Overview

Experience the transformative power of touch with my expertly crafted Swedish-style relaxation massages, infused with the healing elements of Thai massage and Lomi Lomi techniques. As a seasoned massage practitioner servicing the greater San Francisco Bay area, I've dedicated over a decade to providing personalized treatments that alleviate stress, reduce pain, and promote deep relaxation.

** I am based in Berkeley, Ca but am able to set up my own table in your home or hotel all over the Bay. **

Each session is tailored to your unique needs, focusing on areas of tension and discomfort. I employ a combination of gentle strokes, deep tissue work, and targeted pressure points to release muscle knots, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being. My goal is to create a serene and nurturing environment where you can truly unwind and rejuvenate.

Beyond physical relaxation, massage offers numerous benefits for your mental and emotional health. It can reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and boost your mood. Additionally, regular massage can improve circulation, enhance flexibility, and support your body's natural healing processes.

Testimonials

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

Jan. 03, 2026 in South San Francisco, CA (mobile)

Troy provided a solid, professional massage that addressed the areas I asked him to focus on. The pressure was consistent, the techniques were effective, and I felt clear improvement in tightness and mobility afterward. He was punctual, well-prepared, and easy to work with. I’d book again and would recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality bodywork.

The session unfolded like a quiet conversation between body and breath. Troy’s touch was unhurried and attentive, moving with an awareness that felt deeply intuitive, as if he were following an internal map of where my body had been holding on. Each technique flowed seamlessly into the next — grounded pressure giving way to gentle stretches — creating a sense of spaciousness I hadn’t felt in a long time. As the work progressed, layers of tension softened, and with them a subtle emotional weight I didn’t realize I was carrying. Time seemed to slow, and my nervous system settled into a calm, receptive state. By the end, I felt realigned, present, and quietly renewed. This was not just physical relief, but a thoughtful, intentional form of bodywork that stayed with me long after the session ended.

Troy has a gift for finding and releasing tension in a way that feels intuitive and intentional. His combination of Deep Tissue pressure with Thai stretches gave me lasting relief from back and shoulder pain that had been bothering me for weeks. This isn’t your average massage — this is bodywork from someone who clearly knows anatomy and how to use his hands with precision. Absolutely worth it.

I’ve had many massages before, but this one was truly special. The routine was familiar, but the extra level of comfort and care I felt throughout made it stand out. Troy's nurturing touch helped me relax and get lost in the moment, making sure I felt supported and at ease every step of the way. The atmosphere was calm and inviting, which made it so easy to let go of any tension. I left not only feeling physically rejuvenated, but emotionally cared for as well. It’s the perfect balance of routine and extra comfort that I didn’t even know I needed. — [Eric]

I've always been hesitant about getting massages, but I decided to give it a try with Troy. I was immediately put at ease by his friendly and professional demeanor. The massage itself was incredible. He focused on areas of tension and worked out all the knots in my muscles. I left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. I highly recommend Troy to anyone looking for a top-notch massage experience.

Few massages are memorable. Some are good, some are very good, but this massage is outstanding! It is a massage with a therapist who is intensely present and connected to his work. There are no wasted movements, or fillers. This is 100% massage with intention and skill. It is not without an incredible connection and sensitivity, however. This therapist possesses warmth and superior technical chops. I highly recommend a visit. You will have zero regrets. You will experience relation, comfort, therapy, connection, and an experience to long for again and again.

Wow - awesome guy, awesome technique, awesome studio. He is also a circus performer and it's obvious. Looking forward to more massages.
