About

Thirty-six years of hands-on work in massage therapy have taught me one clear thing: pressure matters, but communication matters more. I've spent nearly four decades learning how to listen to what your body is telling me and adjust my approach so that the work actually sticks. You get genuine relief, not just a pleasant hour.

I trained at the Health Enrichment Center in Flint, Michigan, earning my certificate in 1990. Since then, I've worked with clients across a wide range of needs. Whether it's deep tissue work on a knotted back, trigger point release for stubborn shoulder tension, myofascial work, acupressure, or sports massage, I blend these techniques based on what your muscles need right now. I listen to your feedback during the session and adjust the pressure and focus accordingly.

My studio in Ann Arbor is set up for your comfort. You'll have a clean, quiet space with a shower, fresh towels, and soap if you want to freshen up before or after your massage. Free parking, cold water, and a private restroom are all here. I also bring my massage table directly to your home or hotel throughout metro Detroit. I serve Ann Arbor, the airport area, Belleville, Canton, and the broader metro Detroit region with mobile sessions.

Safety and inclusion matter to me. I'm fully vaccinated against Covid and Monkeypox. Everyone walks through that door—regardless of sexual orientation, age, body shape, or appearance. Men of all backgrounds are welcome here. My job is to help you feel better, and I take that seriously.

Testimonials

David really zeroes in on the spots that are bothering you. His three-plus decades in the field show clearly when he works on problem areas like the back. He draws from various massage styles, which makes a real difference. What stands out most is how he checks in with you and changes his technique to match what you need. I consistently walk out feeling like the session hit the mark.

David is an excellent massage therapist. He's soft-spoken, calm, and incredibly knowledgeable about his work. His stress relief sessions, which I had regularly, were extremely effective, especially after long flights. The Berkeley studio felt welcoming and was easy to get to.
