Overview

I’m 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 take pride in creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and inclusive—especially for the LGBTQIA+ community.

My work blends Swedish and deep tissue techniques, with a slow, attentive approach that gives your body time to truly unwind. Every session is customized in real time based on what your body needs, rather than following a... routine. Whether you’re coming in to release tension or simply reset, the goal is for you to leave feeling lighter, grounded, and at ease.

Heated table, hot towels, and aromatherapy are included, with optional enhancements like dry body brushing, cupping, and gua sha to support circulation and deepen the experience.

For the fastest scheduling, please use the booking link at the top of the page. You’re always welcome to text with questions.

This is a professional therapeutic practice. Please be respectful—any inappropriate inquiries will be declined to protect the integrity of my practice and license.

Testimonials

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

April 03, 2026 in Houston, TX (in-studio)

Truly one of the best massages I’ve had. The pressure was perfect, and John was incredibly in tune with what my body needed throughout the session. I left feeling completely relaxed and restored. I’ll absolutely be back and highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier experience.

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.
