Overview

This is strictly outcall only no incalls. When reaching out please take the care and time to compose a thoughtful text or email. I am 25 years and 12,000 professional massages into my career. A great unique massage is simply all I offer. To me clear concise communication matter greatly.
In 1997, I graduated from Tucson's Desert Institute and continued my studies at Esalen and in Thailand. Memorable massage is a shared journey not a series of rehearsed... strokes. Each massage I offer is unique. My offering, is a custom mix of Esalen, educated focused deep tissue, relaxing Swedish, targeted trigger points, Thai stretches, and unbonding Myofascial release. Massage is a luxury so I always use a heated table and comfy sheets. If you would like a response reach out by e-mail or text and tell me a little bit about yourself and what you are seeking from your massage expectations. I care about quality gay bodywork and have been working full time over two decades. I won’t respond to short, incomplete, impersonal or inappropriate communications. Due to the voluminous amount of reviews and descriptions of my work online and my healthy schedule of repeat clients I am uninterested in unreimbursed banter. Thanks for reading this and I look forward to working with you.

The finest deep tissue leg work around, love the assisted yoga stretches too. Slow, rhythmic and in touch a bodyworker like no other. He does one session per day and his care and focus emanate from his work. Book him if you get a chance. Thanks so much Zeke. Please come back to the Valley of the Sun soon.

I have been a client of Zeke’s for over 15 years and I continue to be amazed at how each massage is unique, custom tailored and spirited. Prior to finding him I had only been to spas and didn’t realize how caring and life supporting a solo practitioner can be. He has made my life better, my body more functional and my journey easier. If you get a chance to work with him do, you will be grateful. He only does outcalls and travels the West. He is a blessing.

Zeke is very gifted masseur who embodies immense joy, warmth and loving light! In the 30 years that I've received care I cannot think of another body practitioner that requires so many adjectives to accurately describe his abilities and embodiment. Zeke is well skilled in a multitude of body modalities and massage techniques; additionally, he is strong, conscious, careful, sensitive, loving, precise, careful, completely focused, balanced and most of all very nurturing.

He really knows his craft; and his touch is ... magic!

Zeke is truly a healer. In my 49 years on this planet and literally 100's of massages I have never experienced a massage like the transformative experience I had with Zeke. From our first communication via email he was professional, kind and responsive. He books up quickly but was able to get me on his schedule as soon as he had availability. He does not book more than one or two massages a day so that he is fully present with each client (and it shows in his work). He confirmed the day before, texted me shortly before arriving and was on time the day of the massage. He set up with nice sheets and a warm full body heating pad underneath. He took the time to "tune into" my body and started with some slow movements and gradually worked into the massage. I appreciated that. I had a tremendous amount of tension and he was able to work out knots in my back and neck. He seemed to intuitively know what my body needed. My deep breathing was almost automatic and I could feel the tension release from my body (I swear it was decades of tension.. ) with each stroke of his skilled hands. He balanced deep work with soft nurturing touch. I had experienced one Esalen massage almost 30 years ago and appreciated those elements as part of the massage. If you haven't had one before it encourages breath work (although he didn't.. I just remembered this.. and knew he wouldn't think I was "weird" for doing my yogic breathing to release the tension .. ) and incorporates an almost "psycho-spiritual" aspect to the massage.. With the right therapist it becomes almost a "dance" of energy. It's hard to explain. I was left transformed. After being in pain for months. I picked up my 3 kids from school that afternoon feeling lighter, happier, and more centered.. as well as feeling grounded. The weekend was joyful and productive. I have been virtually pain free for the last couple of days since the massage. I am looking forward to my next session. What a blessing Zeke is to this world. I am a nurse and am finally learning that self care is essential. Zeke is going to be part of how I care for myself so that I can care for others.

Zeke is amazing. His energy and work are fantastic. Never a disappointment in a session. He is my go to monthly and I always look forward to our sessions.
I highly recommend his work to anyone who is looking for massage, healings and overall wellness.

Zeke is terrific!
I had a wonderful massage therapist, whom I saw intermittently over a several year period, but he moved away over 10 years ago . Since then I have had many a massage but Zeke is the first massage therapist since then who actually truly understands how one's body works and treats you and your body as an individual with distinct needs, versus giving everyone the exact same massage. As an earlier reviewer mentioned, every massage is different.
Zeke is able to skillfully find and work on trigger points for my migraines, as well as determine what is underlying other problems. Often times I have believed that I might need to see a doctor for some joint issue or other problem and Zeke will know what part of my body may be tight and thus contributing to the pain or problem. With Zeke's skillful, intelligent, and intuitive work my body has come a long way toward becoming more balanced. (I must say that as I am aging I have some of those lovely aging aches and pains which always surprise me.)
Zeke has been incredibly supportive since I began seeing him about a year ago. Although he is known for deep tissue work, he is very open and willing to work in a lighter manner if that is your need or preference.
Zeke is flexible which is a wonderful trait in a professional massage therapist.
Zeke, thank you so much. You are a wonderfully kind and sensitive man with whom I , as a woman, feel completely comfortable during my massages.

