About
Eighteen years of hands-on work with clients has taught me that real healing happens when you listen to what the body is telling you. I came to this work after spending years in counseling and environmental health—background that shaped how I think about care, safety, and the person on the table in front of me.
My studio in Mesquite is set up to let that work happen. The heated, memory foam table, the warm room with soft music and essential oils, the shower available before and after—these aren't extras. They're part of how we create space for your body to actually let go. I work with Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, sports massage, and medical massage techniques. Most sessions I'm combining a few of these, reading what you need as we go.
I use hydrocollator heat packs and ice to ease inflammation. I focus where the knots live—your shoulders, lower back, feet, wherever you're holding tension. A lot of clients come in wound tight and leave feeling like they slept for the first time in weeks. That's the work.
I'm fully vaccinated and boosted, and I keep this a judgment-free space. LGBTQQIA+ and non-binary folks are welcomed here. You'll feel safe, your privacy matters, and confidentiality is non-negotiable. I'm mindful of what you need before you even say it.
The studio is in a quiet residential spot in Mesquite, easy to reach by car, Uber, or Lyft, with plenty of street parking. First-time customers pay before the session starts. When you book, just send me your name, the date you want, and how long you'd like—45 minutes, 65, 70, or 90. Show up as a customer, leave as a client. That's how I see it.

Testimonials
Had an outstanding massage with Craig after sleeping on a bad mattress for two weeks. He focused on my lower back, glutes, and legs. The relaxation afterwards was so deep I slept better that night than I had in weeks. I loved his welcoming environment, soothing atmosphere with music, and his perfect sense of pressure. Chris
Craig is an exceptional massage therapist. The session was a truly great experience, not a typical cookie-cutter massage. He was professional and friendly, and booking was easy and efficient. Bryan
Recently had a massage with Craig and it was the best I've ever received. He paid close attention to detail and made me feel cared for throughout. He was gentle where needed and applied more pressure where it counted. Great conversation too, and I was truly engaged the whole time. Can't wait to book again.

Craig provides top-notch back and foot massage service. Highly recommend. Curt
The best massage experience of my life. I've never felt this way after a massage before. Craig has amazing hands and knows exactly what he's doing. Hard to put into words, but it was truly the best massage I've ever had. Arsalan
First session with Craig was exactly what I needed. His Swedish massage technique worked wonders on the tension in my upper back. Highly recommend and I'll be back for more bodywork.
My experience with Craig was very professional, thorough, and deeply relaxing. He's also a genuinely nice person to talk to, which reflects his educational background, but he also respected my need for quiet during the massage. I'd recommend him without hesitation. Ken

Craig is my go-to massage therapist now. He's kind, thoughtful, professional, and his skill is superb. He found the knots in my shoulder and upper back quickly and melted them away with firm pressure. I recommend him highly.
Had a wonderful experience at Craig's studio with a Swedish and deep tissue blend that was top notch. He was awesome. Jim
Best therapist in Mesquite and I highly recommend him for the most relaxing full body massage experience. Nice clean office and caring attention. I'll continue coming back to Craig. Miguel
Craig gave me an outstanding massage. He worked on my feet, legs, thighs, and glutes, leaving me feeling relaxed and restored. The hot towels he used were wonderful, and the calm environment with music was perfect. You can tell Craig is a true professional with a great personality. I'll definitely be back.
I've seen Craig over six times. His hands are the best, and the attention he pays to my feet as a dance teacher is a true gift. Don't wait to get on his table and let him work his magic. The hot towel finish at the end is the perfect way to close out an outstanding massage.
