Testimonials

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

Nov. 16, 2024 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (in-studio)

Amazing is not praise enough for such a great massage. Erick knows what he is doing. His knowledge of massage goes well beyond. I felt as if his hands had a connection with my body. My experience was well beyond my expectations.

Erick is highly-skilled and a very intuitive therapist. I try to book a massage with him whenever he comes to town.

Highly recommended!

I saw Erick's ad while he was visiting Sarasota (where I am working for few weeks), so I decided to give him a try.
He was very accommodating for a last moment request and I went to his hotel. He is a friendly guy but mainly he gave me a very nice massage, with the good amount of strength, pressure and flow in between muscle groups.
After one hour I left relieved and my body really appreciated the knowledgeable touch of this strong man.
Thank you Erick!

As a nurse and a runner I spend most of my days on my feet and carry lots of tension in my legs, hips and lower back.

Ericks deep tissue massage is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. I also really appreciated the stretching and the time that Erick took to teach me some new stretches.

In one word: amazing. I highly recommend him!
