Brian is a skilled massage therapist. On each visit, he has helped me identify which muscles are sore.
Unfortunately, on my most recent visit, his neighbors had my deranged, obsessive stalker, Rajiv Philip of U-Akron, Grange Insurance and resident of Columbus, Ohio on the phone. The grating, raspy voice of that criminal element joyfully chatting with Brian's neighbor destroyed the benefits of my visit.

I'll start by saying I'm prone to skepticism when it comes to energy work and some holistic forms of medicine. I've had both good and not-so-good experiences with alternative body therapy. I just received my first massage/treatment from Brian and I'm nothing short of floored. My body feels entirely different than it did prior to my treatment with him, as does my emotional and spiritual state. Brian is one of those rare talents you seldom come across who is both technically gifted and intuitively tuned-in on a level that defies words. I am so deeply grateful for his service and

I have been a patient of Brian's for almost a year now and he has truly been such a gift as an addition to my team of healers. I have a Chronic Illness and before Brian, there was only one other masseuse I would allow to touch me and she is halfway across the country. Every single massage I had prior in life left me in pain, for days. I was super apprehensive and not an easy patient; Brian not only was completely respectful of my concerns, he listened to them, he showed that he had researched my disease and different types of treatment that could be helpful and he proved me wrong that not all massage

I recently threw out my back and had debilitating pain. Through good fortune, I connected with Brian and after our first session, he had noticeably reduced my pain. I've continued to see Brian and have found such relief and increased movement after each visit. He's incredibly intuitive and able to read and understand bodies in a way that is a true gift. It can be hard to find the right person to do body work, and someone you can trust, when in a state of pain. I couldn't be more appreciative to have found Brian as he's been, without a doubt, one of the greatest factors in my recovery.

Brian saved my jaw in the midst of an emergency. I’m a singer and had dislocated my jaw while clenching too hard while sleeping 2 weeks before leaving for a month long tour. I ultimately had to get surgery on my jaw to flush the fluids in my joints that were preventing me from opening and closing my jaw (lock jaw). It was the fastest healing i could find before leaving. Post surgery, Brian’s treatment helped treat my jaw and mouth to make sure I was still moving it in order to keep it mobile and to sing properly. I’ve never felt more energetic healing apart from physical jaw relief in my

Brian is a completely gifted healer and body work practitioner. He is very intuitive and super present during each session. I came to him because of a chronic pain that I knew was something deeper, more energetic, and no other chiropractor or massage therapist could touch it. After just one session with Brian and I felt so much better, more relief and release than I’ve had in years. Highly recommend !!

Brian was great! I have never been to a massage therapist before and I had a wonderful experience. He really listened to what the problem was, gave helpful advice, explained why he was doing what he was doing, and was open to any questions or concerns I had. I didn't feel rushed and the environment of his space was really comforting and relaxing. I had very intense lower back pain and stiffness and felt 90% better the next day after going to him. Very thankful! :~)

Brian pays attention to the sources of your pain or discomfort to deliver the best treatment for you, using massage, Reiki, and/or Craniosacral therapies to deliver a unique support for your body's ability to begin to heal itself. Or simply to help you unwind all the raging tensions of modern life in the body.
I personally visit Brian for Craniosacral & Reiki work to address anxiety, energy imbalance, and excessive stress on the body, but I also bring my 5 year old son who has an Autism diagnosis - Craniosacral has been shown to help many children with ASD diagnoses and the research

I have been seeing Brian for a little over a year an a half and I couldn’t be more grateful for the work he does on me. I have several lower back/hip stiffness that sort of builds up with the time because I work a lot on my feet and Brian knows and understand my body so well that every time I visit him I leave restored and sort of rebuilt. No therapist has ever really focused so well in my issue and Brian found the way to get deep into the problem and release the tension that builds in that area of my body. Not only he is a great therapist, his energy always makes me feel safe and take care of

Brian is wonderful! He is professional, skilled, and has an innate ability to find those troublesome areas that cause discomfort and/or pain. He is a good listener and will "check in" on you throughout the session to ensure you are receiving an optimum experience. Since I been seeing him for my massage needs, I have found him to a genuinely caring and pleasant person who is passionate about his profession. He works with your schedule and is quick to return calls regarding scheduling and questions about treatment options.

