Overview

Enjoy a refined mobile massage experience brought directly to your hotel or private residence throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area. I am a California Certified Massage Therapist offering professional, customized bodywork in a private and comfortable setting.
My techniques include Swedish, deep tissue, sports massage, Shiatsu, Thai massage, neuromuscular work and assisted stretching. Each session is tailored to your individual needs, including pressure, pace and areas of focus.
Your session can focus on deep muscular work, relief from tension... and stress, improved mobility or relaxing full-body massage. I adjust the treatment according to what your body needs that day.
For every appointment, I bring a wide heated professional massage table, supportive cushioning, premium spa linens and relaxing music. This creates a comfortable massage environment directly in your hotel or residence.
Fresh linens, careful hygiene, thoughtful preparation and attention to detail are an important part of every session.
Gay and LGBT clients are always welcome. Privacy, comfort and discretion are central to every session. Professionalism, respect and quality bodywork remain my priorities from the moment I arrive until your session is complete.
Same-day appointments may be available.

Testimonials

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

Sept. 16, 2026 in Napa, CA (mobile)

Thank you for the massage — that was honestly one of the most interesting and impressive sessions I’ve had. Your technique is very different from a typical massage, and there were several things you did that I had never experienced before. I could really feel how much thought and skill went into the way you worked on my body. The combination of techniques, movement and stretching felt incredibly effective, and afterward I felt completely different — lighter, looser and deeply relaxed. It was definitely not an ordinary massage. Really great experience, and I’m already looking forward to the next session.

I had a great experience with Vlad. He arrived right on time, was friendly and professional, and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. Vlad has a great sense of what the client needs. He pays attention to how your body responds and adjusts his pressure and techniques throughout the massage rather than following the same routine for everyone. He seemed to know exactly when an area needed deeper work and when to use a gentler approach. The massage was thorough and very well balanced. He combined deeper work, stretching and relaxing techniques, focusing extra attention on the areas where I was carrying the most tension. Nothing felt rushed, and the entire session felt personalized to what my body needed that day. By the end of the massage I felt noticeably looser, relaxed and refreshed. I really appreciated Vlad’s attention to detail and his ability to adapt the session to me. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him.
