Testimonials

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

Jan. 01, 2026 in New York, NY (in-studio)

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Ethan. I reached out to him on January 1, 2026, very last minute, not expecting availability on the first day of the new year. To my surprise — and genuine gratitude — he graciously made time in his schedule. It was the best possible way to start the year.

After an exceptionally stressful holiday season filled with family obligations and end-of-year work pressures, this session was exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. His space is immaculately clean, warm, and welcoming, reflecting the level of care and professionalism he brings to his work.

Ethan himself is incredibly attractive — his photos truly do not do him justice. Beyond that, he is kind, attentive, and welcoming, with a calm confidence and natural warmth that immediately puts you at ease. His presence and subtle, magnetic energy added an extra dimension to the experience, making the session not only deeply relaxing but also uniquely engaging and pleasurable.

The massage itself was exceptional. Ethan is highly intuitive, effortlessly identifying areas of tension and stress and addressing needs I didn’t even realize required attention. His skill level is outstanding, demonstrating mastery not only of therapeutic massage but also of creating a fully immersive, personalized experience. Everything was handled with care, respect, and professionalism, striking a perfect balance between relaxation, connection, and rejuvenation.

His rates are more than reasonable for the level of expertise, attentiveness, and overall experience he provides. Quite frankly, he is one of the best massage therapists in Manhattan. As a true New Yorker, I rarely share my best-kept secrets — but Ethan absolutely deserves recognition. He is a genuine gem.

I am incredibly grateful for this experience and will absolutely be returning many times. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional massage from a truly talented, attentive, and memorable professional.

I’ve been getting massages for about 10 years. The massage Ethan gave me yesterday was the best I ever received. Not only is Ethan very handsome and pleasant, the massage itself is now my standard by which I will judge all others. I look forward to the next time Ethan comes to town!

The massage was awesome. Ethan found my knots in my upper shoulders and took care of them. I didn't fall asleep but was able to just let myself relax and just let my mind wander off. I definitely look forward to another appointment with him.

March 13, 2018 in Baltimore, MD (in-studio)

Ethan is an excellent therapist; he was friendly and thorough, and I was falling asleep somewhere in the middle of the massage. He worked out the knots I tend to build up between my scapulae. If I make it to New York, I'll make the effort to book him up there.

Aug. 19, 2017 in New York, NY (in-studio)

Excellent massage from Ethan, highly recommend. I asked for extra deep work on my shoulder knots, and he delivered what I needed. He's reliable, punctual, very friendly and easygoing. His space is quiet and clean; he has a tiny little dog who disappears after you enter and stays quiet. Perfect music. Would hire again. I am also a masseur, my standards are high for what I expect from another masseur; Ethan met and exceeded my basic expectations.

March 10, 2017 in Philadelphia, PA (in-studio)

Ethan was gentle but strong. He did a full body massage. He combined deep tissue (Medium pressure) with Swedish. He was warm and attentive. He also worked with me about my appointment time and was very accommodating when I asked to change my time. Its one of the best massages I've have in some time. I will see him again when he's in Philly and hope to stop in at his studio in NYC when I'm visiting.

Jan. 08, 2017 in Washington, DC (in-studio)

My lower back has been bothering me for several years. I decided to make an appointment with Ethan earlier this week and we met last night for my massage appointment . My back pain has been gone ever since. We met again today to work out any other kinks before he headed home. Another great session. Will definitely see him in the future.
