Testimonials

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

Nov. 19, 2024 in Bakersfield, CA (in-studio)

I’ve been going to Joseph for massage therapy since early 2025, and honestly, it just keeps getting better every single time. Joseph is professional, well-mannered, and great at communicating. Even if I get behind on messages, he always responds quickly and keeps everything running smoothly.

One thing I love about Joseph’s sessions is the atmosphere he creates. His studio is always fresh and welcoming, with high-quality candles lit and soothing aromatherapy filling the room. It’s such a relaxing space! He also uses Biotone massage cream, which is amazing — it’s not like those cheap, greasy creams you get elsewhere. He invests in top-notch products for his clients, and it makes all the difference.

Another small but thoughtful touch is that Joseph always has candies, room-temperature water, and a mini fridge stocked with cold water and other drinks. He goes the extra mile to ensure you’re hydrated, even checking in after your session to remind you to keep drinking water throughout the day.

Cleanliness is a big deal for me, and Joseph’s studio is spotless. His restroom is always immaculate, and there’s even a shower with fresh towels and high-quality soap available. These little details show how much he truly cares about his clients’ comfort.

One time, my back was really hurting, and he added an extra 15 minutes to focus on that area — at no extra charge! After the session, he even gave me a muscle rub to help with the soreness. It’s the kind of thoughtful care you don’t find everywhere.

What really sets Joseph apart is his towel warmer. After the massage, he uses warm towels to clean off any remnants of massage cream or oil, leaving you feeling completely refreshed. I’ve never seen anyone else do this, and it’s such a unique and impressive touch.

With all the amenities he provides — at no extra cost — Joseph could easily charge more, but you can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and wants them to have the best experience possible. I’ve recommended him to a few friends, and they’ve all had nothing but great things to say.

If you’re looking for a massage therapist who goes above and beyond, Joseph is the one. I can’t recommend him enough!

I recently enjoyed a massage with you and was very impressed. The room was professional and inviting, with a perfect ambiance thanks to the essential oils, soothing aroma, candles, and the waterfall. The cream you used left me feeling great and refreshed. I was so relaxed that I wanted to take a nap at home, but I had other things to do. You’re not only skilled at what you do, but also very kind. I just wanted to let you know that you did a fantastic job and that I think you're a really great person.

What a commendable man! He possesses a pleasing appearance and polished demeanor and exudes warmth, approachability, and excellent conversational skills. Upon my readiness, he inquired about any specific areas of concern to tailor his approach accordingly, ensuring optimal comfort and satisfaction. Opting for an outcall service to my residence for convenience, I appreciated Joseph's flexibility in accommodating my schedule, especially given his availability in Palm Springs. Prompt in his arrival, he meticulously arranged the ambiance, providing soothing music, fresh linens, coverings, and even a candle for added relaxation. His massage technique was truly distinctive, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and revitalized. Initially planning to attend to other tasks post-massage, I found myself indulging in a brief nap due to the profound sense of relaxation induced by his skilled hands.

I recently had my first-ever massage experience, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. Initially apprehensive about the idea of someone kneading my muscles, I decided to give it a shot from a local affordable masseur. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease.

The ambiance of the room was incredibly tranquil, with soft lighting and soothing music playing in the background. Joseph welcomed me warmly and took the time to address any concerns I had, instantly putting me at ease.

One of the aspects that stood out to me was the high quality of the products used during the massage. From the massage oils to the lotions, everything felt luxurious and nourishing to the skin. Additionally, the incorporation of aroma therapy added an extra layer of relaxation to the experience, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

Throughout the session, Joseph maintained a perfect balance of pressure, ensuring that I was comfortable at all times. They were attentive to my needs and tailored the massage to target areas of tension, leaving me feeling incredibly relaxed by the end of the session.

Overall, my first-time massage experience was nothing short of amazing. Not only was it affordable, but it also provided me with a sense of comfort and relaxation that I didn't know I needed. I would highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a rejuvenating escape from the stresses of everyday life.
