About
Nineteen years of hands-on bodywork have taught me what most people need before they even know to ask for it. I came to massage through Ayurveda—studied at the New School of Massage and Bodywork in Chicago—and that training shaped everything I do. It's not just about pressure. It's about listening to the body's language: where it holds tension, where it's forgotten how to breathe, where a knot has been whispering for years.
I recently moved to Port Charlotte from Chicagoland, and I bring that same intuitive approach here. My specialty is Ayurvedic bodywork—full-body treatment from head to toe using warm organic oils infused with ancient Indian herbs. The oil I choose for your head is different from the blend I use for your body. For your scalp and sinuses, I select a formula designed to de-stress and clear congestion. For your muscles and skin, it's a coconut oil mix with herbs that soothe deep tension while nourishing what's on the surface.
What makes a session with me different is the stretching. I weave yoga stretches throughout the massage—finding the spots you didn't know needed attention and releasing them through both deep pressure and gentle lengthening. I work with all body types, all races, all genders, all orientations. You're safe here. LGBTQIA friendly means it.
I'm available in my Port Charlotte studio and I also offer mobile massage, serving the surrounding area within 25 miles. For outcalls, I prefer a minimum of 90 minutes so I can give you the full treatment you deserve. Text me for same-day or advance bookings—that's the fastest way to reach me. I take good care of my clients and make sure you leave feeling truly relaxed.

Testimonials
From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease. DJ really listened to where I was holding tension and spent time stretching and working out knots. By the end, I felt so much more flexible and relaxed. His technique is strong, his hands are skilled, and he knows how to release tight muscles safely. If you want to be stretched out and feel truly refreshed, DJ is the person to see.
Thank you for a great experience. The massage was so physical and you put so much effort in. I also appreciated the generous facial scrub, conditioner, and Argan hair spray. It was a sensory experience for all my senses. You're gifted. I look forward to my next trip to Florida.
DJ is an incredible massage therapist and a true professional. He really understands what his clients need and goes out of his way to be accommodating, understanding, and comforting. I'm giving him five stars without hesitation. I'll be back very soon.
I booked because of lower back pain and tight hamstrings. From the first contact through the session itself, DJ was nice and very attentive. He discussed my issues and created a plan to address them. He checked in about pressure and comfort throughout. His attention to detail helped him pinpoint exactly what needed work. The combination of massage and stretching gave me real relief. I've never been stretched by a professional before and I can say it was an amazing experience. DJ made me feel comfortable and never pushed anything I didn't need. He's worth recommending to anyone looking for pain relief.
After nearly two years of seeing DJ for full-body massages that ease sore muscles and cranky joints, I visited him after a bout with a bad sinus infection. He changed things up and massaged my head and scalp with Indian oils infused with what seemed like mint, eucalyptus, and menthol. The massage and the scents powerfully cleared my sinuses. When he checked in the next day, I was breathing normally again. For future illnesses, I might skip antibiotics and head straight for his Ayurvedic bodywork.
DJ was very easy to set up with last-minute notice. He was pleasant and helpful. The location was easy to find with easy parking. The room was nice and warm. His massage was one of the best I've received. He applied excellent technique to stretch and massage the soreness out. He was extremely pleasant and professional. I recommend him highly and will return. He's also giving me stretching exercises to increase my flexibility.
I had the amazing pleasure of experiencing DJ's massage while visiting family in Florida. My body was overworked, stressed, and exhausted. Right after the two-hour session, I felt completely rejuvenated. It was a magical experience of soft tissue work. His skills are real and proven. He listens and speaks to the body through intuition, education, and experience. If you need a strong reconnection to your body, DJ is your person. He sets the bar very high. You will not be disappointed. Looking forward to my next visit.
DJ is a perfect healer. He combines techniques from his years of training into an incredibly intense therapeutic massage that my weary traveler's body will benefit from for weeks to come. Looking forward to our next session soon.
That was the most amazing massage I've ever had. Since being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, this session has helped my mobility so much. I'm definitely a repeat client and I recommend him to everyone. Thank you for the relief.
I usually don't write reviews, but this experience was extraordinary. As a nurse dealing with major pain in my shoulders, shoulder blades, neck, lower back, and lower legs, I can say that DJ relieved all those knots. I literally have no pain now. The Indian oils with herbs soothed the tension and really helped with relaxation and release. I've been to many massage therapists and he's the real deal. His techniques are unusual but extremely effective. I chose the 90-minute session and he incorporates more techniques into 90 minutes than into 60 minutes, and it was completely worth it. I can bend, turn my neck, and walk without pain. Highly recommend trying him.
