Dec. 10, 2024 in New York, NY (in-studio)

I had a 60-minute massage session with Nick, and I only wish I had booked a longer option! Unfortunately, there was another appointment right after mine.

The table was incredibly comfortable, and I especially loved the table warmer — it added such a cozy touch. My favorite part of the experience was definitely the Hot Stones. The whole session was calm, relaxing, and made me feel 100% at ease.

I originally booked the appointment for a shoulder issue, and Nick was amazing. He was gentle but firm in addressing the problem, striking the perfect balance — not overly rough, but still effective. During the session, he mentioned the possibility of a rotator cuff tear, which prompted me to get imaging done. He was spot on! I’ve since scheduled laparoscopic surgery to fix it, so THANK YOU, NICK, for catching that!

Once I’m fully recovered, I’ll absolutely be back for more sessions. Highly recommend!

Its been a year since my last appointment with Nick and I hadn't been to his new place which is so nice.
Parking with the valet is easy and it's nice to know the car is in a secure garage.
Appointment was great as always, I like taking a shower after and he always has plenty of fresh towels and soaps every time I've been there.
His place and vibe makes you feel very comfortable and taken care of. His massage magic is always consistently able to unlock my right shoulder and for that alone I would give him a 10/10. All the extras make the experience feel very premium.

I've seen Nick for massage for a year.
He has a very unique style that is really terrific. He starts out with a back massage and then drapes you in blankets and works the legs and thighs.
He then takes a water break for you to drink some water and returns to the massage room where he works on the front of the body. He touch is pitch perfect and he has an innate ability to apply just the right amount of pressure to the body part he is working on. If he has time, he will engage in great conversation over tea on his patio. Nick is a very handsome man and often will use a poem or song lyrics to fit the mood.
He is my go-to masseur after having tried several masseurs on this website.
You will be very happy that you hired him!

Session was at the therapists studio.
I booked Online, received a confirmation email and text instructions where to go. Parking was in guest spot in gated apartment community.
Therapist was professional, asked what I needed, gave time and privacy to change. Heated table, clean sheet and drape. I booked 90 minutes, and spent 95 full minutes on the table, he doesn’t cheat you out of time. The table is comfortable. He spent quality time on my neck as I had asked. He offered tea on patio at the end of the session, I didn’t have time so I used The shower attached to the massage room, used a Visa card to pay.
Will probably book again.
Good value for the money. Clean.
Nice, solid therapist.

I’ve been seeing Nick for regular massage therapy for about 6 months now. Each session is consistent, and he really takes the time before we begin to listen to what I need that day.
Most often my shoulders are locked up, and after a session with Nick I’m good for 3 or four days, until I yank something at the gym again and screw it up.
Also, I’m not a foot massage kind of guy, but he does something with my ankles where I feel like I can stand up straight with perfect posture afterward with no effort. I’ll keep booking him, and hopefully stop injuring myself at the gym.

Nick is truly passionate about his work.
He takes the time to curate an authentic, all-encompassing experience that has both a physical and spiritual impact.

He’s kind, compassionate, funny, and responsive, and intuitive - knowing when to lighten up, and when to lean in without direction.
This was a massage experience that truly speaks to the mind body connection.

Much like the many books he has in his home, his work speaks volumes.

My session today with Nick in his immaculate studio was sixty minutes of pure bliss. He is a true artist and his unique massage experience, which included traditional hands-on techniques in addition to hot stones, aromatherapy and weighted blankets, was deeply soothing and wonderfully invigorating. His touch is at once both strong and tender. And the use of guided imagery and even some spoken word affirmations was a lovely and enriching addition. I would recommend Nick without reservation. The best way I can describe the experience: unforgettable.

I have known Nick for some time but because of COVID and work I had not seen his new studio or him in about nine months. Today I booked the three hour session and I cannot begin to tell you how incredible an experience this was. Nick has set up an oasis in his beautiful apartment that is inviting from the moment you walk in. He thought of everything to make you comfortable from the moment you prepare and throughout the massage. The mini facial and paraffin treatment were something I’d never experienced paired with a bodywork session. It’s massage. It’s meditation. It’s relaxing. It’s rejuvenating. It’s perfect. Nick is a beautiful person all around and I cannot wait to make this a regular treat for myself. Don’t hesitate, book today.

I’ve been seeing Nick for 6 months for regular massages twice a month. I used to go to a Spa before lockdown, but actually prefer this now. Amenities are top notch: heated table, private bathroom and shower, private patio for after sessions. He’s always punctual and the quality of the bodywork is extremely consistent from session to session. What I appreciate most is the studio always being immaculately clean and his unhurried approach.

This past week I’d pinched a nerve and couldn’t wait for my regular appointment. Nick made time to see me and, thank god, I left his place able to stand up straight without pain.

The aromatherapy is nice, the ‘soundscape’ is really relaxing, but I’d still go to him without all of that. I highly recommend Nick if you’re looking for a regular reliable massage therapist.

My massage with Nick was pretty much everything I could have asked for and then some. Scheduling was quick and easy with his booking site (so smart), his place was easy to find, and from the moment he met me at the door I could tell it was going to be a great experience.

This was one of the first times I've had a massage quite like this, and he couldn't have made me feel more comfortable. His variety of techniques is really unique (hot stones = magic), it was definitely what I needed -- the relaxation lasted and I felt a few inches taller for the rest of the week. I told my friend ‘When was the last time you got a massage that was relaxing AND actually deep at the same time?”

Also, he's a kind guy, but you can definitely get a taste of that from his photos. Wonderful energy, strong hands, an immaculate and gorgeous private massage space!

Again, I had a fantastic time, and I'll definitely be back!

Nick is the epitome of laid back California dude. His masterful flowing massage technique, deep pressure, and easy personality made for an extremely relaxing session. Great atmosphere. Great person. Thanks Nick!
