About
Over 12 years of working with clients' bodies has taught me what real relief looks like. When someone walks into my studio in Edgewater and lies down on that table, I'm not just applying pressure — I'm listening to what their muscles are holding onto, where the knots have settled in, where tension has made a home. That's something you learn by doing it, year after year, with honesty and attention.
I work in a clean, quiet space here in Chicago that I've decorated to feel calm the moment you arrive. My approach is straightforward: I use essential oils and lotion to create space in your physical body, working through Swedish massage, deep tissue, hot stones, and hot towels to release what's been locked up. The music and aromatherapy in the room aren't afterthoughts — they're part of the work. I'm a Colombian guy who's built my practice serving the gay community and anyone else looking for a legitimate, real massage from someone who takes it seriously.
I offer full body work with stretching in a 60-minute session. Go longer with me for 90 minutes and you get the full treatment: exfoliation on your back if you want it, reflexology on your feet, hot stones and hot towels, plus stretching. I also do facials, body scrubs, and body trimming. My hands can work sports massage deep and athletic, or I can dial it back for pure relaxation — whatever your body needs that day.
I'm available in my studio or I'll come to you within a 10-mile radius of Chicago. Fully vaccinated. I'm not always able to answer right away, but I will get back to you. Trust yourself to my hands.

Testimonials
Had an exceptional massage this evening with Anthony. The way he methodically untied each knot in my back and removed it was extraordinary. He applied exactly the right amount of pressure and found muscles I didn't even know existed. From the last-minute scheduling flexibility to the communication before my session to the beautiful studio environment to the massage itself — everything was flawless. I'm definitely coming back.
Anthony is very professional and provided a wonderful massage. I felt very relaxed and comfortable throughout. Definitely great value for the cost.
Anthony is an excellent masseur. I always look forward to his sessions. I see him at least once a month. He has great strength and does an outstanding job of breaking down all the knots and tension in my body. I've lost a lot of weight through exercise and his massage is the perfect remedy for the soreness. He's a beautiful person inside and out — kind, gentle, caring and yet incredibly strong. Treat yourself to a perfect massage experience with him.
I've been going to Anthony for the past few months and he's one of my favorite therapists. I love his focus on detail, his attentiveness during the session, the extras like the scrub included in 90-minute bookings, and his caring nature. His rates are very fair and he's available when I need him. I love seeing Anthony and can't wait for my next appointment.
Anthony was extremely kind and focused on my massage needs. He paid attention to my sore spots and was constantly attentive since I was new to deep tissue work. I can't wait to book with him again soon.
A massage from Antonio takes you to a space of calm and peace while giving you the kinds of movements you'd experience listening to a symphony. His technique and touch can be fast and energetic, gentle and deep, slow and lyrical, like an active dance or a walk beside a quiet stream.
Absolutely the best massage therapist experience I've had. Antonio is kind, attentive, and beautiful inside and out. From the moment I arrived, he greeted me with a warm and grounding energy. The massage was perfect. He focused on all the knots in my posterior legs and shoulders and made sure to check that everything felt good. If he's in your city, don't miss the chance to book.
Just got back from a massage with Anthony and it was hands down the best massage I've ever had. I walked in with tight neck muscles and serious lower back pain. He instinctively found knots and problems I had and loosened everything up. I'm now completely pain-free. Anthony is warm, friendly, personable, very handsome, and has incredible strength. His photos don't capture how great he really is. I'm already planning another trip to Chicago soon.
Great massage with Anthony. The pressure was perfect and he kept checking that everything felt good. He zeroed in on my tight spots and I felt much better afterward. I'd recommend him highly.
I've gotten many massages from Anthony and he's one of the few I keep going back to. He's consistent, strong, and caring. His setup is comfortable and he's very flexible. You won't be let down by his massage.
The first time Anthony massaged me I was very impressed. He really understands the human body and how muscle and tissue work together. He knows the right technique and when and where to apply pressure. Since that first session I've had over 12 more massages with him. When he's done I feel very relaxed and much better overall. I'd highly recommend him.
The massage I got from Anthony was fantastic. He's a professional who did excellent work. I'm so glad I decided to get the massage — it made my Las Vegas visit even better. Thank you so much, Anthony.
I've been a client of Anthony's for two years and he's a true professional who delivers an excellent massage in a welcoming space. I'm a long-term martial artist and my body takes regular hits. He's very adaptable to whatever new ache I have and goes above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable. After each session I feel restored. Besides being an excellent therapist, he's also a genuine and kind person.
Anthony is one of the best masseurs I've encountered. He's very thorough and makes adjustments to match your comfort level perfectly. The massage was totally relaxing when we finished. I always fall asleep after getting a massage from Anthony because I'm so relaxed. Thank you, Anthony.
Anthony is one of the best massage therapists and trainers I've met and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a wonderful, relaxing massage or additional physical therapy. He can help you with any body soreness and will also suggest ways to improve your overall health, strength, and fitness while sharing ideas and goals for a healthier diet. Anthony is the real deal. His greatest strength is his kindness and gentleness as he works hard to check in and make sure you're comfortable whether you're on his table or working out together.
