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.
Serving Providence and surrounding areas, both in studio and mobile within five miles.

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.
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.
Anthony is my go-to massage therapist in Providence and the surrounding areas. His space is spacious, clean, and very professional. He takes real time to understand your needs, what areas to focus on, and what strength of touch you're looking for. He's strong and delivers an excellent deep tissue massage mixed with both sensory work and long flowing strokes. Throughout the session he checks in to make sure everything feels right. His stretching techniques mixed with the massage leave you feeling like a completely different person. He's friendly, kind, and genuinely cares about his clients' wellbeing. The whole experience—from the music to the massage itself to the products on your skin—was excellent. I highly recommend Anthony. You won't be disappointed.
Anthony gave me a great massage. My lower back and hip were stiff and painful. He got me very relaxed using a variety of pressure and techniques, with lots of long gentle strokes that felt wonderful. His studio is stylish, decorated with beautiful art, with soft music throughout. I left feeling relaxed and totally satisfied with all my tension released.
Anthony is amazing. I'm pretty active and my job involves a lot of physical work, so my muscles get really sore. At this point in my life, pain is a regular thing. I texted Anthony about getting a massage and he got back to me right away. We set up an appointment for the very next day. When I arrived, his place was truly wonderful. We talked about some problem areas I was experiencing and he even found some spots I didn't realize were bothering me. Anthony also gave me some stretches I can do regularly. I'd highly recommend a 90-minute massage with him.
I wanted a good deep tissue massage and that's exactly what I got—the best deep tissue massage I've had. Anthony found knots I didn't even know were there. My workouts make me about as flexible as a brick, so I really need help breaking apart those tight muscles, and the extra stretching makes a huge difference. Plus his in-home studio is completely clean and very relaxing.
I've returned to Anthony for massage multiple times and he always delivers the best experience. My last appointment was for two hours and even that seemed to go by too fast. He makes you feel special and relaxed, and the moment his hands touch you it's clear he really knows what he's doing. His touches range from gentle to firm with emphasis on the pressure points and areas you specify. When I leave I always feel great, and even days later I'm still feeling the effects of his work. I'd recommend him highly and always suggest booking a two-hour session because anything less just isn't enough.
Anthony is a great massage therapist. I saw him because I had tight neck and back muscles. He spent a good amount of time working on them and then finished with the rest of the full-body massage. He's professional, sensitive to his clients' needs, and very skilled. It was a great massage. I recommend him to everyone.
Anthony's studio is welcoming and clean no matter the season. He offers massage that's thorough, complete, and perfectly matched to each client's needs. He's always willing to answer questions, offer advice, or address any worries. The outcome is always rewarding physically, mentally, and even emotionally—a truly masterful performance every time from a friendly, charming host.
Anthony is amazing. I've dealt with myofascial knots between my shoulder blades for over 20 years and have had a lot of massages from different therapists. My knots get so severe that they sometimes make me feel sick. I really appreciate his techniques and I always feel so much better after. He's very respectful and professional and open to talking about my problem areas. He's also really tuned in—most of the time he doesn't need any direction and finds my knots on his own. I'm so grateful to finally have a massage therapist who helps my body actually heal and move forward.
Anthony has really gifted hands. I have severe neuropathy in my legs and he helped me up the stairs to his studio. After a 90-minute session focusing on my legs and lower back, my legs felt much more mobile and I had better range of motion. He's a wonderful talented guy with a beautiful, well-furnished home studio. I'm definitely a regular now.
For the past few years I'd only been going to Anthony for relaxing massage. Then I was in a car accident and Anthony really helped me recover from whiplash injuries over several weeks. He's a true professional and knows exactly what he's doing. Now I go back to see him weekly for my relaxation sessions.
I'd moved back to Rhode Island and hadn't seen Anthony in several years. His studio is one of the most peaceful places for a great massage. His technique is exactly like I remembered. I'm grateful he's still in practice.
Total relaxation from start to finish. Anthony spots trouble areas and works them out. When you're done, your body will be totally relaxed. It's the best thing you can do for your body.
Anthony gave me a great massage. My lower back and hip were stiff and in some pain. Anthony got me very relaxed, using a variety of pressure and techniques, with many long gentle strokes that felt wonderful as well. His studio is stylish, decorated with great art, with soft music playing throughout the massage. I left feeling relaxed and completely satisfied, with all of my tension released.
I've been working with Anthony over the past year to address several injuries. His expertise in bodywork and assisted stretching has made a real difference in my flexibility, recovery, and overall health. His personalized approach and deep understanding of how the body moves have helped me get better in ways I thought were impossible. Every session is both effective and enjoyable because he brings real knowledge and a positive attitude to everything he does. I strongly recommend Anthony to anyone wanting to improve their physical wellbeing and quality of life.
Great massage and wonderful atmosphere. Anthony truly cares about his clients' issues and works hard to make them feel much better than when they walked in. I'd definitely highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.
