Expert massage therapy that transforms tension into tranquility
I began my career in post-surgical rehabilitation, working in a clinical setting where I managed a steady caseload of patients recovering from orthopedic procedures. I was responsible for guiding therapeutic exercise programs, providing hands-on treatment, and following post-operative recovery protocols. That early clinical experience gave me a strong foundation in orthopedic assessment and shaped the precise, problem-solving approach I still bring to every session.
Later, I became Lead Therapist at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach—an iconic coastal destination known for luxury and high standards. In that role, I led a team of therapists while working with guests from around the world. It was there that I learned to blend clinical precision with elevated hospitality—offering care that was not only effective but deeply restorative.
As my practice matured, I began to develop a tailored version of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi that has become the heart of my work. Over the years, I’ve refined this method into something that blends strength with grace, and intuition with deep anatomical knowledge. It’s fluid, grounded, and unlike anything most clients have experienced. That signature style is what has shaped my career and set me apart in the field.
In 2026, I’ll be showcasing my Lomi Lomi work at the American Massage Championship in North Carolina—with plans to compete at the World Championship in Copenhagen the following year. For me, massage is more than bodywork—it’s movement, rhythm, and presence. I approach each session with intention, precision, and artistry.
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve built a reputation as a “therapist’s therapist”—trusted for both my technical expertise and the calm, intuitive care I bring to the table. I’ve worked with a wide range of conditions, from everyday issues like neck and shoulder tension, low back tightness, and carpal tunnel symptoms, to more complex cases involving chronic pain and spinal dysfunction.
Outside of my practice, I’m an active Spartan Race participant—and I’ve even paused mid-race to help fellow runners finish strong. These days, I work with private clients in their homes, treat patients at a chiropractic clinic in Huntington Beach, and support corporate wellness programs through on-site chair massage. And when I’m off the clock, I’m a husband and proud dad to a young son—my favorite role of all.
"I bring orthopedic precision and Lomi Lomi's fluid grace to every session. I am committed to providing the best massage experience of your life."
