Strong hands, Sorta Chatty, Results focused

I started doing massage at the age of 5 thanks to a mother who loved getting her shoulders rubbed. Later in life, after 8 years in the Marine Corp, I decided to have a career that I loved, that made a difference and helped people. Using my GI Bill, I went to massage school for a 720 hour program in Emeryville CA and started working in a local spa in 2002.

23 years later, I've been working in my private practice for the last 15 years as my full time gig.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Anonymous on Dec 02
Taylor has an incredible sense of exactly where my body needs work to help my shoulder and neck issues, and I’ve been able to see positive shifts in my level of ongoing pain that I didn’t think I would ever see. When Taylor works on areas that are particularly tight and painful, he skillfully tempers this with his wonderful sense of humor. Taylor’s massages are definitely for those that need very deep pressure, although he regularly checks in and encourages me to communicate my needs. Taylor is truly exceptional at his work and a gem of a human to boot.

I've had more massages than I can count over the past five years, and Taylor stands head and shoulders above them all. He has magic hands—which is striking when those hands belong to a 6'4" gentle giant who moves your body with the precision and tenderness of a craftsman. He reads what you need almost immediately and delivers it with total confidence: deep pressure that actually goes deep, stretches that find the exact angle, movements that feel both powerful and completely safe. What makes him exceptional is the combination—technically masterful, genuinely kind and grounded, and humble about being this skilled. His space is thoughtfully designed, from the lighting to every small detail that makes it feel warm and inviting. Easy parking, fair rates. I hope you can squeeze into his almost always full schedule---do it, take whatever spot he gives you, you will be glad you did!

Taylor is the best. 'm always impressed by his knowledge about the body. I've been going to him for about 5 years and he's been such a big help.

If you need real body work, have been looking for someone with the right amount of knowledge and skill to deliver it, you've found your massage therapist. Along with all that, Taylor's height and large hands provide for an experience truly like no other.

Taylor is amazing! He is a healer. He tailors his message to my specific health needs. He works to clear the stress from my muscles and in turn my mind. I always feel invigorated after being on his table.

Be prepared to laugh and groan in equal measure as you get funny jokes and strong pressure to areas that require it. Taylor is a great person, with professional knowledge of his craft, and a fun demeanor throughout each session.

Taylor has a profound, intuitive sense of what a body needs. Expect deep (which can mean intense) and highly effective work for tissue recovery and care. I came to Taylor over ten years ago with chronic pain and within months I had none. I see him regularly to keep my body in balance.

With skilful hands, the massage worked wonders on the muscle issues I’d been having—I felt noticeably better the moment I got off the table

What an amazingly deep massage! I said that I preferred it that way and Taylor strongly delivered just that. He asked if I wanted conversation. My reply was that more is always welcome. He's brilliant.
