First massage from Evan today, he was friendly and asked what areas I was concerned about. He’s incredible ! Pressure was just right and I felt so relaxed afterwards. Magic hands ! Very highly recommended and I will be back for sure
Where to start with Evan? From the moment I walked in the door he was welcoming and put me at ease straight away. His space was lit perfectly and was very comfortable and the perfect temperature. The massage itself was probably the best one I’ve ever had I feel like I could run a marathon now. He worked on my legs and he was unbelievable, he applied the perfect amount of pressure and knew exactly what my problem was before I’d even told him. Will 100% come back again and I’ll tell all my friends to book on with him asap
I booked an appointment with Evan because I was experiencing tension in my shoulders and legs. As a professional spin instructor, this is an occupational hazard, particularly for my quads which often build up lactic acid after intense classes. Evan gave me the most incredible deep tissue massage that restored full power to my legs and eliminated the shoulder pain. I’ll definitely be booking regular massages from now on – thank you !!!
I've booked in with Evan several times now after he was recommended by a friend. I can't recommend him enough as a masseuse, always so inviting and friendly! The comfortable studio space and fab music really make the experience. Each appt has been fantastic and he has provided me with a lot of guidance and help with sorting out long term back pain issues.
Amazing massage off Evan, such a lonely guy, makes you feel colourable the minute you walk in, and my body feels amazing after the massage! Hopefully won’t leave it as long till the next one, next time! Definitely recommend
The service provided by Evan is professional of an extremely high standard. The atmosphere he creates for clients is relaxed and welcoming and he listens to the needs of the client before and during the sessions. I carry a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders and Evan managed to get knots out that I didn’t even know were there. He also gave me exercises to do that would relieve the tension going forward. It is very comforting to know that there are services purely dedicated to the wellness of queer people in Manchester. Highly recommend.
I had a massage with Evan today and I can’t recommend him enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The space is calm, clean, and very queer-friendly which made a big difference. Evan listened to what was bothering me, and tailored the massage exactly to what I needed, I had tension in my shoulders and lower back. His technique was firm but never painful, and afterward I felt so much looser and more relaxed. He’s professional, thoughtful and clearly really cares about helping people feel better. If you’re looking for a massage therapist who understands and respects queer wellness, Evan is the one. I’ll definitely be back.
Am I glad I booked a massage with Evan. I'm either on a laptop or driving long distances for work so I'm a mess. I booked the 90 minutes Swedish massage and he worked wonders on my neck, shoulders and back. I had a three hour drive home from Manchester and I could feel a noticeable improvement in my range of motion. Looking over my shoulder when changing lanes for example. My only issue is his studio is three hours from where I live and I'm not sure when I'll be back in Manchester again. If you are are local or visiting and in need of a massage, book in with Evan. He goes deep and has very powerful hands and arms which is just how I like my massage. Thank you Evan you're easily one of the best massage therapists I've seen in a long while.
Had a really fun private 2 on 1 dance class with Evan for my friend’s birthday present. It was a complete surprise and a great way to spend an hour. Evan was really funny, camp and made sure we (my friend) could follow along. We left knowing about a minute of a routine and Evan filmed it for us. Would definitely recommend
I visited Evan feeling a bit sore after over-exerting myself at the gym, thinking I was broadly fine but possibly with a few aches and pains. I was hoping that a quick massage would be just the thing. Within moments, he found that my posture and walking style had left my legs full of knots and I was extremely liable to getting extra pain. In addition to helping unknot my legs, he also gave me some great advice on preventing the issue in future. I left with such a spring in my step. To be honest, I always worry that massages are going to be a little bit awkward, but Evan is such a professional, we had a lovely chat and I felt totally at ease. He's a true pro!
