Overview

Hello Guys,
My massage practice is built on strong hands and a caring touch. Whether you are recovering from an intense workout or simply need to unplug for a couple of hours, your massage is shaped around what your body needs that day.

I bring 22 years of experience and I am certified and licensed. My trainings include Swedish, deep tissue, and sports massage, and I draw from other therapeutic techniques depending on what I find in your muscles. I... have the strength to really work into the tissue when you want it, and I check in along the way so we land in the right pressure.

All body types are genuinely welcome. Every age, every shape, every size, treated with the same care and respect. I am proud to serve the LGBTQ+ community.

Your session takes place in a calm, private space with soft lighting, quiet music, a professional table, premium unscented lotion, and fresh linens every time.

Carl is a great find and very professional massage. From the start, his calming presence relaxes you and puts you at ease. He has a steady firm touch. Carl checks in to make sure that he is addressing your areas in need of attention and is always open to adjusting pressure upon request. Only the highest of recommendations. Definitely will be a return customer.

I have been seeing Carl for massage on a regular basis for the past 6 years. He is the best in Palm Springs. Typically do therapeutic/sports massage. His massages are always outstanding - appropriate pressure (medium to deep) and hits all the right spots. Great hands and great technique. He is super easy to communicate and always professional. I highly recommend him for a terrific deep tissue massage/sports. Carl is a superb masseur!

What a treat to have had a massage from Carl! He is really skilled and thoughtful about comfort and pressure. He taught me some new stretches that I can use at home. I went for the 90 min massage and fell sound asleep. If you have a chance to book Carl go for it!
