TESTIMONIALS

"I've known MIchael for 15 years. He is magical and knows how to locate the source of pain or stiffness. His massages are not light, they are not always soothing, but no one can locate the source of the problem better than Michael. Although I no longer live in New York, I make it a point to see him after traveling 2600 miles to fix my body. He does deep body work and has helped me recover from prior injuries over 15 (+) years. I would recommend anyone local or out of town to visit Michael in NYC for a massage."

"Michael is an incredible healer and body worker. I have been seeing him for 7 years as often as I can afford. I leave his table renewed, relaxed and open to an unparalleled level, every time. I've received body work from 30+ other people across the country and he is the best I've ever found. Strong if you want it, super knowledgeable of anatomy and energy, and a super warm hearted person. He will change your perception of what is possible on the massage table, and in your body. I've referred countless friends to him and everyone swears by him. Highly recommended folks. Thank you Michael!!!"

"If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Michael is the best massage therapist I have ever know. I have been seeing him regularly for close to 20 years, but no one holds a candle to his skill level. His massage is totally tailored to you personal needs. He finds problems and fixes them. He has a 6th sense about where you are tight and why, and then remedies the problem. He's a big guy, but a gentle soul. You would be doing yourself a favor to being to see him as regularly as you can!"
