Overview

Take a needed break from the chaos of daily life. My goal is simple: to give you the best massage experience possible. With a 6’3” hand-to-hand reach, it can feel like two therapists working on you at once! All are welcome here — whether you identify as gay, straight, bi, non-binary, or trans.

My studio is located just minutes south of downtown Seattle. Through an in-person conversation and assessment, we’ll customize your session to meet your individual needs and... preferences. I incorporate Swedish and various other modalities in my massage practice, and together we’ll find the approach that works perfectly for you.

My sessions are designed to calm, relax, and restore balance — combining therapeutic focus with mindful energy work to create a truly rejuvenating experience. Each massage is shaped by intuition, technique, and the goal of helping you feel renewed both physically and emotionally.

The studio is clean, comfortable, and Bohemian Chic — offering ambiance amid the energy of the city. Soft music, aromatherapy, and attention to detail make every visit an escape from the demands of everyday life.

Text to schedule your session. Last-minute appointments work well, and I’m on call daily from noon until midnight. I look forward to helping you unwind, recharge, and leave feeling grounded and refreshed.

“I saw David in July, and the experience was excellent.

He came directly to my hotel, which made everything so easy and stress-free. Being able to rest afterward without having to drive was perfect.
The massage was awesome. It felt like I was at a spa while being in my own room and I got to adjust the heat in my Space and David was good with that because I like it kind of warm..

Thank you, David — I’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

I scheduled a one hour massage with Dave, when I got there, he space was pleasantly air conditioned, ( it was very hot outside), The table was warm and David made his introductions. I felt very comfortable, with no sense of being talked down to, or judged, (I’m a bit insecure with strangers). Very easy to talk with, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s tall, and nice to see, and be massaged by. Once he started the massage he had me breathe and center so that I could go into a more relaxing place. This had to have been one of the better massages I’ve had, and I will definitely see him again.

I tried making an appointment three times, always last minute, as my schedule is nuts. Everytime he told me, he was already booked for the time I needed. However, he did text me and said he had a cancellation, and if I could get to him, at the time he had available, he’d be happy to work with me. The massage was better than I had anticipated, and he is super friendly, easy to feel comfortable with, knowledgeable in his techniques, with a space that actually felt like the moroccan spa. I went to several years ago. I will not try to book with him last minute, and I realized now why it was hard to get in to see him.

I had David come to my hotel room. It was pretty late after a long flight so I didn’t want to go anywhere. It’s cheaper to do that than if I would’ve taken an Uber to him, which is surprising. His massage skills are excellent, and it was a great way to start my trip. I look forward when I can see him again.

David asked me to write a review so here goes. I was looking for a massage therapist on the site prior to my visit. I looked at David’s information and decided to book with him. His place is not the closest to where I was, however, just just 10 minutes away and his massage was awesome. Perfect pressure and focused on my needs. . I get a lot of massages and this has to be one of the top 5 five. He has a very creative, inviting calm studio, with a new age vibe, mixed with a Middle Eastern feel and ambient music. I’ll rebook next time I’m in Seattle!

Hey David, you asked me to write a review and I’m glad to. I drove down from Bellingham area because we don’t have any local Good Massage therapists up here and I read over Davids reviews and I was super impressed and I want to say that, he lives up to the reviews that I read. His healing arts center is very comfortable. It is as he describes warm and inviting and cozy of all at the same time. He is a built guy who knows what he’s doing and he massaged me exactly how I asked him. He made me feel comfortable right away, and has a quick wit. He is professional, and his massage style was definitely his own. It didn’t feel like a mechanical, corporate massage. (Which I’ve paid more for, so it felt like David is a great value).
He’s tall could actually touch my scalp and also touch my foot at the same time. It was definitely worth the drive And I will be back.
Thank you Brian B

David is the real deal. Right away I felt at ease, and the moment the massage started I could I could tell he knows what he is doing. My lower back and shoulders were killing me and he fixed me right up. Amazing healing hands. I will be back.

Oct. 04, 2023 in Seattle, WA (in-studio)

So Dave is the real deal, very competent and knows what he is doing. My lower back was killing me and his massage skills, fixed me right up. Amazing healing hands. I will be back.

