About

Twenty-two years of hands-on work with clients in Providence has taught me what actually works. I graduated from the Muscular Therapy Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and I've spent more than two decades listening carefully to bodies—understanding what each person needs before they even fully know themselves.

I run a judgment-free studio on Providence's east side, close to Routes 95 and 195. This is a space where you can be exactly who you are. Whether you identify however you do, you'll find respect and real professional care here. My work isn't one-size-fits-all massage. Before you step onto the heated table, we talk. I ask about your life, your stress, your pain, the pressure you want. That conversation matters because it tells me where to focus, how deep to go, what your nervous system needs that day.

I blend techniques across the spectrum—acupressure, trigger point, deep tissue, shiatsu, Thai, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and others. Some days you'll want serious deep work to break up knots that've been locked for months. Other days you need something gentler, something that lets your whole system slow down. I listen and adjust.

You won't feel rushed. The heated table is waiting. Text me to introduce yourself and set up a time. Same-day appointments might not be there, but I'm quick to reply and I keep plenty of availability. I also offer physical therapy guidance and yoga instruction if you want support between sessions.

Testimonials

Anthony's in-studio space feels like a tropical retreat, and his massage style makes each visit feel like a mini getaway. He listens intently and adjusts his pressure to meet each person's needs, keeping the conversation relaxed and anxiety-easing throughout. The studio is immaculate, with gentle lighting and eucalyptus scent that puts you at ease right away. His deep tissue work is precise and gentle at the same time, and my shoulders felt completely free of tension after weeks of tightness. Scheduling is flexible and he's always on time. I walk out of every session feeling refreshed and thankful for his healing touch. I'd absolutely recommend him.

March 12, 2026 · Providence, RI · in-studio

I've been a massage therapist for 20 years and I'm hard to impress when trying someone new that a colleague recommends. Anthony is professional and confident, with seasoned technique and nuanced, fully connected touch. He was completely silent during the massage but said everything with his hands and presence. The pressure was always exactly right. His hands knew where to go at all times. He found spots on my body that needed work—places I didn't even know were out of balance. Everything felt precisely correct. He gave me a massage I didn't know I needed so badly, one that went beyond my already high expectations. I was impressed and deeply grateful for the spiritual and giving nature of his bodywork. Anthony is the real deal and a great bodyworker. He's the best I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing, something I don't say lightly. I recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a truly gifted massage professional.

Anthony was absolutely great. I travel a lot for work and I'm always hunting for a really good massage to help me unwind. I set up my appointment with him about a week ahead. He met me at the door with a firm handshake and warm smile. I felt welcome and comfortable immediately. His massage space was spotless and tidy, which I always look for. I wanted deep tissue and he delivered perfectly. After just a few strokes on my back, I could tell this was going to be one of the best massages I've ever had, and it was. His hands are remarkably strong and he's completely professional. My 90 minutes flew by. I loved the hot towels, soft music, heated table, and overall feel of the space. I'm going to book twice a month now.

Hemasseur's Take

Across hundreds of sessions, Anthony's clients consistently report that his intuitive understanding of the body—combined with his refusal to rush and his willingness to customize sessions around individual needs—produces relief that goes beyond what they've experienced elsewhere. From chronic shoulder knots and whiplash recovery to lower back pain and myofascial issues, clients describe feeling heard, cared for, and genuinely healed rather than simply massaged.

Many clients also note that his studio environment—spotless, warm, with a heated table and soft lighting—contributes meaningfully to their sense of safety and relaxation. Regular clients and first-time visitors alike report booking repeat sessions and recommending him extensively, with several credentialed massage therapists themselves calling him among the best they've ever experienced.
