I am dealing with chronic hip and back pain, and Desmond's expertise and careful attention to my needs provided immediate relief. The session was both relaxing and highly effective. If you're looking for a knowledgable and highly effective massage therapist, Desmond is the on to see. Five stars!

As someone with chronic musculoskeletal issues and many fused vertebrae from surgery in 1990 I have to be mindful of the practitioners I choose to work with. I am thankful to have found Desmond several years ago. Because of his extensive knowledge and experience with a variety of tools and techniques he is able to adapt to whatever my challenges are at any given time. No session is ever exactly the same. I'm genuinely appreciative of both the flexibility and affordability offered by the multi-session packages and will continue to take advantage of the packages for as long as they are available.