So as I'm sitting in my car after getting a 2 Hour Massage from Brian I feel so grateful to have been able to meet someone with such expertise!!! He is beyond skilled, professional, knowledge, and all in all a good soul. I am 25yrs old & have suffered with Fibromyalgia my whole life, it's been extremely hard over the years to find a massage therapist who is knowledgeable & able to work specifically to your body!!! Words can't describe how GREAT my body feels right now! Every little piece of tension is gone, I normally feel like the tin man & now I feel like my muscles

I cannot say enough good things about Brian! I went in on 4/9/16 and I came out feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I went in specifically for the Myofascial Massage for my TMJ. He worked wonders! He took his time to listen to my body and feel what was off. He was spot on. I never mentioned specially what was hurting me but he nailed it! He helped release my jaw! Now I am able to find a better position for my jaw to hang which complements my Orofacial Therapy. Totally worth it and will be back next month! Thank you so much! You honestly made a difference in my life! :)

Brian is an excellent Massage Therapist and all around great guy! I had a very painful muscle spasm that was creating a lot of discomfort in my pectoral muscle and shoulder blade. Brian listened to my explanation of the symptoms and my concerns, asked a few very specific questions and then spent an hour addressing the issue and working on that one particular area. When he as done my symptoms were greatly reduced and most of my discomfort was gone. By the next day I was entirely pain free. Past experience would indicate that without Brian's help, the symptoms and pain would have persisted

Brian is amazing! He makes you feel very comfortable, and the way he follows his intuition in session makes the experience totally unique. He is very knowledgeable about the human body, and you can tell he really knows what he is doing. I would highly suggest booking a craniosacral therapy session with him. I am a massage therapist myself and Brian is the one who heals me! :)

Amazing! I've been looking for someone that works more with natural healing of the body instead of taking pain medication. I got the shiatsu massage, Brian's room is very calm and serene. He really targeted my troubled areas in my shoulders and legs because I'm a hairdresser always on my feet. After the massage he gave me feedback on how my body responded to the acupressure which was great news. I was kind of worried I would be really tired after the massage but I feel really energized. I've rebooked my next appointment. I love the technique and he made me feel very comfortable

I went to Brian for the first time for a 1-hour massage--just looking for some relaxation before holiday travel. Within the first 2 minutes, without even having touched me (but just hovering his hands around my ankles/legs to feel the "rhythm of the body's fascia," if I am remembering the terminology correctly), Brian asked if I had any problems with my right hip. It was as if he were psychic because I have had issues with this hip joint for months! I am beyond impressed that he was so sensitive, intuitive and knowledgeable to divine this instantaneously. He proceeded to work

I've been going to Brian for a few months, and highly recommend him to anyone suffering from pain or stress (so, uh... all of LA, basically). Brian is simply stellar: Educated, Intuitive, Personal & Professional. He provides completely customizable massages each time. I'll go in with a migraine, and come out ready to hike a mountain - seriously. This guy's got the gift.
Brian's knowledge of the human anatomy is amazing. Is there a PhD for Awesome? Because he's taught me more about my health & body than any doctor has - and healed more too. He has an incredible

I've had many massages from Brian, and no matter what's going on, I always leave feeling much better. As a fibromyalgia sufferer, if someone doesn't know what they're doing, I can end up in pain. Brian is always able to get the tension out of my muscles without any negative effects. He's also helpful for migraines, and once, when my back went out and I couldn't walk, he got me hobbling freely about in a single session! He knows about lots of different massage techniques--I personally love when he does craniosacral work, and is also good about giving me stretches to

Brian is Amazing!!!! I'm a camera operator and assistant so I spend 12+ hours on my feet daily, hauling heavy gear, and also putting strain on one side of my body. It's a vocation that often comes with back problems to say the least. I was even starting to get reoccurring tension head aches. I started going to Brian and the headaches are gone, my posture is way better, and I feel less stressed and more limber overall. SO GOOD. Not only are his massages great but he is so knowledgeable about a wide range of body work. He always shows me great stretches and techniques for my specific problem

Brian is a wizard.
My back, neck, and shoulders have been wrecked by scoliosis surgery and an artist's posture, and I get migraines almost every day. I went in with one of the worst migraines I've had in ages (bad enough that I couldn't even drive myself there); I left feeling so refreshed and painless (PAINLESS!) and energized and happy that I walked the three miles back home in the direction of the blazing 5:00 sun (please understand that I do not jibe with this L.A. sun). I felt reincarnated.
