. His massage is powerful, intuitive, and healing. I've had multiple sessions with him since and he has tremendous skill and strong, intuitive hands that seem to know where the tension is without me saying anything. His approach is diverse and I'm grateful I found him. I book with him every time he's in town.
I'm five months post-op from major back surgery and still dealing with stiffness and some pain. After exchanging texts about what to expect, I drove two hours to see him. Tristan put me at ease before I even arrived, so I wasn't nervous about the session or about him. After ninety minutes, I felt like I'd made a new friend and I'm planning monthly visits. He's a true professional and an even better communicator. He's the best you'll find.
This was my first massage ever, and Tristan made the entire experience welcoming. He spent time listening to what I wanted, then explained what would happen, which calmed any nervousness. The studio felt perfect—warm table, soft lighting, music, privacy, and a full bathroom attached. His hot stone and massage techniques were excellent, and I left feeling completely relaxed and stress-free. I'll definitely book with him again on my next visit.
This ranks in my top three massages ever, and I've had treatments at some of the best spas worldwide. It comes down to the therapist's attitude and technique, and Tristan delivers on both counts. He asked what I needed and went all-out with deep tissue, hot stones, and other techniques. His touch is excellent and his studio is comfortable. Ninety minutes flew by. Do yourself a favor and book with him right away—your body will thank you.
Tristan is a kind and welcoming person who made me comfortable right away. His massage space is clean and cozy. My job involves repetitive motion that leaves my back stiff, and he applies exactly the right pressure in exactly the right spots to relieve that pain. I always walk out relaxed and pain-free. His massages are perfectly done from head to toe. I'll be back soon.
I've been a monthly client of Tristan's for at least two years. He seems to intuitively sense where my body needs the most work. He's truly the best massage therapist I've worked with across many years and many therapists. Don't skip the hot stones—they're outstanding.
I've been a regular client for several months now. Tristan embodies what a massage should be for any client. He pays careful attention to every detail for the best possible experience. He reads the room—knowing when to communicate and when to stay silent. The sessions are designed for muscle and joint healing and recovery. His expertise shows throughout, and the way he works is uniquely his own. Booking with him is never a question—you'll exceed your own expectations.
Tristan is hands down the best massage therapist I've ever worked with. I started seeing him seven or eight years ago and managed to reconnect a couple years back after losing his number. I drive two hours roughly once a month just to see him—that's how good he is. The leg stretches alone are incredible. He's a genuinely nice guy with a great personality and easy to talk to. His studio is always spotless and top-notch. Every day you wait, you're missing out on an outstanding massage.
I've probably seen over a hundred massage therapists because of a car accident years ago. Tristan impressed me from our first meeting. He discussed the session, asked what to expect, and encouraged me to communicate my own needs throughout. He used his knowledge to stretch me in ways I'd never experienced—they were wonderful. Most of my past therapists disappointed me, but not him. I've already booked my next session for when he returns. He's also far more fit and muscular than his photos show. Beyond his skills, I feel like I've made a real friend, which is rare. Book now if he has openings.
Tristan stands out as a truly professional and thorough massage therapist who listens carefully to what clients need and communicates throughout the session to ensure both comfort and results. His knowledge of pressure points and anatomy is evident in everything he does, whether delivering powerful deep tissue work or a fully restorative experience. We had a couples massage with him and were so impressed we booked another session during the same trip—something we've never done with another therapist. His sessions feel completely personalized, and he even took time to teach us how to massage each other. We left feeling noticeably better in body and mind.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently describe Tristan as an exceptionally skilled and intuitive massage therapist whose knowledge of anatomy and muscle work sets him apart. Reviewers emphasize his ability to listen, customize sessions to individual needs, and create a comfortable, private environment, along with his signature use of hot stones and stretching techniques that deliver both immediate relaxation and lasting relief. Many clients drive long distances or book monthly appointments, and several note that his massages rank among the best they've ever experienced across their lives and travels.