I’ve seen Dave infrequently, as I only get to the great PNW, every few years. When Dave gave me the address for his newest studio, it showed much closer to downtown Seattle, than where he was on the west side. Google maps image sort of looked like an old building, so I was a bit skeptical, however, I’ve only been in the best hands when he has worked on me, which is why I didn’t let the old building stop me from the short Uber ride. I also see this is a historic landmark. Enough of that. The massage was performed on a heated, flannel Drapped professional table. His massages are more about the energy, overall results, of releasing the stress I carry around, and I leave rejuvenated. I find with any good massage, I can have some pain, but the next day. I felt great!

I was visiting Seattle, and decided to get a massage. I texted a couple and found David got back to me right away. He gave me a great massage, and I could tell he actually loved what he was doing! If I come back to Seattle, I will book with David.

March 02, 2023 in Seattle, WA (in-studio)

I didn’t realize what I’ve been missing these past few years. I’ve always just done walk in massages and happy to have found Dave on this site. I will be back, for sure!

I have been seeing Dave, everytime I visit Seattle. His new location is very convenient to where I usually stay, which is the Capitol Hill region. (His location is a couple miles just south of downtown). He always provides me with an excellent massage. I get massages all over the world, and I will say, nothing compares to the way David understands my body. I will let him work his magic, and I leave feeling like a new man! He is very easy to talk with, pleasant to look at, prompt text replies, and of course I will return each time I visit.

This is my first time back with one of my favorites, since the beginning of lockdown. The location of his massage space (Georgetown), just a minute south of downtown Seattle, is much easier for me, ( than West Seattle), since I live on the east side. I will be back, again and again. Here’s my “thumbs up” to Dave. (I did find I had to book in advance, to see him.)

David is truly an exceptional massage therapist his techniques are excellent and his space is so comforting the table is warm as his hands are as well. I’ve been having David work on me for about seven years. I know he’s been massaging longer than that but fortunately I found him after having quite a few others that were not nearly as capable. I am thankful to be in Davids care.

Oct. 01, 2020 in Seattle, WA (in-studio)

So thankful Dave has decided to start seeing clients again. ( I personally won’t see anyone else for massage). He is licensed and understands the seriousness of the pandemic. I was able to book a massage appointment and my body is grateful! My advice to his other lucky clients is to be sure to plan in advance. (If you want the best massage in Seattle, in my opinion)..Stay healthy!

David is a great guy, friendly, kind, great personality and gives a fantastic massage. He does a 5plus star job while making sure u get the massage that you want. ( and he doesn’t seem to watch the clock). He seems genuinely concerned about his clients and offers a super clean friendly setting. You can’t go wrong with David.

I had a great massage with David. I would highly recommend him.

Oct. 02, 2017 in Seattle, WA (in-studio)

Don’t miss to stop by Dave if you are visiting Seattle. I am sure if you live there so you have already figured out yourself how special Dave’s massage is. I have challenged Dave to give me a real deep tissue massage as he wrote about it in his profile. Dave have delivered one of the best deep tissue. In addition, he was kind enough to show me his art after cleaning up and taking a nice shower. I consider myself lucky to pick Dave’s massage among all others in this website.

July 30, 2017 in Seattle, WA (in-studio)

David's massage techniques involved an unusual consideration of your whole body even when he was focusing on a body part, compared to other masseurs that usually just work from part to part. This felt really satisfying and comfortable. Went to his place after a long-haul flight then totally got relaxed and ready for the jet lag. His place was very interesting and had a massage studio really comfortable and private.

Aug. 04, 2017 in Bellevue, WA (mobile)

Amazing skills, most therapeutic and relaxing massage I have ever received.

May 26, 2017 in Seattle, WA (in-studio)

Best masseur on this site. The massage and bodywork was strong, intentional, adaptive and relaxed. You won't find better. David is amazing. The only downside is traveling to west Seattle.

May 05, 2017 in Seattle, WA (in-studio)

I've seen Dave a couple of times now and each massage has been great. He's very friendly and has a great overall technique. His location is easy to get to and comfortable. Definitely a recommend.

Oct. 26, 2015 in Seattle, WA (in-studio)

What a great massage. It's always a bit daunting trying someone new, but I felt at ease almost immediately. I went in with my neck and shoulders extremely tense, and came out feeling like I was floating. Booking an appointment was easy; much easier than trying to book though one of those chain massage places (Massage Envy). I will definitely be a repeat customer.
