Massage That Helps You Exhale
Deep, intuitive bodywork in Catskill, NY - designed to relieve tension, reset your nervous system, and bring you back to yourself.
If you’ve tried massages that feel good for an hour but don’t actually change anything… you’re in the right place.
My work isn’t about chasing knots. It’s about listening to what your body has been holding—stress, overwork, training fatigue, emotional weight—and helping it finally let go.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more you.
Not just “worked on.”
Restored.

Most tension isn’t random. It’s your body adapting to your life—your posture, pace, responsibilities, stress levels, and the things you’ve had to push through.
In our sessions, we create the conditions for real release:
Deep, effective pressure (without forcing or bruising)
Slow, attentive presence that helps your system feel safe enough to soften
Nervous system–informed bodywork that supports lasting change
A bespoke approach—because no two bodies (or weeks) are the same
This isn’t a spa “fluff-and-polish” massage.
It’s a personalized healing session designed around your body’s actual needs.
Who This Is For
Come in if you want to…
Release chronic tension in shoulders, neck, hips, low back
Recover faster from training, workouts, or physically demanding work
Unwind from stress, burnout, and nervous system overload
Feel more open, mobile, and grounded in your body
Experience safe, respectful, trauma-aware bodywork
Reconnect with rest, pleasure, and ease—without rushing
Whether you’re a dedicated athlete, a desk-bound professional, a parent running on empty, or someone simply craving a reset—I’ll meet you where you are.
Hi, I’m Mike.
Why I Do This Work
Growing up wasn’t easy. In the middle of chaos, the one place I consistently found peace was at my grandmother’s house. And every night I stayed there, she’d rub my back before bed.
It was simple. And it changed everything.
That ritual taught me what touch can do when it’s given with care:
it can calm the nervous system, restore trust in the body, and make you feel safe again.
That’s a big inspiration to why I became a massage therapist - so others can access that same kind of comfort, healing, and restoration.
My path has taken me through years of yoga practice as a monk, Thai massage study in Chiang Mai, and advanced bodywork training in the U.S. Today I bring that full range of experience into my practice in Catskill, NY, offering massage that’s as unique as you are.
A Bespoke Approach
No two bodies are the same. Your massage shouldn’t be either.
Think of it like tailoring: I’m not following a script - I’m designing your session in real time based on what your body is saying that day.
Clients often tell me they leave feeling:
“reset,” “rebalanced,” and “like I can finally breathe again.”

Frequently Asked questions
How do I choose 60 vs 90 minutes?
If you want full-body work and focused deep work, choose 90 minutes. If you have one primary issue area, 60 minutes can be great.
Is deep tissue supposed to hurt?
No. We can go deep without forcing. I work with your nervous system, not against it.
Do I need to talk during the session?
Only if you want to. Silence is welcome. So is sharing what you’re noticing.
Can this support stress or trauma held in the body?
Yes—many people find this work supportive. I approach the body with care and consent, and we always go at a pace that feels safe. (This is not a replacement for mental health or medical care.)
What kind of results can I expect?
People often come in feeling tight, wired, or worn down—and leave feeling softer, clearer, and more connected to their body.
That said: I don’t promise miracles. What I do promise is this:
you’ll be listened to, respected, and worked on with skill and integrity.
Clients that see me consistently do report noticing a difference in their bodies, energy and overall mood. They especially notice the difference when they stop coming regularly.