Anthony is one of those rare massage therapists who actually listens to what you tell him your problem is and works to address it. It was honestly one of the most professional massages I've ever had. He knows what he's doing and he's fully committed to giving you the best massage possible. His knowledge and experience are truly valuable. If you want to work out tension and deeply relax, he's your person.
Anthony's studio is welcoming and tastefully decorated. I feel relaxed and at ease the moment I walk in. He listens carefully to what you need and adjusts his various massage techniques to focus on specific problem areas and sore spots. I have some chronic hip and back pain and I always feel better after seeing him. He's experienced, skillful, and a complete professional.
The massage was wonderful as always. Anthony has a technique with his thumbs and hands that's incredibly relaxing. During the entire session I felt like he really cared about me and was fully present with me. His studio ambiance is fantastic. In one word, the whole thing was wonderful. I'm now a regular and come twice a month.
I've been going to Anthony for a while now and after my last massage on Friday my back and shoulders needed help after days of yard work. He's truly gifted when it comes to using the right technique to relieve those stubborn aches and pains from workouts, construction, or yard work. His studio is clean, uncluttered, warm, and very inviting with soothing sounds in the background that help you relax while he works on your tight muscles. When he finished I felt great and the aches were gone. I was ready to go right back out there knowing that relief was just a message away. I'd recommend Anthony to anyone needing great massage work.
After three months of stressful lockdown due to the pandemic I finally got back to Anthony for a much-needed massage. He kept checking in with me about how I was managing breathing through a mask and whether the pressure felt right. I'll definitely keep booking with Anthony for a great massage in a safe and clean space.
Great experience. Anthony was on time, the room was very relaxing. I had a 90-minute massage and honestly I wish it was longer. The next day I felt so much better. I have some real problem areas that Anthony worked on. I'll definitely be back.
It's hard to put into words how great this experience was in every way. His attention to what my muscles needed, combined with his deep and relaxing technique, created incredibly healing and therapeutic results. Anthony even taught me some stretching exercises to help with some chronic pain I have. The studio is beautiful and well maintained, easy to find with plenty of parking. I've already booked my next appointment. I'd highly recommend his services. It's a truly relaxing and calming experience.
I had shoulder pain from a sports injury in late summer. We talked through my symptoms and Anthony looked at what was going on, then worked to increase my range of motion. I went back three times and the pain completely went away. He's truly skilled at massage and bodywork.
Anthony is among the very best massage therapists I've had, and I've had plenty over the years. What really stands out is how intuitively he knows when to change pressure and how to shift his approach. He understands how to work muscles and joints for real results. His hands are exceptionally strong and his knowledge of the human body from a massage standpoint is clear. His space is beautiful and welcoming. He was kind enough to show me some yoga stretches to take home. I strongly recommend him.
I just finished my third deep tissue massage with Anthony last week. His skill is obvious—he takes his time working through every muscle group carefully. I really appreciated how much he cares and how focused he stays. He's become an essential part of my whole care routine. He responds to texts fast and makes scheduling super easy. His whole approach is relaxed and friendly, which immediately made me feel comfortable. I'd absolutely recommend him and the 90-minute session is worth every minute. I left completely relaxed and refreshed. Thanks Anthony.
I've been seeing Anthony for over 6 years, visiting at least once a month. Just talking to him before your appointment, you can feel his deep knowledge of the body from his years of experience. He intuitively knows which spots need attention on me without me having to spell it out. Some days I want deep tissue work and some days I want something more relaxing for stress relief—he always knows how to deliver exactly that. He's nonjudgmental and I've always felt secure and comfortable around him. He talks when you want to chat and stays quiet when you need silence, letting you drift away. His studio is spotless and has a dedicated massage room with a heated table. He's truly the best and a great person. You won't be disappointed.
Anthony has been amazing at treating my hip injury. He used massage and stretching methods that I wouldn't have come up with on my own to help strengthen my hip and increase how far I can move. His knowledge really helped with my golf swing. I keep seeing him on a weekly basis.
During a visit to Providence I found Anthony. I've been getting massages for years and I can honestly say Anthony ranks in the top three massage therapists I've ever experienced. His welcoming warmth matches his technical skill, calmness, and physical strength perfectly. He knows multiple techniques and adapts them to exactly what you need. If you want serious deep tissue work, his strength delivers. If you want relaxation, his calm presence will get you there. I can't recommend him enough. He's both a skilled therapist and genuinely one of the kindest people I've met in a long time. Thanks so much.
I'm in my 30s and had pain in my left leg and side for almost a year. Anthony traced it back to a muscle deep in my body (left psoas) and used a combination of stretches, breathwork, and deep pressure to work through the tension. Right after the massage, I could put weight on my left leg without pain and my walking was no longer lopsided. In the days since, my workouts have gotten so much better and I'm finally sleeping through the whole night. I highly recommend Anthony.
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.
