About
Over 15 years of hands-on work has taught me what actually helps. A Licensed Massage Therapist trained at Morgantown College in West Virginia, I've spent nearly two decades learning how different bodies respond to different touch, and how to listen when someone tells me what they need.
My studio in downtown St. Petersburg is a clean, private space where you can be exactly who you are. Gay, bi, trans, straight—all are welcome here. I mean that. Your comfort matters, and so does your preference for how much or how little draping you want. If you need a shower before or after, it's right there.
I blend deep tissue, Swedish, and trigger point work depending on what your body's telling me that day. Some days you need total relaxation. Other days you're carrying tension from travel, work, old injuries, or life—and that's where more therapeutic pressure does the real work. I adjust as we go.
Flexible scheduling is my style, but calling ahead gets you the exact day and time that fits your life. I also do outcall sessions, serving St. Petersburg and surrounding areas within a 25-mile radius. And if you want to add our all-natural sugar scrub exfoliation to any session, that's $40 and feels incredible on the skin.

Testimonials
John welcomed me warmly and got straight to work on my back, picking up where the previous session had left off. After the first massage, I could finally stand upright again. This time, the work was broader and more relaxing, helping release the final layers of stress, knots, and soreness. His skill with deeper pressure work paid off completely. The next morning I felt only minor tiredness, and by now, eight days later, I'm totally pain-free and grateful I found him.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients report significant relief from travel-related back tension and pain, with John's work addressing both acute tightness and deeper knots in a single session.
His attentive, warming presence and willingness to adjust pressure and focus across multiple sessions builds trust and delivers lasting results—pain-free recovery that clients notice days after treatment.
