Overview

I love giving massage as much as I love receiving them. I find massage to be one of the most relaxing, healing, and pleasurable somatic experiences we can have. Nothing rejuvenates and makes me feel more “well” in my body than receiving a great massage, and it’s a true pleasure and privilege to be able to provide that experience to someone else. Of all the jobs that I’ve had in my life, I find providing the palpable and... sensorial bliss achieved through massage to be one of the more rewarding. I truly believe that this hour or two of connection and relaxation has an outsized palliative effect on our day.

My specialty is providing a deeply relaxing experience through intuitive touch. First and foremost, I'm an artist, and I bring that sensibility and presence to everything that I do, including my massage. My decades of experience in dance, yoga, and meditation, combined with being a highly intuitive and compassionate person allows for a unique and calming session.

I am not a licensed masseur, so if you have an injury you need to address, or are looking for deep sports massage, I’m happy to provide a referral. I welcome any client, regardless of age, or body type, and happily work on straight, gay, or bisexual, singles or couples. Thank you

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

Simply outstanding massage. An incredible sense for his client’s needs, from the first assessment through the entire session. Great mixture of pressure and soft, as well as stretch. Prompt response to my inquiry, completely a pro. Very good company and conversation too. Hope to meet again. Highly recommend.

Just wow. Two weeks after my appt my darrell I can still remember the glowing feeling of relaxation I felt from his massage. So tuned in, such soothing and healing rhythm.
I was so pleased by my massage one of the best I've have had and I am a massage therapist. Darrell has a beautiful demeanor, is sweet, and has a wonderful studio and was a pleasure to be around.

Darrell is incredible. He is a really good guy who gives an awesome massage. He varies the pressure instinctively and makes sure you're always completely comfortable. The best!

I've been a client of D a several times over the past 6 months, but after my most recent appointment, I felt conpelled to post a review... If you want a really great massage from a nice, intuitive, unprentious guy in Brooklyn, then D is the perfect masseur for you. He tailors the pressure to your needs & can converse on any topic. You owe it to yourself to give him a try.

Great from the start. Had me shower first to get ready. High quality thought out massage.

D is a fantastic masseur - he was professional and courteous, but also sweet, warm and easy to relate to. His massage technique is excellent and the experience was truly blissful. Would definitely go back!

Darrell is a quality massuer who delivers what he advertises in his description massage experiences with him. It is rare to find a talented, kind, considerate, professional, trained, friendly, creative, and focused therapist who actually delivers more than what one would expect. I hope to see him again while I am in the NYC area. Easy to find in Brooklyn. I always seek the best and Darrell is on my short list of top masseurs.
