PERSONALIZED BODYWORK & WELLNESS — MANHATTAN (New York)
QR Code Link to This Post
Sometimes your body simply needs some attention — too much time at a desk, too much time at the gym, travel, training, stress, or just the accumulated tension of everyday life.
I’m an experienced male bodyworker offering individualized wellness and relaxation sessions in a quiet, private setting in Manhattan.
My background is a little different from the traditional spa route. I’m a former professional dancer and athlete and a longtime yoga practitioner. I originally trained and was licensed in Canada and later continued my bodywork education and hands-on study in Mexico.
That combination of bodywork and a lifetime spent working physically has given me a strong understanding of movement, flexibility, muscular tension, recovery, and the different ways people carry everyday stress in their bodies.
A PERSONALIZED APPROACH
No two bodies are the same, so I don't believe in giving everyone the same session.
Depending on your needs and preferences, my work can incorporate:
• Swedish-inspired relaxation bodywork
• Deeper, focused pressure where appropriate
• Shiatsu and acupressure techniques
• Assisted stretching and mobility work
• Slower restorative techniques for relaxation and stress reduction
Pressure and approach are always adapted to the individual. Before we begin, we'll talk about what you're looking for, areas where you tend to hold tension, your preferred pressure, and anything you'd like me to focus on or avoid.
Some clients are physically active and want to unwind after workouts, training, or long days on their feet. Others spend hours at a desk or travel frequently and feel stiff or tight. And sometimes people simply want to slow down, relax, and devote some time to their own well-being.
THE EXPERIENCE
Sessions take place in a clean, quiet and private Manhattan setting.
I provide a professional bodywork table, fresh linens, quality oils with unscented options available, soft music, and a comfortable environment where you can relax.
This is an independent practice rather than a busy spa or studio, so I’m able to keep sessions personal, attentive, and tailored to the individual.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I’m friendly, grounded and easygoing, while taking my work and professionalism seriously.
After spending several years focused on another career, I’ve returned to bodywork and am rebuilding my NYC practice. Over the years I’ve worked with dancers, athletes, active people, and clients from many different backgrounds who simply value taking care of themselves.
I work extensively with members of the LGBTQ+ community and strive to provide a welcoming and affirming environment. My practice is open to everyone.
Privacy and discretion are important to me, and I respect both for every client.
NEW CLIENTS WELCOME
For first-time clients, I generally ask a few simple questions about your work and activity level, pressure preferences, previous injuries or sensitivities, and what you're hoping to get out of the session. This allows me to personalize the experience appropriately.
If this sounds like what you're looking for, please reach out for additional information, current availability, session lengths, and rates.
Feel free to tell me a little about yourself and what you're looking for when you write. I'm always happy to answer questions before scheduling.
I look forward to hearing from you.
