Overview

Warm Greetings! After a careful intake, I integrate to suit your special needs: deep tissue, Shiatsu, Swedish, myofascial, joint mobilization, hot stone, sports massage, pnf stretching, lymphatic, and Thai massage. I incorporate other modalities (trigger point, energy work) spontaneously to create a unique experience just for you. I am passionate, driven, and strong, and I utilize my intuition and nurturing presence to create a satisfying, healing and relaxing experience for all my clients.

A free-spirited and whimsical soul, I love... supporting my LGBTQ+ Community and am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. My healing practice is informed by my spiritual tradition which teaches that we are all One! I look forward to serving the diverse community of West Sonoma County and our esteemed visitors in the area or wherever I am traveling. I am certified after completing a 700-hour training program (CMTC#90443).
This former professor will deliver a memorable therapeutic massage experience that guarantees you will want to come back again and again!

Testimonials

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

Sept. 18, 2023 in Sebastopol, CA (in-studio)

“I met Matthew when I went to the NHI Massage School for a student massage, and I was so impressed by his talent, and sense of touch that I made several calls to track him down. He understands massage and the human body on a level deeper than anyone I’ve ever worked with. His massages change the way I relate to my daily life, and have taught me to relax more deeply in any given moment. I have the utmost level of trust in Matthew. He doesn’t just lay me down and give me a massage, but he always checks in with how I’m doing and where I’m at in life, then gives me a massage customized to my body and mind on that day. He truly has my best interest in mind and seeks to heal with massage, but also with friendship, care, and concern.”
