This is Elevated Bodywork.
I believe bodywork is essential to living a good and balanced life. A single, custom-tailored session is informed by over 10 years of experience. My background is in luxury spas, healing retreat centers and numerous continuing education workshops. Through my professional career I have worked with thousands of bodies.
I guarantee a clean and professional environment in which to provide intentional, skilled bodywork. My holistic sessions use organic oil, an extra wide heated table, hot stones

Rusty is very good! He utilized a combination of ashiatsu, stretching and heat therapy to totally revitalize my back. I found him to be warm, light hearted and competent. I am so grateful I finally found a massage therapist that gives an effective, relaxing massage. Thanks Rusty!

Rusty is incredible, as usual. I always look forward to his visits to San Francisco because I just can not find a better massage. His technique, talent and energy are unmatched.

Rusty was kind and his massages are skilled. It was deep without being painful. He is definitely a talent!

Rusty’s description of his bodywork is very accurate. He is talented, deep and he put me at ease. My shoulders and neck feel dropped and the muscles softer. I appreciated the way he elevated my hunched shoulders to go deeper. He used stones, hot towels and a very nice oil. Super effective!

I have been seeing Stevie for several months now and my body couldn’t be happier! He is skilled, warm, strong and present. He has some techniques I haven’t experienced before … putting me on my side to get into my neck and his face massage is 100. Also the massage table is cozy!

The session I had was very good … beautiful actually. Receiving a massage with Rusty was great because he is present, intuitive and was seamless in his approach. The style wasn’t one I had received before. Bravo! 5 stars and more.

Woah! I feel like I have stumbled across a true gem. I have never received such skilled massage. Rusty is very sweet and nurturing in his sessions. The sessions have also been very spa like : hot table, hot towels, hot stones and hot oil. I feel lucky to have found Rusty and even luckier that I get to spend the winter with his rituals. Thank you Rusty , for your magic ! You were unexpected and I look forward to our work together.

Rusty is an extremely talented massage therapist. He is professional, warm, provides great pressure and clearly has experience. The space was comfortable and has a shower. The music was also great!
