About
My training at Robertson College in Winnipeg from 2022 to 2023 gave me a foundation in anatomy and technique, but over a decade of hands-on work with real clients in Kansas City and beyond taught me what actually works. I've learned that every body tells a story, and my job is to listen carefully—whether through the pressure of a deep tissue stroke or the intuitive stretch of Thai massage.
I blend Swedish, Deep Tissue, and traditional Thai techniques to create sessions that are exactly what you need on that particular day. For those who need stronger, more targeted work, I use advanced techniques like knee work and standing massage with my feet to access deeper muscle layers that hands alone often can't reach. This approach is especially effective for releasing chronic tension that's been locked in your shoulders, hips, or lower back.
Whether you're training for a race, recovering from an injury, managing stress, or just need to feel at home in your body again, I design each session around your goals and comfort level. I serve Kansas City and surrounding areas both in my studio and through mobile sessions within a 10-mile radius.
I welcome everyone and take pride in creating a respectful, inclusive, and judgment-free space—especially for the gay and LGBT community. My priority is helping you feel safe, grounded, and fully at ease. All my photos are 100% authentic—no AI, no Photoshop, no filters. What you see is exactly who you'll be working with.

Testimonials
An excellent session with extremely professional and skilled technique. His understanding of pressure and body mechanics was outstanding, and everything felt well trained and intentional from beginning to end. He's also very tall at 6'2" with a strong presence that puts you at ease right away. Highly recommend and will book again.
His technique was excellent and he was professional and attentive throughout. He also looks better in person than the photos. His methods were soothing and the spa atmosphere added to the overall relaxation. I highly recommend.
I requested him to come massage me at my home in the suburbs for the third time on his travels through. He was punctual as usual and brought all the necessities to perform the massage at my place. Overall, I am extremely satisfied. He is professional and has a great sense of humor. Not everyone gets my jokes. Money well spent.
The best massage I have had. He is extremely skilled and knows exactly what pressure to provide. After not having a massage for almost five months, this was exactly what I needed. I felt bad for him because my shoulders were so tight and knotted that it caused him to really dig deep. I will definitely see him again.
The first time I met him I went to get a massage at his location. No exaggeration, he gave me the best massage I've had in a long time. His price was a little higher for the Houston market but I was completely satisfied with the results. I went with a very sore back and neck and his hands were like magic. Not only did I feel relief during the massage but also after. I have a job where I have to talk a lot and deal with people. I want to thank you for understanding that I wanted silence and for the great ambiance and relaxing music. I asked him to come to my house a second time and he was punctual and everything was as wonderful as the first massage. I am planning to see him again when he returns to Houston.
Great seeing you again last night. Thank you for coming over on short notice to help with my sprained leg. It feels so much better today. My back needed that extra deep tissue massage too. You use your knees so effortlessly. I definitely feel a connection with you. Safe travels and I look forward to seeing you on your next visit.
From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. He's warm, intuitive, and creates a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The massage never felt rushed, and everything was thoughtful and naturally paced. I left feeling lighter and grounded, very glad I booked. There's something about his energy that stays with you.
I was under a lot of stress so I set up a massage with him. It turned out to be a decision that changed my week around, maybe even my month. Every moment was a calming delight. He has a genuine, positive energy that sets things right while you're with him. I'm glad we met and hope to see him again soon.
I had the incredible pleasure of experiencing his massages and must say it was outstanding. From the moment he arrived at my home, I felt peace envelop me. His skilled hands worked their magic, relieving tension and stress with every stroke. His intuitive understanding of the body was remarkable as he effortlessly targeted knots and sore spots. The combination of techniques, from soothing Swedish to deep tissue, left me feeling rejuvenated and balanced. His calming presence and nurturing demeanor created a safe space for complete relaxation. Days later, I still feel the benefits of his therapeutic touch. He is a true master of his craft and I wholeheartedly recommend his massages to anyone seeking an exceptional experience.
A fantastic massage experience with just the right pressure throughout. He was incredibly polite and clearly possesses great skill as a masseur. He also has a subtle charm that adds to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend.
The massage was relaxing and relieved all my tension. I left feeling refreshed and stress-free. Highly recommend.
