Overview

Immerse yourself in a hour of deep tissue transformative massage.

My massage is a restorative blend of Hawai’ian Lomi Lomi, myo-fascial structural integration, deep tissue, and Thai. I may also use some gentle stretches, chi points, and rocking in a session. These techniques are amazingly effective with reluctant or stuck tissues.

Ready to transform your life and make change that is long lasting?

Slowing down and sinking into a restful state. I am here to guide you in a... session of delicious intuitive touch. Each massage is focused on our connection and customized to your body’s specific needs and healing capacity. I am always listening and allowing the body to set its own pace as we move along. I may encourage you to breathe deeply as we unwind those chronic structural tension patterns.

I am happy to be offering my services in Berkeley, Oakland, and the surrounding Bay Area.

I offer 18 years of experience in massage specifically tailored for gay men’s overall health and wellness. Glad to work with guys of all age, shape, size, sexual orientation, gender identity, and Disability.

My space is in Emeryville right off the freeway. I also am available for some out call sessions.

Please feel free to text with any questions, and to set a time for our session together.

Testimonials

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

Sept. 21, 2024 in San Francisco, CA (mobile)

“What wonderful experience! Deep tissue somatic healing fascia work mixed with sweetly relaxing Hawaiian Lomi Lomi as described. I love the mix of styles that Simon offers. His presence and good energy is evident in the massage I received. This session felt great. A breath of fresh air as they say. I am grateful to found him and that he had time with such short notice. He helped me shift perspective into enjoyment and appreciation for this amazing day. I am more comfortable in my body than I’ve been for a while.”

“Simon has the gift of attentive touch. He possesses the unique ability to attune to his clients needs and sensitivities so precisely in order to create a container of safety and well being for us. I have received dozens of massage sessions with Simon. Each one transports me into a realm of deep healing. I whole heartedly recommend a session for anyone seeking a professional and skilled practitioner capable of cultivating an environment of deep care and relaxation.”

“Simons sessions are a multilevel adventure. We clear a lot from my muscles, my lymph, and my energetic body. The massage experience I have with him is very satisfying. He is strong and highly effective yet also relaxing. He gives great deep tissue work and good vibes. I very much appreciate him and see him whenever he is in town. I wish he was in town more."

“Simon gives a great massage. I’ve been coming to him for relaxation and healing and good vibes for years. Such a joy to be with. His calm sweet presence and deep nurturing bodywork gives me so much ease. Simon has helped me in some integration with injury recovery as well as our general overall body bliss massage sessions. Very thankful.”

“Hands down one of the best massages I've ever had, if not the best.
Highly recommended!
Simon is a tremendously skilled massage therapist. They are intuitive and seem quite at ease working with the human body. They moved gracefully and incrementally down my frame, methodically working into muscles and tendons where the tightness and soreness was. They worked in a way that was articulate and easeful, using stretching in a way I hadn't experienced before. Their massage felt so good.”
~Forest, Ashland, OR.

"Simon combined an incredible knowledge of human anatomy with intuitive wisdom and powerful listening skills. They created a massage experience that addressed the physical ailments I was experiencing, as well as the emotional ailments that underpinned them. The space held for me felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming of anything that came up for me during the session. I strongly recommend Simon as a practitioner."

Simon is one of my all time favorite masseurs.
I’ve been getting bodywork done every week for the past 25 years, (Yep, that’s not a typo!), and of the scores of massage therapists I’ve seen, Simon is one of my all-time favorite practitioners! I’ve been seeing him whenever he is in the area, over the past 15 years and the experience is always transcendent.
He has a warm and healing presence, and is a highly skilled masseur with an amazingly and intuitive touch. I can’t say enough good things.
My only regret is that he doesn’t visit my area often enough!!
