My practice is built on a foundation of wellness, body awareness,... and genuine inclusivity. I provide a safe, respectful, and welcoming space for everyone, and I am proud to serve and support the LGBTQ+ community.

Testimonials

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

Feb. 14, 2026 in San Francisco, CA (in-studio)

This was my first massage with Thiago. We had exchanged texts earlier to clarify what kind of massage I needed. Because I was taking public transportation and there were delays, I was running late. Thiago was very responsive and flexible, which really helped reduce the stress.
When I arrived, I was greeted warmly and offered bottled water. He checked in with me about special areas that needed attention or if there were areas that needed to be avoided. Thiago provides a professional massage from head to toe. I appreciated that he checked in with me several times about the pressure. I highly recommend him and look forward to setting up my next appointment. If you have the opportunity to book Thiago, don’t hesitate to do so. Grazie Thiago!

Thiago is amazing. From the moment the massage session started, I felt comfortable and well taken care of. His massage and bodywork technique is confident, skillful, and very therapeutic. He knows exactly where my muscle tension builds up and how to relieve it. I left feeling relaxed, lighter, and genuinely refreshed. I’ll definitely be booking another massage with him again.

It’s been two days, and we still talk about him like he was a legend — the kind of person who walked into a room and somehow changed the atmosphere. Warmer. Softer. Calmer.
His name was Thiago. Just Thiago — no last name needed, as if he belonged to that one word alone.

From the moment he stepped into the room, grounded and present, everything shifted. He carried an energy — calm, confident, almost magnetic — that put everyone at ease and quieted the mind. Time didn’t feel normal around him; it slowed down.

He spoke little, just enough to check in and make sure everything was right. His hands did the rest — skilled, precise, and intuitive. He found tension we didn’t even realize we were carrying and released it with a rhythm that felt natural and intentional. It wasn’t just a massage. It was a craft.

He didn’t just work on the body; he seemed to understand it. He knew when to apply more strength, when to be gentle, and when to pause and let stillness do the healing. There was a sense of safety in his approach — as if each movement was both grounding and restorative.

No one else has quite matched that presence since. Others try — and some are very good — but they don’t have that same calm focus, that quiet depth. Thiago felt less like someone simply trained, and more like someone truly meant for this work.

We left that room feeling renewed, as if we’d experienced something rare.
We know we’ll see him again — maybe not as often as we’d like, maybe as if he belonged more to memory than reality. But every so often, one of us will sigh mid-massage and say the same thing:

“He’s good … but he’s not Thiago.”

Highly recommend Thiago! His massage and bodywork are truly exceptional — he’s incredibly gifted and skilled at what he does. A true professional with a kind, respectful soul who makes you feel completely at ease. You won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to book another session with him soon!

Thiago provided what I can honestly say was the best massage I've ever experienced. His technique was exceptional and the entire session was deeply relaxing. He was professional, attentive, and created a comfortable atmosphere throughout. I left feeling a sense of deep relaxation that has lasted for days afterward. If you're looking for a truly outstanding massage experience, I cannot recommend Thiago highly enough.

I had my first massage experience with Thiago this past weekend, and I'm glad I took the plunge. Thiago has a busy schedule, but he squeezed me in, for which I was grateful, especially as a new client, as I've had a multi-month build-up of stress and tension that I was eager to finally address. Upon arrival, Thiago proved very polite, considerate, and welcoming which quickly put me at ease. During the first minutes of the experience, Thiago checked in to ensure the pressure felt good, and that the environmentals, from room temperature to noise levels, were allowing me to fully relax. Thiago readily got attuned with areas of concern that appeared to need the most attention. As with any great massage, the time flew by. While I know I would have enjoyed a longer session, especially in the final minutes, I left feeling exceptionally relaxed with a sense of inner peace. There are so many practitioners to choose from, so it's heartening when you meet one that you feel a strong, genuine connection to. That was the case with Thiago, which will likely send me back soon for a repeat, which I trust will be just as enjoyable.

Such a warm, welcoming, and attentive massage and bodywork experience that exceeded my expectations. Thiago is very friendly, has a kind personality, and understands exactly what I need. I can’t wait for the next appointment!
