Pierce greeted me with such Salutations. I immediately felt comfortable; the Studio is warm and inviting, with a heated table, oils, and creams. Pierce used a combination of modalities with a bit of chiropractic technique which left me feeling like I had woken from a long sleep and reinvigorated. The effects of his excellent massage and unique techniques have me feeling like a brand new man, and I love this feeling. He is an experienced masseur and has an innate sense of zeroing in on and identifying problem areas. I highly recommend Pierce as he is truly a "Master of the healing" I cannot wait for my next Massage. Again, thank you, Pierce!

My first experience with a certified massage therapist will be one that I will soon not forget. From our initial phone contact, Pierce was professional, collegial, and transparent. He briefly explained his philosophy and approach to massage and talked about its benefits. He was informative without being ostentatious. I felt an immediate sense of respect and trust.
When we agreed to a specific date and time, Pierce provided accurate directions to his studio and parking instructions. Upon arrival, Pierce greeted me with a friendly smile and a confident handshake. His quiet yet audible voice created harmony with the soft meditative music playing in the background.
Pierce invited me to the studio where everything was set; heated table made with clean crisp sheets, Himalayan salt lamps illuminated on a table off to the side, temperature comfortable.
Pierce inquired as to any specific areas of concentration and/or those that may be injured. He began the session with some slow and deliberate stretching (legs and lower back) based on my needs. He gently manipulated my legs, stretching out the muscles in my lower back.
Throughout the massage, Pierce provided explanations of his technique and checked my comfort level of his pressure touch. His ability to “read” my body language and reactions to his touch were spot on. He provided deep tissue in areas where he could feel tightness; he used varied levels of pressure (from strong, deliberate, deep strokes to gentle touches) to activate and yet relax areas that seemed dormant.
I was impressed with his sense of body needs; head, scalp, temples, upper neck and feet, toes – places that many may glaze over, were as important as the rest of my body. Near the end of the session, Pierce administered some torso stretches to stretch out the shoulders and chest.
Finally, he provided a hot towel treatment on my shoulders and back … a soothing treat to a superbly relaxing experience. I have already scheduled a second session and highly recommend Pierce as a professional, genuine, and talented massage therapist.

I can't speak highly enough of Pierce. I had some questions for him, which I sent an email before arranging an appointment. He contacted me promptly and tried to find a time that suited my schedule. He then called me to go over some schedule options, give directions, and check any questions.
Upon arriving at his studio, he warmly greeted me, and the massage room was very soothing. He took the time to explain some techniques he'd use and double-check to make sure you are comfortable with all his techniques, the environment, etc. It's hard to describe the experience in words.
He has the most incredible hands with the perfect touch I've ever encountered. As other people have mentioned... he reads your body well and finds just what it needs. I felt like my body was falling apart before, and now I feel like a new person. Pierce's technique was perfect for my idea of an excellent massage. I recommend it to anyone. It was worth every penny and then some.

Pierce knew from the feel of my muscles which areas were the tightest and sorest
My massage with Pierce was a great experience. The moves and techniques were all exactly the right touch. I work out and run a lot and don't do much stretching. Being in my 40's, my body doesn't bounce back quickly like it used to. Pierce's confident approach and knowledge enabled him to focus on the areas that needed to be massaged without telling him. He knew from the feel of my muscles which areas were the tightest and sorest, and he knew how to work them. He worked hard enough to break up the knots but gentle to avoid pain.
Anyone who has given a massage knows it can be quite a workout for the person giving it. Yet Piece was able to go non-stop for over two hours. His strength and knowledge of proper techniques were very apparent.
I left feeling great, and two days later, I am still feeling more flexible and energetic. I felt the improvement at the gym, also. I would highly recommend Pierce to massage regulars and those who are new to the massage scene; you won't regret it.

Relaxing the tension from my body and soothing muscles stressed from vigorous exercise
As an avid cyclist, riding an average of 250 miles a week, I know the benefits of a good massage.
Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing an exquisite massage by Pierce. He is a confident, sincere, and warm individual. His relaxed, easy-going style set the stage for what was to become a memorable massage for me. The atmosphere was set with soft music, low lighting, and the most comfortable room temperature imaginable.
His warm, masterful hands soon began to work their magic on me. They began relaxing the tension from my body, and soothing muscles stressed and sore by days of vigorous exercise. His technique is smooth and precisely the right amount of pressure to key areas of my muscles and joints. This was assuring to me and allowed me to become more relaxed and comfortable in this environment. His skillful artistic massage allowed me to experience the serenity of mind and body.
This was only my first massage by Pierce, and I look forward to many, many more.

Pierce took me to the lower level studio where everything was set; heated table made with clean crisp sheets, candles illuminated on a table off to the side, temperature comfortable. He invited me to undress to my level of comfort, while he stepped out of the room, giving me the space and the respect to acclimate to the surroundings.
Pierce inquired as to any specific areas of concentration and/or those that may be injured and/or off limits. He began the session with some slow and deliberate stretching (legs and lower back) based on my needs. He used his arms and legs to gently manipulate my legs, stretching out the muscles in my lower back.
Throughout the massage, Pierce provided explanations of his technique and checked my comfort level of his pressure touch. His ability to “read” my body language and reactions to his touch were spot on. He provided deep tissue in areas where he could feel tightness; he used varied levels of pressure (from strong, deliberate, deep strokes to feather-like strokes) to excite and yet relax areas that seemed dormant.
I was impressed with his sense of body need; head, scalp, temples, upper neck and feet, toes – places that many may glaze over, were as important as the rest of my body. Near the end of the session Pierce administered some torso stretches – using bear-hug-type maneuvers to stretch out shoulders and chest.
Finally, he provided a hot towel treatment on my shoulders and back … a soothing closure to a superb relaxing experience. I have already scheduled a second session and highly recommend Pierce as a professional, genuine, and talented massage therapist.

I have experienced massages around the world, in America , Europe, Hong Kong , Thailand and the Philippines – range from amateurs who have basic skills and just love to massage and professionals at nationally renowned day spas, Pierce ranks in the top. The extremely pleasant atmosphere, the skill of his hands and arms, and his welcoming personality combine to provide for a top-notch experience. His knowledge of how and where to massage / stretching and the timing to do so was exquisite. One intangible was, unlike a professional spa, Pierce didn't have a timer ticking in the background, making me wonder, "Is my time almost up?” He took the time to provide his talent without that gnawing in the back of my mind. I left completely satisfied in a way I hadn't been by any professional.
