Overview

Making space for your wholistic expression

Bringing you closer to your body is the goal.

My focus is mens health. If you are in search for a “Thorough” massage, I can assist. We will work together to meet your specific needs. In a session we focus on movement of the body with deep relaxation, and opening.

I have 18 years experience; And over 800 hours of training from the San Francisco school of massage. There is deep passion for men...’s health as a queer identified man that gives massage to my community. Detailed work on the hips and sacrum region has been and is a major focus in my work: Which has been greatly received: Although your neck and shoulders won’t be missed. I can offer precise and deep tissue work or gentle calming easeful work: a blissful escape is in your future. I work on men, women, LGBTQ, every creed color and race. I will welcome you into my space with a gracious smile and energy to match. I have 2 locations depending on the day of week. (Emeryville) not on map.

Hoping to see my community prosper through healing touch.

Nathaniel has a warm energy. A great smile. I got my first massage about 2 months ago. I’ve sense purchased a package. He learns my body each session with more depth. He combines deep tissue with relaxing touch and there is something about his energy that makes me melt under his hands and in his presence you won’t regret a session with this practitioner 10/10

“I have been getting massages from Nathaniel for over 5 years. I have been both to his studio and had him in my home. In both settings he creates a space that is comfortable, safe, and nurturing.
His massage has always been personal and directed to my needs. It has grown and changed over the years. His response to my needs can range form stretching, to deep tissues, and to softer touch. The reason for his ability to be flexible and so intuitive is because at his heart, Nateur is a healer. Being around him, you will see, feel, and receive positivity. He is authentic and will make you feel comfortable from the beginning. Trust Nathaniel with your body and you will be better.”

Nate,
Thanks for a great massage. I appreciate you taking good care to understand what I needed in a massage and to make me feel comfortable. The last stretch in the hip and glute was particularly noteworthy. It was in a place I thought I had been doing a good job myself in stretching. Overall, it was warm and relaxing, but strong when it needed to be.
I hope I brought you some good energy. As Nate sure did.
