About
Strathmore has a quiet, beautiful edge — right there in front of Hiawatha Lake, where my studio sits with easy parking and a view that already starts the unwinding process. I moved to Syracuse from South Florida, and after four years serving in the US Marine Corps, I discovered that working with people's bodies in deep, meaningful ways felt like the right calling. That was 13 years ago.
I've spent those years learning what each person who walks through my door actually needs. Deep tissue, sports massage, Swedish — I know all of it, but I don't apply the same pressure or rhythm to everyone. Your body's talking to me the moment you lie down on the table, and I listen. I adjust.
What really sets my practice apart is the four-hand tandem massage. It's exhilarating — two sets of hands working in sync, covering more ground, creating a depth of relief that one therapist alone just can't reach. I offer it right here in the studio, and I also bring it to you if you want the experience at home.
My studio is clean, private, and welcoming. All are welcome — men, women, straight clients, LGBTQ community. There's no judgment on my table, period. Just solid work and the kind of care I'd want if the roles were reversed. If you've served, I offer military discounts. Cash and Zelle both work for me.

Testimonials
When I first moved to Miami, I booked an appointment with Mikal. The studio itself is serene and immaculate, but what really impressed me was his hands — they're incredible at what they do. I'm definitely coming back.
My first session with Mikal was excellent from the moment he opened the door with a warm smile. He explained his cleaning and sanitization process, which I really appreciated. The quality of his massage work is outstanding, and his hands have real power behind them. I walked out completely at ease and refreshed. I'm planning to return and would happily recommend him to others.
As a new arrival in Miami, I decided to book a full hour with Mikal. His hands are both strong and truly skilled, which is exactly what I needed. He's earned a return visit for sure.
