Lose your mind and come to your senses!
With 19 years of bodywork experience, I’ve learned that presence is more important than fancy technique. My work is deeply healing. I will not try to fix you. I will work with you to help you uncover your own capacity for healing — most importantly to get out of your head and into your body. I want you to remember your animal, human, and spiritual selves; your innate intelligence and wisdom. Breathe

I’ve seen Doug a few times and each massage has surpassed the previous one. His handsome pics are accurate and his cozy place is inviting. It helps his clients that he likes to set an intention prior to hopping on his table. He is very in tune with his hands as they manipulate the muscles, and his touch is not only relaxing and sensual but energizing too. I highly recommend the very zen experience you can receive from this accommodating man.

I've had 2 sessions with Doug so far. My first massage with him was shortly after a serious car accident, and he really helped get my body back into some kind of working order. He is very strong and especially great at working with me to find the places I most need to work on. Thank you so much!

I give Doug my highest recommendation. After dozens of his massages I consider myself a very satisfied client.
His specialty is listening to my specific needs and then proceeding with great care and sensitivity, consistently checking on how I feel. It is always an intensely rejuvenating massage. At my request he focuses on the areas where I feel much tension. His touch is enjoyable, and at the same time I can feel the toxins flow out of my body. A wonderful experience. He made me see the stars again!

I have been a client of Doug’s for many years and have always had terrific, therapeutic results with him. Over the years I have become a real fan of his salt scrubs that, in my opinion, make me instantly look 10 years younger! Doug’s real gifts are his hands and he has given me some of the most intuitive massages I have ever had. Another reason for his success is that he asks very clear questions, from the beginning of our sessions, about exactly what I am expecting, what parts of my body may need more attention than others, and what sort of pressure I would like. When he is winding down the massage he's sure to ask if my problem areas were sufficiently addressed, and if I would like him to re-visit them. I have had few experiences with bodywork that approached Doug’s care. I recommend him very highly.

Doug is super caring. He listens to the issue, and applies strong or light massage as needed. I had back pain from lifting weights in the gym and my muscles were tight. When I left Doug's cozy home, I felt calmer, and my body hurt less and this effect continues long after the visit.

The moment I saw your welcome smile I knew you were going to give me a great massage.
Your table was wide and comfortable. The music was calming and the air temperature was just right. Indeed, your hands make great body contact and know their way around knots and aches. And thank you for the great stretches.
My experience in your studio will bring me back.

I've been seeing Doug regularly for over five years. He is an amazing masseur: strong and skilled, deeply intuitive and sensitive, a gentle giant. He creates a space where you can let go. He is very open to your needs, listening carefully to how your body is responding as he works on you. He's a sweet, kind man with a great sense of humor. His space is clean and well-appointed, with lovely candles, artwork, and always perfect music for whatever the mood. I've also had his Thai massage, which is a fully therapeutic approach, and really impactful. You won't be disappointed!
