Overview
This massage is a high-level experience—crafted, focused, and not for everyone. My deep tissue work is precise, intentional, and designed to relieve tension at its source, leaving your body feeling restored and rebalanced.
NYC-based, with a limited and often traveling schedule. I keep my availability selective—when it aligns, it’s worth securing.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I provide a space grounded in professionalism, respect, and inclusivity. No judgment—just a calm, comfortable environment where you can fully relax.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a massage from Ruben and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, he made me feel at ease and comfortable. He was very warm and welcoming.
The massage itself was incredible. He had an excellent technique and was able to target all the areas where I had tension and soreness. Throughout the massage, he was attentive to my needs and made sure I was comfortable at all times.
He applied just the right amount of pressure, and I could feel my muscles relaxing and loosening up under his skilled hands.
I highly recommend Ruben. He is a true professional who takes pride in his work, and he has a wonderful energy and calming presence that will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

I just had my first massage session with Ruben … wow!
No clock-watcher he! Mellow music, great vibe, great connection.
His work was very conscientious and he kept checking in with me to make sure the pressure was just right.
His height and big hands just added to the experience. I’m a tall guy and appreciate the strength and reach of another tall man.
Time spent with Ruben is time well spent! Do your body a favor and schedule with him!
