Matt was very good at finding tension and releasing it even before I was aware I was holding any. His approach was very relaxed which has made the sessions very comfortable. I have been seeing him for 2 months now and I would highly recommend him.

First massage - and not the last! Matt is super friendly, professional and made me feel at ease immediately. He was able to locate and relieve all the tense spots in my upper back/shoulder/neck which had been bugging me for months and he is very knowledge and passionate in his craft. Thank you!

Matt is friendly and welcoming and helped ease my back pain! I went in with an extremely stiff and very painful portion of my mid back, and he took time and patience to slowly release the tension with applied pressure and mobility movements. I felt my muscles ease during the session, and now afterward my body feels less stiff. Thank you!

I booked a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Matt and he is next level excellent! I have PTSD and I had a lot of trauma trapped in my muscles, particularly in my hip. Matt is professional and very intuitive because he knew exactly what to do and where to go to release the tension and trauma. He also checked in with me & asked how i was feeling while having my treatment. I felt very at ease with Matt, which isn't always easy with PTSD but he made me feel very comfortable and calm. I highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for any type of massage, and i will certainly book in with him again! I can't thank Matt enough for giving me information on how to help myself with the on going healing of my body. Today I am full of gratitude ๐Ÿ™

My massage with Matt was brilliant - he is a very warm, friendly person who made me feel at ease and comfortable from the off. And it's clear that he has a lot of experience in massage - he knew exactly how to tune in to the particular areas of my body that needed attention and made me feel so much more relaxed, lighter and freer as a result. Thank you Matt - I will book again soon!
