Overview

My approach to massage is the culmination of 25 years of experience working with a wide variety of clients and individual needs. I believe effective massage is not simply about applying a particular technique, but about listening to the body and adapting each session to the person in front of me.

My work draws from several therapeutic modalities, including Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, Reiki, and Graston Technique. Sessions can range from gentle, restorative work focused on relaxation and stress relief... to more targeted work addressing areas of muscular tension and discomfort.

I am also a Certified Counsellor and understand that sometimes what we need most is a safe, comfortable space to slow down and be heard. If you would like to talk during your session, you are always welcome to do so; if you prefer quiet and relaxation, that is equally welcome.

Above all, my priority is that you feel safe, respected, and at ease. Every session is tailored to your individual comfort and needs.

Please feel free to call or text with any questions or for more information. I look forward to meeting you.

March 01, 2022 in Naples, FL (in-studio)

What a gift for my body and spirit getting a massage from Erik. As a very private person, feeling safe is paramount to me. My fears quickly began to melt away from the moment Erik’s smiling face greeted me at his door.
All my senses were embraced by the welcoming warm furnishings, magical aroma, ethereal music and Erik’s soothing voice. All that, combined with the warmth of Erik’s empathetic touch, completely soothed muscle and emotional tensions I didn’t even know I had!
I left there with a glowing mind, body and soul.

Erik has been my massage therapist for more than six years which is a testament to my faith in him and his expertise. He is a gifted, caring, sensitive artist who enjoys, thoroughly, what he does. In fact, one would be remiss to refer to his artistry as work. Erik provides a therapeutic, relaxing and tailored massage in a clean, comfortable and safe environment. Once you experience Erik's talent, coalesced with his warm, friendly and engaging demeanor, I have no doubt you will schedule your next session as soon as possible.

During a recent visit to Naples, I was able to secure an appointment with Erik. The communication was easy and we scheduled a time. His studio was easy to find, clean, relaxing and beautifully appointed. He met me at the door with a beautiful smile and a welcoming attitude. Erik’s touch began easy and progressed during the massage. First, the back and legs and progressed to my feet and chest. The massage ended with touch to the head and neck. I would rate the experience as one of my top five massages. We parted with a sincere hug and a promise that I would schedule another massage on my upcoming visit.
