About
Working with deep tissue, trigger point, and myofascial release, I've learned that the body tells a story if you know how to listen. After eleven years of practice in Boston, I've developed a touch that reads muscle memory the way some people read faces—knowing exactly when to apply pressure and when to ease back, when to hold space and when to move through.
I started in bodywork and physical therapy, and over time I realized that the most transformative sessions happen when you blend technique with intuition. That's why I weave in knowledge from yoga, martial arts, reiki, and shiatsu alongside the clinical side of massage. When a client comes in tight from travel or sport, I'm not just working knots out of muscle—I'm helping their nervous system remember what ease feels like.
My practice is in a private, safe home setting in Charlestown, and I work with clients across the Boston area, both in-studio and mobile. I've built my reputation especially working with male clients and members of the LGBTQ community who want to feel fully at ease on the table. Athletes come to me for mobility and injury prevention. People dealing with chronic tension or recovery come because the benefits don't stop when the session ends—they often continue for days. The feedback I get most is that time dissolves during a session; people are surprised when we're done because it felt shorter than the clock says.
I keep my hours open and flexible, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, because I know that real life doesn't fit neatly into a schedule. I encourage you to read reviews before booking—they speak far more honestly about what the experience is actually like than anything I could say.

Testimonials
Luke is exceptional. His technical skill matches the best therapists I've encountered in elite spas across Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Bangkok during my years as a senior executive. He reads the body with precision, knowing exactly when to press deeply and when to lighten his touch. He understands how sport stresses shoulders, hips, forearms, and lower back, and works strategically on recovery and injury prevention. Every session feels purposeful and specific, never generic. Beyond the physical skill, he brings a grounded, warm energy that's impossible to manufacture. You leave not only physically restored but mentally lighter. After decades of seeking top therapists worldwide, I can confidently say he's the finest I've ever worked with.
Luke is a genuine healer with experience, strong intuition, and impressive strength. He draws on deep knowledge without going on autopilot, actively adjusting to what you need. He automatically finds problem areas without you having to point them out. He's also a great conversationalist. I've seen dozens of therapists, chiropractors, and other practitioners, and he's the one I keep returning to. He's ideal for athletes, people with chronic conditions or injuries, and anyone seeking truly distinctive, outstanding therapeutic bodywork.
Luke is professional, talented, compassionate, and remarkably strong. His understanding of the body is exceptional and comes through clearly in every session. He connects with you on emotional and spiritual levels as well. Sessions are pure comfort: no awkwardness, no uncertainty, no discomfort. Everything happens as promised, never rushed, always accommodating with schedule changes. His pricing matches his skill level. Every session is always the highlight of my day.
I had an excellent deep tissue massage with Luke following days of travel with lots of tension and knots throughout my body. He worked through all of them with skill and precision. He was incredibly personable and put me completely at ease during the experience. Setting up the appointment was simple, and Luke was responsive and willing to work with my schedule. The massage was so good that I immediately booked another session four days later. Highly recommend Luke for deep tissue massage that leaves you feeling completely refreshed.
I spent a year searching for a massage therapist in the Boston area and finally found Luke. Over the past three months, I've seen him 2-3 times monthly. He's always professional, courteous, and quick to respond to texts. He makes extra time available and does outstanding work. I've noticed significant improvement in my upper and lower back pain since starting with him. His studio is quiet, clean, and peaceful. He identifies my pain points effectively and communicates throughout each session. He handles conversation gracefully whether I'm chatty or quiet. I highly recommend booking with him.
Outstanding work blending passion, healing, and kindness into one experience. I've had many massages while traveling internationally, and this was completely different. His impressive strength and pacing stayed exactly right for the entire 90 minutes. His work on the forearms, legs, and glutes was especially strong—techniques I haven't experienced elsewhere. I felt lighter, more grounded, and slept wonderfully for days afterward. The effect was healing on both a physical and mental level.
Luke was a fantastic find in Boston. He's a master of his craft, with techniques combined with knowledge of how the body works and considerable strength that deliver a next-level massage. His kindness, intelligence, and friendly personality make it even better. His studio is warm, inviting, and plays calming music that supports breathing and meditation, adding another dimension of relaxation to the treatment. If you want a masseur who genuinely takes time to ensure you feel better when you leave, Luke is your choice.
I've seen Luke multiple times over several months and found the perfect massage therapist. He made me feel comfortable from the start and leaves me stress-free after every session. His technique is consistent and he's always attentive to my most troubled areas. He remembers exactly where my tension sits and works those spots better than any other therapist I've worked with. I've found my permanent therapist and hope he stays in the Boston area.