I wasn't sure about booking with Anthony given no reviews at the time, but we talked and I had a good sense about him and the work. I was right. He did excellent work. I like deep pressure and for someone his size, he definitely delivered. He had the right balance across everything from head to toe, including working on the feet like most therapists skip. Great massage and I'll definitely go back.
Saw Anthony's profile while in Chicago and decided to book, and I'm very glad I did. He's genuinely nice and has real skill with massage. His technique released all the knots in my scapula and the tension in my lower back. The oils and lotions he uses are excellent quality. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Chicago.
Anthony's deep tissue work is outstanding. He located every single knot I wasn't even aware of and worked through them systematically. After just one session, my sciatica pain has improved significantly. Highly recommend if you want serious therapeutic results.
After a couple of my own scheduling mistakes, I finally booked with Antonio. I've had massages before but Antonio is without question the best I've ever experienced. He's warm, gentle, strong, and attractive. His space is upscale and immaculate. The atmosphere was ideal. He kept checking to make sure I was comfortable. If you want that mix of relaxation and therapeutic work, Antonio has it perfected. It was flawless. Great session and thank you for hitting all the right spots and getting rid of all my tension, even the tension I didn't know I was carrying.
Reached out to Anthony a few days ago and he responded immediately. I had to reschedule and he got back to me right away and worked with my schedule. When we met, we talked through what kind of massage I was looking for. Anthony ranks among the best massage therapists I've ever experienced. His touch is excellent and he checked in during the work to confirm I was comfortable. His space is very clean, the sound was perfect, and the table is super comfortable. Anthony is welcoming, warm, and has a gift for helping clients feel at ease. The price point is fair and you get every minute you book. I had a 90-minute session and it was perfect. Anthony has earned a repeat client.
Got an amazing 90-minute massage from Anthony, who was visiting Chicago from Tampa, Florida. From start to finish he was fantastic. I love deep pressure and a massage therapist who can find all your sore spots and leave you feeling restored. Very professional. The massage began with a massage gun technique that relaxed and activated my body all at once. After 10 minutes he applied warm oil and used hot stones, which was incredible. If you book 90 minutes you'll feel like you've hit the jackpot.
Met with Anthony while visiting Chicago last night and it was fantastic. I'd found his profile weeks before my trip and booked in advance. It couldn't have gone better. Anthony showed up on time and was very professional as he set up. The massage started with perfect pressure and his hands moved continuously over my body. It felt wonderful and I just relaxed and let his skilled hands do their work all over me. Every word written about Anthony in the reviews is accurate. I can't wait for my next session.
Booked another bodywork session and felt immediate relief. The care he brought to my pain and the stress I've been holding in my back left me walking differently. He was incredibly kind in person and kept checking in to see if the pressure felt right or if I was experiencing any discomfort. I never had to ask for changes because he seemed to know exactly what I needed in each moment. His awareness of my body's needs was spot-on. He checked in multiple times about pressure and adjusted as needed. There's this cool technique he does right along the spine that felt amazing. The background music he played was soothing and helped me relax. His presence is calm and confident without any arrogance, which made me feel secure and cared for. I felt completely respected and would recommend him to anyone.
Anthony definitely takes excellent care of his clients. He was prompt in responding to my texts and I got an appointment right away. When I arrived, he welcomed me with a warm smile and offered the bathroom. He had relaxing music playing and the room was dimmed to set the mood. Once the massage began, I went straight into deep relaxation mode. His hands felt like magic on my body. The pressure was perfect and I ended up dozing off. He checked in throughout to make sure I was okay and even brought me water halfway through, which was very thoughtful. I didn't want the session to end. We had a nice conversation afterward to finish. Don't pass up a chance to get a massage from him. He's very kind and flexible. His studio is spotless and comfortable. He's also very attractive. I'm excited for my next appointment.
Very skilled at working through knots and pressure points. If you want deep pressure, he'll deliver it. If you like those deeper massage experiences where it has a therapeutic ache like I do, he's your person. He texted back quickly, set clear expectations, and gave an excellent massage. He's a professional serious about delivering quality work.
Anthony is one of the best massage therapists ever. His technique is quite different from what others do. He does amazing body scrubs, includes light stretching, and is very focused on making sure your session is top quality. Thanks.
Had one of the best massages of my life here, which totally surprised me. I usually go to a spa or resort but my back hurt and I needed to get in fast. I normally have low expectations about independent massage therapists but was very pleasantly shocked. The body scrub wasn't something I usually love but he did it with warm towels on my back, which was wonderful. I don't think I'd want to try another massage therapy place around. His rates are also reasonable and don't break the bank. I'd recommend Anthony to anyone.
Hemasseur's Take
Across his client reviews, Anthony is consistently praised for his ability to locate and methodically release deep knots in the back, shoulders, and legs — often knots clients didn't even know they had — combined with noticeable pain relief, particularly for sciatica and lower back tension. His studio is described as clean and peaceful, his presence as calm and trustworthy, and his communication attentive; he checks in frequently about pressure and makes real-time adjustments without being asked.
Clients also highlight that he delivers serious therapeutic depth when requested while maintaining a relaxing, respectful atmosphere — a balance many note is difficult to find. His mobile service, competitive rates, and willingness to accommodate scheduling needs have earned him a pattern of repeat bookings and strong loyalty across both in-studio and in-home appointments.
