About
Lake Forest Park's lakeside studio is home to something you won't find elsewhere in the Seattle area: a tandem massage experience where two fully trained professionals work on you in complete synchronization. My partner and I have spent the last five years perfecting this 4-handed approach, blending Tui Na and Swedish techniques to create a level of muscle manipulation and relaxation that a single therapist simply can't achieve.
When you come to our in-home studio, you're walking into a space designed for comfort from the moment you arrive. The room is warm, the air carries subtle aromatherapy, candles set a calm rhythm, and we have everything ready—hot towels, soft music, a private restroom. We focus on making you feel at ease because we know that relaxation begins the instant you step through the door.
We no longer offer one-on-one massage. The demand for our tandem work has grown because clients feel the difference. Two sets of hands moving in harmony over your body creates a synchronized pressure and flow that allows your muscles to release more deeply than they would under a single therapist's touch. It's not a gimmick—it's a fundamentally different experience, and it shows in how people feel afterward.
One thing to know upfront: we book about a week in advance and we don't take same-day appointments. This isn't a limitation—it's how we make sure every session is fully prepared and unhurried. If you're looking for tandem massage in Washington and want to work with therapists who've genuinely invested in mastering this craft, I'd like to hear from you.

FAQ
What is a tandem or 4-hand massage?
A tandem massage is where two therapists work on you simultaneously in coordinated, synchronized movements. Both therapists apply pressure, stretch, and manipulate your muscles in harmony, creating a balanced and deeply relaxing experience that's different from a single-therapist session. Ryan and his partner are the only Seattle-based couple currently offering this service.
Does Ryan offer same-day appointments in Lake Forest Park?
