Testimonials

Gathered by Simon from admiring massage clients to share with you.

March 14, 2024 in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, MX (mobile)

“Simons sessions are a multilevel adventure. We clear a lot from my muscles, my lymph, and my energetic body. The massage experience I have with his is very satisfying. He is strong and highly effective yet also relaxing. He gives great deep tissue work and good vibes. I very much appreciate him and see him whenever he is in town. I wish he was in town more."

“Simon gives a great massage. I’ve been coming to him for relaxation and healing and good vibes for years. Such a joy to be with. His calm sweet presence and deep nurturing bodywork gives me so much ease. Simon has helped me in some integration with injury recovery as well as our general overall body bliss massage sessions. Very thankful.”

“Hands down one of the best massages I've ever had, if not the best.
Highly recommended!
Simon is a tremendously skilled massage therapist. They are intuitive and seem quite at ease working with the human body. They moved gracefully and incrementally down my frame, methodically working into muscles and tendons where the tightness and soreness was. They worked in a way that was articulate and easeful, using stretching in a way I hadn't experienced before. Their massage felt so good.”

"Simon combined an incredible knowledge of human anatomy with intuitive wisdom and powerful listening skills. They created a massage experience that addressed the physical ailments I was experiencing, as well as the emotional ailments that underpinned them. The space held for me felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming of anything that came up for me during the session. I strongly recommend Simon as a practitioner."

Simon is one of my all time favorite masseurs.
I’ve been getting bodywork done every week for the past 25 years, (Yep, that’s not a typo!), and of the scores of massage therapists I’ve seen, Simon is one of my all-time favorite practitioners! I’ve been seeing him whenever he is in the area, over the past 15 years and the experience is always transcendent.
He has a warm and healing presence, and is a highly skilled masseur with an amazingly and intuitive touch. I can’t say enough good things.
My only regret is that he doesn’t visit my area often enough!!
