My first massage ever with Chris was an excellent experience. He greeted me at the door with a big smile and immediately put me at ease. His studio is beautifully set up and provides a comfortable and calming place to relax with its soft lighting and spa music. After a few basic questions he got to work with those great hands. He checked in with me on pressure and welcomed feedback. He managed to find and work on problem areas that I didn’t know I had and still made it a blissful experience. I actually fell asleep for a few minutes at one point.
I finished the session so relaxed I really didn’t want to get off the table but I had to get back to work and it was great to be able to have a quick shower. Chris is a very kind, fun guy who delivers a wonderful session. I’ll be a regular. Thanks again! Ryan

Well, how do I start to tell you what a fabulous experience I had with my 1st visit to Chris. He is very welcoming and put me at ease immediately. He has a wonderful space for the massage which is very clean and inviting. The atmosphere was just right! Before he started the session, we talked about my needs and the places where I wanted him to focus. He agreed and the massage started. His obvious skill and his ability to address the areas that we discussed plus his extra effort helped the area I felt needed extra attention. The massage was a total treat. I will always be grateful for my experience with Chris, and needless to say will be back in his care for many times in the future. I must also mention just how responsive he was when I texted for the appointment. Justin R.

I just had a much-needed massage session with Chris, and I would highly recommend others do as well. Chris was easy to talk to, and he was able to accommodate a same-day appointment fairly quickly. The session itself was fantastic. Chris’ massage was the real deal - his deep strokes soothed me and released tension I had been holding onto for weeks. I am dealing with specific areas (lower back, hips) that needed attention, and Chris was able to focus on those areas without neglecting the overall massage. He was strong in the areas that needed that effort, while creating an overall experience that was gentle and relaxing. I would definitely book again. Ryan

The massage was awesome!
I am from NYC and receive massages regularly. I am nervous when I try a new masseur.
Immediately when Chris opened the door his smile was beautiful. The studio is spotless.
Chris asked all of the proper questions, further putting me at ease. He spent the time in the
areas that I requested. He spoke to me but not during the entire massage. Chris is very
professional. I live in the Sarasota area now and with Chris there is no need to travel
to St. Pete or Tampa. I recommend Chris and his 90 minute massage. He took his time
and when my time was over he did not rush me out the door. Thanks Chris!

The massage was next level – Chris was welcoming and friendly, and very in-tune with my body. He listened to what I wanted and didn't want, and was able to tailor the experience to benefit the areas I needed the most attention on. His studio set-up is first rate, professional and very clean with a relaxing feel to it. I felt very comfortable in his knowledgeable and strong hands, and would gladly re-book with him anytime. Thanks again! Jim

I had a 90 minute massage with Chris and it was wonderful. He is a true professional and knows exactly what he is doing. The massage felt amazing and he was able to work out kinks and muscle soreness that I didn't even know I had. His technique and ability to focus on my problem areas was awesome, and it is very evident he has a lot of experience. The room set up was very clean and comfortable, and I was able to completely relax. The available shower afterwards was a nice addition to the session. I highly recommend Chris, and have already referred him to my friends.

Chris has massaged me a few of times over the last couple of months since his relocation to Florida. He has greeted me with kindness and warmth on each occasion. His home studio and services are both comforting and professional. The massage itself is detailed, intuitive, responsive and carefully choreographed and tailored to your needs. He clearly possesses excellent knowledge, insight and expertise in his craft. Not only do you feel in very good, strong hands, you leave feeling soothed, rejuvenated and fit to face the world again. I'm so happy to have found my regular therapist right here in Sarasota.

I have been a loyal and satisfied client for over 5 years. I look forward to my appointments because I know that Chris' therapeutic techniques will relieve my aches and leave me feeling rejuvenated. His studio is well appointed, clean and calming and I love the availability of a shower after the session. The heated table is so great in the cold weather.
Very important to me also is that he is a genuinely nice, considerate, courteous person. He has the gift of putting a client at ease from the outset, so important to maximizing the full benefit of massage. Throughout each session he checks on the pressure he is exerting and readily makes adjustments to the client's comfort level.
Chris is a consummate professional. If you want the benefit of a great massage from a therapist who is totally focused on your well-being, make an appointment with Chris. You will be very happy that you did.

My massage with Chris was wonderful. He welcomed me into his clean, well appointed studio and made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Once on the table he asked me some questions and explained to me some of what he’d be doing, and a couple of minutes later I was certain I was in good hands. The massage was thorough and hit all the right spots, and he knew exactly what to do to make me relax. I left a different man than when I entered. I will be back and back and back for more Excellent experience. Mike