I've been a client of Zeke's for over a year now and I've continue to be amazed how each massage can be a different journey, yet always be incredibly nurturing and caring. I had only had massages at spas before and hadn't realized how much more healing they could be to both mind and spirit.

In addition, he's always responsive to my phone calls as well as be both punctual and courteous. I heartily recommend his services.

If you want a really deep massage to work out the kinks and knots that you just can't seem to get rid of, Zeke is the man to see! He knew exactly where and how to apply his pressure and his knowledge of sports injuries and how to combat them was so very helpful.

I recently went on a 3 day backpacking trip at Desolation WIlderness in Lake Tahoe. We hiked through all sorts of terrain, and I injured my right shoulder trying to climb up a huge wall of granite slab with a 60L pack on. It's been about 3 weeks now, and I haven't been able to workout or sleep comfortably because of the stiffness and sore aches I've been feeling.

I decided that seeing a massage therapist would be the best choice to get rid of this pain and found him on Yelp. Through his website I filled out an intake form which allowed me to write a note about my situation, and he wrote back immediately with his thoughts and suggestions. He felt that it may be a rotator cuff trigger point (which I really had no idea what that was, so googled it and agreed). I then booked an appointment through his scheduling site and I had an appointment the following week. The process was so easy!

The massage was PHENOMENAL. He knew exactly which pressure points to work on and had the perfect amount of strength to release the tension I had been feeling for weeks. He told me afterwards that he felt it may be something more than just a rotator cuff trigger point being activated and suggested I follow up by seeing a chiropractor. He was so thorough with his assessments and suggestions.

After my previous masseur moved out of the area, I wanted to find someone who would provide out-services in my home to better fit into my busy schedule. From the first time I contacted Zeke, he has been personable and professional, and in general a really great guy. As of the writing of this review, I've been using Zeke's services for about a year.

His massage is amazing, and was exactly what I was searching for relative to my personal preferences. Each session is unique based on how I'm feeling that day and what body aches I need addressed. The best session was after I had been having back spasms and had answered the door wearing a back brace because it hurt so bad. After his massage with pressure point work, I felt 1000 times better and was pain free the next day.

Overall, I highly recommend Zeke, but encourage you to read the FAQs on his website to ensure that his style of massage aligns with your needs and expectations.

This was the first time I have had a massage in my home and I'll admit I was a little hesitant/nervous. The experience was outstanding in every way. Zeke was prompt, professional, patient, safe and considerate, as a guest/service provider in my home.

This was, simply and profoundly, the best massage I have ever experienced.

He setup a very comfortable table, heated pad, clean sheets.

Perfection in choosing a setup location in front of my woodstove and we both enjoyed the best soundtrack possible (unplanned) of my sweet Great Dane breathing deeply, very sound asleep next to us the whole time. It was amazing! My two rascally kitties popped in and out, but I was in such incredible bliss and so relaxed that their feline shenanigans weren't even a distraction.

What a wonderful gift Zeke has. He's a master and a healer.

I'll be including as often as possible as I continue to work on my own health issues, which he was able to focus on for me and I very much appreciated his therapeutic, healing techniques.

He's just lovely! Do not hesitate to seek him out, wherever he might be.

I've been using Zeke for a long time. I have a handicap and had been hospitalized for months and was extremely weak when I began getting caring, wonderful massages and bodywork from Zeke. When I began, Zeke had to lift me onto his massage table. He couldn't have been more gentle and nurturing. He saw me through some difficult times and it was his work that helped speed my recovery and helped me regain strength. Since then, his weekly massages have always been a high point of my week. His deep tissue and trigger point skills have really helped my lower back pain as well as had great positive effects on other stiff joints and tight muscles. Words can't properly describe what excellent results his work on me has produced. On top of great massages, he is a very warm and caring person. I highly recommend Zeke.

As a person who works a desk job (aka has always had chronic neck / shoulder pain), I've had decades of massages. I can 100% say that Zeke is the best. In this COVID world, having Zeke come to my house and provide a 90 minute outdoor backyard session has been the only thing that's kept me sane. It's just pure bliss. I may never prefer an indoor massage again.

Just as his website mentions, he's all about improvisation - like good jazz. My second session was nothing like my first. After my first, I felt so energized that I wanted to go for a run. After my second, I slept like a baby...and by that I mean, I fell asleep that evening without soreness in my shoulder for the first time in years.

