Overview

Hey all! I'm a seasoned, Brooklyn-based bodyworker with 20+ years of experience. My sessions cater to individual needs but move between acupressure, deep tissue massage, with elements of myofascial release.
I have a background in competitive athletics that evolved into a passion for mind-body arts. I've studied traditional western massage and oriental medicine, Tai Chi, Aikido, Muay Thai, Thai massage, and various schools of yoga. I was trained and certified in Taoist massage and bodywork in 2005. I...'ve been teaching classes, courses and workshops—nationally and internationally—integrating these skills since. I received my 200hr yoga teacher certificate in 2014, and started my company, MindfulMoves, in 2015.
Whether you just need strong hands to knead out your knots, or you need someone to talk you through a relaxing session, combining movement, stretch therapy, breathing and massage—into a transformative moment—let's do this! Advanced programs available upon request. Professional therapeutic services only. Special packages available for multiple sessions. Excited to help you feel fantastic in body and mind!

Testimonials

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

Dec. 07, 2025 in Brooklyn, NY (mobile)

I took a chance on a profile with no reviews, and I’m so glad I did!! And I’m very happy to leave Michael’s first review on this site - I can guarantee he leaves a long trail of glowing reviews wherever he goes. He is truly a healer, with a gift of very strong hands, excellent intuition, and a commitment to the art of massage that his lead him to be an incredibly thoroughly trained and experienced masseur. Plus he’s a genuinely lovely human - I will definitely be booking with him again. 5 out of 5 stars, if you need/want a true healing experience for body & mind, do yourself the favor and book.