DJ was wonderful and accommodated me on short notice. He was on time, easy to find, easy parking, and welcomed me with a warm smile. His massage room was very comfortable. His style was exactly what I needed. He made me feel at home immediately. The session wasn't rushed and the pressure was perfect. He kept checking in about comfort and pressure. I highly recommend him and his massage. He's a skilled and compassionate therapist.
Glad I came back. The best massage I've had in a long time. He's so nice and welcoming. Definitely returning.
This was one of the best and most relaxing therapeutic massages I've ever experienced. DJ covered every problem area with care and skill. Definitely coming back soon.
Feeling much better now. The muscle tension and tightness in my back, hips, and legs has improved significantly. I can stand up straighter and walk easier. You do solid massage work.
I'm a happy repeat customer. DJ has an intuitive understanding of what your body needs and adjusts his technique to give you the most benefit. He's one of the best.
If you want a deeply therapeutic massage from a warm-hearted authentic guy, this is it. DJ knows what he's doing and brings a lot of heart to his work. Trained in Ayurvedic massage, he uses warm oil with Indian herbs which is both therapeutic and wonderful. This was my second visit and I'm looking forward to the next one.
DJ is the best. I had severe soreness on the right side of my back to the point I couldn't function. Two days after the massage, the pain was almost gone. It hurt a bit during the work, but the results speak for themselves. Thank you.
DJ has his own unique style customized to each client. It was easy to schedule. He's punctual, warm, highly skilled, and an exceptional therapist. I recommend him to anyone needing a thorough massage for relaxation.
First time meeting and I'm glad I did. He did an amazing job. My legs were sore from working out and he massaged them out. Made me feel so much better. Definitely going back.
Thank you for an hour of pure massage bliss. You're spontaneous, intuitive, charming with great humor, and you have a perfect touch. I'm so glad to know you and looking forward to our next session. You're truly a therapist. I'm completely relaxed and content. You're the best.
Best massage I've had in a long time. Different techniques worked out knots and other issues better than other therapists. Really cool guy who connects with people. Looking forward to my next appointment.
DJ was available the same day I reached out while traveling for work. My lower back was tight and sore, and he worked through the tension with skill and care. Very professional, very respectful. I'm booking with him again.
Will definitely return on my next trip to Chicago. Your massage is truly unique and your energy was incredible. I left totally refreshed and revived. Thank you.
After a long drive, I booked with DJ and was greeted warmly. The massage itself was incredible. His use of yoga stretching techniques was unlike anything I've experienced before. If you want something unique and effective, I recommend DJ to anyone.
Legitimately the greatest massage I've ever had. The pressure is intense—almost unbearable at times—but the results are worth it. I felt so much better after. Looking forward to my next appointment.
This was an amazing experience. I left feeling rejuvenated. I have trouble with my hips and knees and this massage relieved that pressure. I slept like a baby for several nights after. Definitely coming back.
It was very easy to arrange an appointment with DJ. He's extremely courteous and his bodywork technique is unlike anything I've experienced before. His movements were unpredictable in the best way. He reminds me of an elephant in possessing a mystical understanding of humans. He's definitely a keeper and I'll text him for another appointment next time I'm in Chicago.
He was excellent. It was like no other massage I've had. He really works the muscles that I didn't know needed attention. His technique is very unique and you won't find it anywhere else. Highly recommend.
Each massage therapist has their own style, but DJ has a unique talent for working through muscle groups thoroughly. That massage was great. His technique and approach really stand out.
I've had massage all over the world. The massage from DJ was without question the very best I've ever had. I was in and out of sleep but aware he was using techniques and efforts I'd never experienced before. He's one of the most intuitive masseurs I've encountered. I plan to see him regularly every other week. Every detail—the space, music, lime water afterward, cleanliness—was top-notch. Go to him. You won't find a better massage or leave more limber.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently praise DJ's unique technique, intuitive approach, and ability to find and release tension in areas they didn't know needed attention, with many reporting significant relief from chronic pain, improved mobility, and deep relaxation after sessions. His Ayurvedic massage using warm herbal oils combined with yoga stretching has helped clients manage conditions ranging from lower back pain and rheumatoid arthritis to sinus congestion, and his warm, professional demeanor makes people feel safe and cared for.
The yoga stretching component and his choice of organic herbal oils are standout features that distinguish his work from other massage therapists, with repeat clients emphasizing that his 90-minute and two-hour sessions deliver more comprehensive results than shorter appointments.
