About

Eighteen years of hands-on practice in New Orleans has taught me what bodies really need. I've watched clients come in tight, guarded, exhausted — and leave feeling like themselves again. That's what keeps me showing up every day.

I graduated from Blue Cliff Massage Therapy College in Metairie back in 2008, and I've spent nearly two decades refining what I do best: releasing tension that settles into the shoulders, upper back, lower back, glutes, and legs. My practice blends Swedish massage, deep tissue work, Thai bodywork with sports stretching, salt scrubs, and detox foot baths. I read each person's body and adjust my pressure — strong, medium, or light — to match exactly what you need that day.

My studio sits right here in the historic Marigny French Quarter area, conveniently located and easy to reach. I'm open 7 days a week, 8 a.m. to midnight, and I keep a flexible schedule because I know life doesn't fit into standard hours. You'll find bottled water, a shower, free parking, and a space designed to help you drop the weight you've been carrying.

I also offer mobile massage throughout New Orleans and surrounding areas within 25 miles — I come to you when that works better. Thai stretching and compression work are especially powerful for increasing your range of motion and flexibility. Salt scrub bodywork exfoliates dead skin, keeps your skin healthy, and leaves it smooth like silk. I welcome everyone — any orientation, any race, any body type, any gender. You're safe here, and you're cared for. Call or text is the fastest way to reach me.

Testimonials

First time with a male therapist and I couldn't have been happier. I came for massage and salt scrub but added Thai stretching once I was there. Chris paid close attention to what I needed and made me feel secure throughout. I walked out feeling peaceful. I'm definitely coming back.

A really excellent massage that blended several different techniques in a way that felt intuitive and natural. Christopher understood right away where my body needed the most help and worked through it skillfully. The salt scrub was new to me but now my skin feels noticeably better.

Jan. 10, 2015 · New Orleans, LA · in-studio

Chris gave me a fantastic two-hour session. The Thai stretching really helped my lower back, shoulders, and legs release all that tightness. After the salt scrub, my skin felt incredibly smooth. The whole experience left me feeling refreshed and much better.

FAQ

How much does deep tissue massage cost in New Orleans?

Deep tissue massage at my New Orleans studio starts at $100 for 60 minutes or $140 for 90 minutes. Mobile deep tissue is $150 for 60 minutes or $190 for 90 minutes. I adjust pressure based on what your body needs that day.

Is there a mobile massage therapist serving New Orleans?

Yes, I offer mobile massage throughout New Orleans and surrounding areas within a 25-mile radius. I bring music and a full massage experience to your home or office, with rates starting at $150 for 60 minutes.

What's the best massage for lower back pain in New Orleans?

Deep tissue combined with Thai stretching works exceptionally well for lower back tension. Thai bodywork compresses your energy lines and increases range of motion, while deep tissue releases the muscle knots themselves. Several clients have reported relief in the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings after my sessions.

Do you offer same-day appointments in New Orleans?

I keep a flexible schedule and am open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to midnight, so same-day appointments are often possible. Call or text me directly — that's the fastest way to check availability.

What is Thai massage good for?

Thai massage uses stretching and compression of your energy lines to increase flexibility, range of motion, and mobility. It's especially helpful if you're looking to loosen tight muscles and improve how your body moves.

What's a salt scrub body treatment?

Salt scrub bodywork exfoliates dead skin cells, maintains healthy skin texture, and leaves your skin smooth and refreshed. It's deeply relaxing and often combined with massage for a complete spa-quality experience.

Do you take cash or card in New Orleans?

I accept cash and PayPal. Call or text to book and confirm payment method.

What amenities does your New Orleans studio have?

My studio offers heated massage tables, hot towels, bottled water, a private restroom with shower, soothing music, and free parking. Everything is set up to help you relax completely.
