Overview

**Please note: last minute (same day) appointments are usually NOT accommodated. For best results please book a day in advance.**

Hello! I am a clinically trained massage therapist who has been honing my skills for more than 10 years now. I've helped plenty of people with minor aches and pains to recovery from injury by specializing in trigger point therapy and deep tissue work. If you’ve ever had a massage and thought "that was nice but it didn...'t quite relieve the pain," try a session with me and see what real deep tissue work can be like!

As a member of the gay community, I know that massage therapy in typically straight spaces can sometimes be uncomfortable. I strive to provide a completely non judgemental therapeutic touch where everyone feels safe and accepted. A session with me will always come from a grounded and caring foundation.

I practice out of a private office space (no shower) near Horner Park where there is usually free parking available.

For quickest reply, please text or email. Thanks!

Testimonials

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

Aug. 15, 2023 in Chicago, IL (in-studio)

Ben brings a welcome blend of compassion and expertise to his practice. After just one massage session, my neck and shoulder area felt released of a lot of tension that had built up while sitting at a desk all day. He also provided helpful insights into other muscle groups that felt a little tight and, when asked, offered suggestions for daily maintenance and stretching. I’ll be back!

June 18, 2021 in Chicago, IL (in-studio)

My first (but not last) massage session with Bennett was delightful, professional and very therapeutic. The communication, before and during the session, was easy, clear and enabled me to share expectations, ask questions and experience a great amount of comfort. The session provided targeted relief to tense areas of my body as well as overall care. New modalities for better selfcare were discussed which displayed Bennett's knowledge, care for mind/body/soul and love of his craft. Excellent session!

Jan. 09, 2020 in New York, NY (in-studio)

Bennett was my massage therapist for about a year when he practiced in NYC. We worked on my chronic neck & back pain, as well as general issues with anxiety and work stress. He is a wonderful, caring massage therapist and I cannot recommend him enough (come back, please!) He tailors each session to your individual needs, and keeps track of your symptoms to ensure treatments are effective and enjoyable. I truly, truly miss working with Bennett--he's a skilled and thoughtful therapist--I can't say it enough. I highly recommend checking out his practice in Chicago, he helped me with my chronic back pain, stress and anxiety issues immensely.