He's extremely talented and in another era, he'd be considered a healer. Yes, he's that good. For anyone who needs just a little TLC during this crazy time, I suggest shooting Zeke a note. But please not everyone as I'd still like my regular backyard sessions. :)

Ezekiel (Zeke) is a gifted therapist and one of the most open and kind-hearted people I've ever encountered. A chance meeting after my partner and I had just moved to the East Bay Area connected us with Zeke and we both booked massages with him within a few weeks. He will absolutely be my guy from now on. Hope he stays close to this area for a good long time. His Esalen training and many years of experience pair very well with his intuitive and thoughtful practice as a health professional. He incorporated a great deal of stretching and deep tissue work right along with relaxation and human caring. The pressure was just right and I felt really good for many days following the session. He used body positioning and stretching in an almost yoga-like way that I had never experienced and found it incredibly helpful. He was silent throughout the session which I alway find preferable than small talk as it really helps me focus. At the same time, he took several extra minutes of his own time after the session to just get to know me sincerely and that was just great from my perspective. He also delivered the massage therapy care in my own home which increased the convenience and the comfort. I am looking forward to the next time!

Zeke has the unique gift of intuition that he brings to his massage technique. He has the ability to know exactly what my body needs during a massage and where. In addition he uses the perfect amount of pressure. And he's a great guy! I highly recommend.

Feb. 19, 2020 in Palm Springs, CA (mobile)

I'm kind of a massage connisoeur. It's my therapy - - both physical and mental - - so I'm picky. Really picky. But as I said to Zeke today, finding him feels like winning the massage lottery. Zeke is a maestro of massage. He's strong and intuitive and calm and for the 90 minutes or so that I'm on his table, I feel nothing but bliss. Technically, he's an expert in various modalities and he can seamlessly move from deep tissue to pressure point to Swedish, using whichever technique is most suited to discovering and working into all the nooks and crannies where pain and tension and stress and trauma hide out in my body and my brain. But his magic isn't his technical skill, it's his ability to hold space in the massage for real and intense transformation. It's a rare skill and I'm grateful to be the beneficiary of it.

Zeke deserves every positive comment that's been posted here about him. I have to agree with all of them. He really does provide great therapeutic bodywork.

He checks-in with me before the massage. He has a really nice energy about him. He's got amazing strength. He's intuitive. He's respectful. He's professional. And his massages are always balanced with the strength and pressure I need.

Hands down, he's the best massage therapist I've ever worked with. And he's helped me get through several crises of back and shoulder issues caused by stress and work.

Thanks Zeke, you're wonderful.

My partner frequents professional massage therapists of a wide variety. After she tried Zeke, she was aglow, describing an unparalleled experience of comfort and relaxation. I recently purchased Zeke's two-hour massage for her, after which she was simply beaming. This man has a gift. I can recommend no other name if you want to experience body work as it is meant to be.

This is the best massage experience I've found! My career demands physical movement and my bad habits demand some extra care. I travel all over the country and look forward to coming to Northern California.

Zeke's technique works through the whole body and gives me both the deep massage on my shoulders, hands, and hips that ache, and his work gives me a fresh balance on a daily basis. We have worked together (when I am in the area) since 2004 and I have yet to find a more complete and relaxing massage therapy treatment.

I look forward to another session in a couple of weeks! Thanks!!

I was delighted when I saw that Zeke was going to be in Los Angeles again. I have seen Zeke over a period of 15 years, and every time I have a treatment, it is wonderful. Zeke is incredibly personable, and listens to what your body is telling him. The combination of deep tissue pressure and long muscle strokes is like a dance. He also adds some stretch movements which are incredibly relaxing. I never pass up an opportunity to book a massage with Zeke when he is in town. Neither should you.

Zeke is a friendly guy who met me with a pleasant smile when I opened my door to him for our appointment. He was prompt, arriving just early enough to set up his table. Zeke got right down to business, asking a few general questions about specific aches and pains. He came across as someone who genuinely cares about his work and his clients. Zeke's broad base of training, and how he uses his knowledge, benefited me as he adapted his techniques and pressure during the massage. He was very intuitive about this, as if he knew what I needed before I asked. After the massage, I felt entirely relaxed and rejuvenated. I enjoy massage frequently and in many places. Zeke is definitely the best massage therapist I've encountered. Great credentials and a calm demeanor. Do yourself a favor: when choosing a massage therapist in the Bay Area, save yourself time, and choose Zeke. You will be glad you did.

Feb. 02, 2017 in Los Angeles, CA (in-studio)

I have received massages from Zeke for over 10 years, and I see him whenever he is in town. His massage is a wonderful combination of deep tissue, body-long Esalen strokes, and wonderful stretching using his strong hands, elbows, forearms, and knees. His movements are like a dance around your body that will leave you in a dream like state. He will find every stress point and leave you relaxed. He responds quickly to messages and is absolutely dependable. He has a friendly, mountain-man personality and his massage is spiritually nurturing. Time spent with him is simply the very best body work that I have experienced.

An excellent massage session, fully up to previous experience and expectations. There was plenty of deep pressure varied by lighter touch, and very good attention to problem areas including neck and shoulders. I would recommend this masseur at the highest level.