Thank you for that amazing massage. Please come back to San Diego more often, we need a professional like you in the area. Safe travels to Vegas.
Andre gives the absolute best massages. His hands work magic, and after a session I feel so relaxed and like a completely new person. He's super friendly and makes you feel comfortable the whole time. If you need a great massage, he's your guy.
I wanted to say thank you again. I really enjoyed meeting you and the conversation was nice as well. That was a great massage. I don't think I have ever felt this good after a massage before. I think I will feel this good even tomorrow. Have a wonderful trip.
I needed serious bodywork before running a half marathon and received something completely new to me. His stretching and deep knee work released tension I didn't realize I was holding. I felt looser and race-ready, and went on to complete my half marathon strong and without pain.
He provided me with the best sports deep tissue massage I have received. It is hard to find someone who can give a full 90 minutes of deep tissue massage without fatiguing toward the end. I like to converse during the massage and he was very eloquent on a range of topics. He is very fascinating.
I recently had the pleasure of a massage and needed someone strong with good technique, and he did not disappoint. His massage was just as good as one you'd get at a five-star hotel or spa. He's very welcoming and made me feel comfortable from beginning to end. Very clean room and perfect setup. I will definitely return.
I wanted to say thanks for the wonderful massage. My legs and neck are feeling much better today. Have a great stay and I look forward to seeing you next time.
I had one of the best massages of my life, which really surprised me. I typically go to a spa or resort for massages but my back was hurting and I needed to get in quickly. I had low expectations but was very pleasantly surprised. He clearly understands the human body, muscle, and tissue, and knows how to massage correctly with proper pressure applied at the right times and places. Treat yourself to the perfect massage experience with him.
Exceptional massage work using forearms, hands, and fingers to target specific areas with exactly the right pressure. I felt the tension melt away during the session. Highly recommend.
His massage combines long, soothing strokes with precise, targeted short movements. His skillful use of forearms, fingers, and hands is tailored to each muscle, creating a unique and highly effective technique that left me thoroughly relaxed and rejuvenated.
My back feels so much better now. I truly enjoyed your standing massage. I raved to my boyfriend about your massage and he was jealous and wants to book with you too. I have a stressful job and sit at the office a lot. I truly loved your knee massage on my glutes and legs.
After two years away, he's finally back and his massages are just as excellent as ever. I've been waiting a long time for this, and it was absolutely worth it. He's the best at what he does. Highly recommend.
The massage was exactly what I needed, combining deep tissue work and stretching that loosened muscles I didn't even know were tight. I walked out feeling lighter, relaxed, and significantly more flexible. Highly recommend.

FAQ
How much does deep tissue massage cost in Kansas City?
Deep tissue massage in Kansas City starts at $190 for a 60-minute studio session or $230 for mobile service. Ninety-minute sessions are $270 in studio and $310 for mobile appointments within a 10-mile radius of Kansas City.
What massage technique is best for chronic muscle tension?
Deep tissue combined with advanced techniques like knee work and standing massage using feet access deeper layers that hands alone often cannot reach. This approach is especially effective for releasing long-held tension in the shoulders, hips, and lower back.
Do you offer mobile massage in Kansas City?
Yes, I provide mobile massage throughout Kansas City and surrounding areas within a 10-mile radius. I bring my own massage table and all necessary equipment, so you can enjoy a therapeutic session in the comfort of your home.
Is same-day booking available in Kansas City?
I operate seven days a week from midnight to midnight, which means availability is very flexible. Contact me directly to check same-day openings based on your location in Kansas City.
What makes Thai massage different from deep tissue?
Thai massage uses rhythmic pressure and assisted stretching to open energy lines and improve flexibility, while deep tissue targets specific knots and tension with sustained pressure. I blend both techniques in the same session to give you relaxation, release, and improved range of motion.
Do you work with athletes or sports recovery?
Yes, I specialize in sports massage and have worked with clients preparing for races and recovering from training. Deep tissue, stretching, and knee work help release tension you didn't even know you had, so you can move stronger and pain-free.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash, PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle. Choose whatever works best for you.
