My formal education and continuous study integrate diverse modalities, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupressure, Alexander Technique, Structural Integration... (Rolfing), Myofacial Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, PNF Stretching, and techniques like Swedish, Sports, Injury Prevention/Recovery Manual Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, and Somatic Healing.

Testimonials

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

Jan. 08, 2018 in Los Angeles, CA (in-studio)

To begin, Chad kindly offered me water as we discussed my activity level and problem areas. Not only did he walk me though exercises I could do on my own, received a thorough deep tissue massage on and around the area along with full body massage. Very relaxing and positive experience. A+

Chad is highly professional and knowledgeable in his craft. Due to my schedule, it's hard to get to a physical therapist/sports massage during business hours, so a surgery recommended contacting him and I was able to get an evening appointment! Did not disappoint and I will be back for another session.

I hate to give Chad this compliment only because I'd like to keep him for myself and not share, but it's only fair to give credit where it's due. Chad Is a true professional of his craft! He can feel the problem areas of your body and he zeros in with little instruction. His massage is tailored exactly to your needs and he has a strong technique for those with athletic bodies who require an adequate deep tissue massage on a regular basis like myself. Every effort was taken to ensure my comfort, and I was extremely satisfied with the quality, pressure, and specific detail tailored toward my massage. I highly recommend Chad to any person who values a true massage and prefers the same satisfying effect time after time.

For awhile I had been looking for a professional bodywork/massage therapist that could address the muscle issues I have been enduring. No one I have tried seemed to help, but not anymore. After a friend referred Chad, no to be dramatic, my life has changed. I just one session, the guy was able to put me on my road to recover. His knowledge of what he does speaks for itself, but the technique... It shows he know what he is doing.. I will for sure go back. And I have been referring him to all my friends. 5 stars professional.

My massage with Chad was exactly what I needed. He's a Dow to earth dude, well spoken. His massage area was very clean and put together. But more importantly, his massage was great. After numerous bad experiences with other, less experienced masseurs, I feel like I finally found someone who can get me back to feeling right again. His amazing hands found where my troubled areas were and focused on them throughout the massage. He intuitively felt out knots and worked them out at the deepest pressure possible (On a scale of 1-10... Id want a pressure of 12.) but he never pushed me past what I could handle. My back is too messed up from the gym to fix in one session, but I will def be back.
