About
Over 24 years of hands-on massage work has taught me something simple: the body remembers when you listen to it. I've spent more than two decades learning how to find the knots and tension that other therapists miss, understanding what pressure works best for different bodies, and knowing when to go deep and when to ease back. That experience shows up in every session.
I work out of my studio in Middletown, Ohio, where I've built a quiet, comfortable space with a heated table, soft music, and clean air. I also travel throughout the region, serving Middletown and surrounding areas within a 25-mile radius, so I can meet clients where they need me. Most of my work is with fit, athletic guys who understand that good massage takes skill, and who come back because they feel the difference.
I focus on Swedish massage for relaxation and recovery, paired with deep tissue and sports techniques when the body needs it. I'll work your neck, shoulders, back, arms, legs, and hips—wherever you're holding stress or pain. Head work too. And I screen every client beforehand with a few questions. That's not about being difficult; it's about making sure we're a good fit and you get what you're looking for.
Discretion is built into how I work. You'll feel safe and respected in my space. Text me to set something up. That's the fastest way to reach me and lock in a time that works.

Testimonials
I arrived at Chris's room a bit early and he was able to accommodate me. I've never experienced that level of peace and quiet during a massage, not even from the therapists my wife books. His deep tissue, trigger point work, and the head and neck massage were excellent. I'm very muscular and solid, so Chris actually went over the hour. He really knows his craft and I'd recommend him to any young sports enthusiast. He was professional and respected all boundaries. I'll be a repeat customer every time he's in town.
I texted Chris about my muscular issues and he asked me several questions beforehand, which I was fine with. I stopped by his room on my way home from the gym. He was pleasant, kind, and considerate. I was nervous at first because I'm married, but he put me at ease right away. He started on my neck and shoulders, then did a full body massage and had a real talent for finding the sore spots and knots. I was worried my muscular build would be an issue since some therapists can't go deep enough, but that wasn't a problem. I left very relaxed, rejuvenated, and happy. I'll be a repeat customer.
I got exactly what I was looking for. My tight hamstrings and glutes from college track were the problem. Chris is experienced in all areas of massage work. It's pricey but worth every dollar, and I'm a repeat client for life. He's also very discreet, which I appreciated. I felt at home and comfortable throughout the session.
Beautiful office with great ambiance in the massage room. I drove from Oxford where I'm in school. Chris provided clear directions. I was a little nervous at first, but he was calming and put me at ease. My lower back, neck, shoulders, and hamstrings felt amazing afterward. I didn't know massage could be this good for your body. I'll be back.
I texted Chris and he got back to me shortly with an opening that worked. He got me in within a few hours, right after my college track practice. I arrived to a comfortable setting. He got right down to work on my shin splints and lower back. I booked the 90-minute session. When I left, my shins and lower back were no longer in pain. I'll see him again when he's back in town. I recommend any athlete to go—you won't regret it.
I go to university in Burlington and texted Chris in the morning. He got back to me a few hours later and we set up an appointment. I'm a swimmer and was sore all over. Chris delivered. I liked his pressure and Swedish technique. He went deep where needed with true deep tissue work and did some light stretching. I'll be a client for life, every time he visits. I left happy, stress-free, and satisfied. I drove 20 miles and it was absolutely worth it.
Chris fit me in on short notice. When I arrived at the hotel, the room was dim with soothing music playing. I explained that my back and legs were sore from wrestling practice, and he got straight to work on my back and neck first, then moved to the front and back of my legs. I left with every knot, stress ball, and kink released from my body. I'll definitely be back when he's in Columbus again. I highly recommend him to other college athletes like myself. He's got real talent with his hands.
I was a few minutes early and blown away by the decor and homey feeling of his office. Chris brought me back to the massage room and I couldn't believe the setup—bottled water, a heated table, and soft music. He started on my heated table and used multiple techniques on my lower back. He stretched my piriformis on both sides and that alone fixed the issue I was having. I was so grateful I actually got emotional. I went to bed and woke up feeling like a new person. He's worth every penny. I paid $150 in cash and it was well worth it. I'll be back in two weeks.
I'm a repeat client. I drove from Miami University to Middletown and was a bit early, but Chris got me right in. Very soothing and comfortable office. The heated massage table felt great on my back. I'm a track runner for school and had chronic hamstring issues on my right leg. Chris stretched them out and did deep tissue work on my lower back, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. After 90 minutes, I felt amazing. My hamstrings haven't bothered or tightened up in two weeks. Chris knows what he's doing and I'll continue seeing him twice a week until I graduate. I highly recommend any student athlete who needs good sports massage.
I texted Chris and he got me in last minute on my way home from work. I arrived at his space a few minutes early—very relaxing atmosphere. I booked a 90-minute session because an hour isn't long enough for my build. Chris is an excellent therapist and found all my trigger points without any trouble. His pressure was perfect and he used several different massage techniques on me. This was my first time with a male therapist and I'll definitely be a regular when he's in town. He's much better than the therapist my wife books.
Excellent session, every bit worth the money. If you're fit and work out, Chris is your guy. It totally helped my back and legs after a long run. I'll definitely be back.
I arrived at Chris's hotel room a few minutes early. The setting was personalized with ocean waves on the TV. I got a therapeutic and deep tissue combo. As a swimmer, I use every muscle daily in the college pool. Chris's pressure and technique throughout felt amazing. He finds the tight spots and knots and is really good at making them disappear. I'd definitely recommend him to any athlete needing a good massage. I felt amazing after and the days following were great too.
This was my third visit to Chris and I wasn't disappointed again. Playing college soccer takes a toll on your muscles and body. Swedish massage is what my muscles need and Chris always delivers. His bodywork and skilled hands always leave me stress-free and energized. It's the fastest 60 minutes ever. Worth every penny and more. I feel comfortable and at ease with him. If he's in your town, give him a try. I was hesitant on my first visit but so glad I did. I'll definitely be back when he's in town again.
I met Chris at his hotel room. Good atmosphere. He gave me a relaxing massage and got all my knots and tension out. He's very skilled at what he does. I'll come back when he's in town again. He did ask screening questions, which I was happy to answer.
I arrived 10 minutes early with no issue. I explained where I was experiencing pain and tightness in my lower back and shoulders from playing college baseball three times a week. Chris went over a massage plan with me. He's very skilled and hit trigger points I didn't even know were there. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I'll definitely book again when he's in town. I'd highly recommend him to my fellow athletes.
I showed up at Chris's hotel a few minutes early. The room was calm with soft music and a waterfall on the TV. I got a full hour massage. As a college cyclist, Chris focused on my legs and lower back and spent some time on my upper neck. I felt incredible when I left. I'll be back for sure.
When I got to Chris's hotel room there was soothing music playing and the temperature was really comfortable. My 90-minute session made it clear right from the start that I found the right person. My neck, shoulders, and back have never felt better. He has genuinely gifted hands. I'll definitely return when he comes back to town and I highly recommend anyone seeking first-class massage to reach out. I appreciated the military discount as well.
I finished track practice and saw that Chris was in my area. He got me in within 3 hours. After I showered, I went to his hotel for the massage. Great atmosphere and music. I got 90 minutes. His therapy skills are top-notch—he found all the hot trigger points and worked out the lactic acid from my muscles. I left feeling so much better than when I arrived. At 5'11" and 170 pounds, he spent extra time on my neck and legs. I'll be back when he's in town. I highly recommend him.
Chris gives a massage that's gentle but deep and strong, relieving muscle tension and tightness while bringing back energy.
