Overview

I am a licensed massage therapist based in Houston, offering personalized bodywork focused on relaxation, tension relief, and overall well-being. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and proudly provide a safe, respectful, and inclusive space for the gay/LGBTQIA+ community.

My training includes Swedish and deep tissue techniques, allowing me to tailor each session to your specific needs—whether you're looking to ease chronic tension or simply take time to unwind. My approach is slow, attentive, and intentional, giving your body time... to release while creating a calm, grounded experience.

Each session is customized in real time, based on how your body responds, rather than following a fixed routine. My goal is for you to leave feeling lighter, more relaxed, and fully reset.

Text is the best way to reach me. When reaching out, please include your Name, preferred session length, and time so I can respond efficiently. Professional inquiries only. Please plan ahead - I am unable to accommodate last minute appointments.

New clients are required to complete a brief intake form and agree to standard cancellation and no-show policies prior to booking.

Testimonials

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

March 20, 2026 in Houston, TX (in-studio)

I was able to get in last minute for a one-hour Swedish session, and I’m really glad I did. The space is clean, private, and has a welcoming, masculine feel that immediately put me at ease.

The massage itself was excellent — very relaxing with just the right amount of pressure. You can tell he knows what he’s doing and really pays attention to how your body responds. I left feeling completely reset and will definitely be back.
