TESTIMONIALS

"What a wonderful experience! From the incredibly thoughtful intake discussion, to the massage itself, to the follow-up email the day after, I've never felt so taken care of by a massage therapist before. Having a larger body, I tend to want a very firm massage, but don't always feel confident enough to ask for that. Not with Michael. Wow did he deliver. Not only was the pressure incredible, but I felt safe, supported, and encouraged to breathe through it all, ask for what I needed, and truly allow him to work his magic. I've already made a follow-up appointment for next month. Thank you so much!"
-Chris V.

"Michael Q is constantly learning so that he can have a wide range of techniques to give the best possible massage. He has a personal dynamism that translates into great energy during sessions. My husband and I have been going to Michael for three years. We love our sessions and recommend him without reservation."

NO DRAPING POLICY

I want to emphasize THERE WILL BE NO DRAPING. I like to emphasize this because most (North Americans in particular) are used to a traditional "Western" Swedish or relaxation massage where you have a sheet or blanket covering you up, most often represented at spas. That's not what I do. Call me a rebel lol.So what do you wear?Men typically wear shorts or underwear. Women typically wear a sports bra and shorts. Trans and/or non-binary folks can wear whatever makes you comfortable. I'm not in the business of policing bodies, so regardless of your gender wear whatever makes you feel good about your body. If you want some guidance in this area feel free to text me the day before your session and I'd be happy to guide you in more detail.
