Change lives by relieving pain and restoring the human body to a balanced state in a supportive, inclusive environment.
- Modalities: Swedish massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Stretching, Cupping and Gua Sha (IASTM)

Emma was fantastic! She is clearly very skilled at her profession. Very warm, welcoming atmosphere. As a trans person myself, I havent been able to find a massage therapist that felt safe for me -- until Emma! So grateful for her representation and service to her communities. Thank you!!!

I would say that as queer and trans person, it is very hard to find a safe space... ESPECIALLY for massage therapy. I felt calm the whole time. Emma knows just exactly how to create a safe and warm space for all. Will definitely be going back!

Shawn is very skilled and exceeds expectations. I leave his practice feeling very relaxed and destressed. A massage from Shawn is the most perfect Sunday treat.
I am considering seeing him twice a week, now that he is offering home calls on Fridays.

Shawn is highly skilled and creates a relaxed atmosphere. On Sundays, he works at Neil Avenue and Fourth Avenue, so Short North clients can walk to get a massage.

Pay attention to problem areas.
Can apply deep pressure.
Spends extra time on areas of concern.
Not overly talkative.
Humble.
Punctual.

Shawn is truly a professional in his field. He has a peaceful demeanor with a kind and gentle spirit. He has a heart of a teacher since he answered my many questions and he went above and beyond by offering me further tips and resources I may use at home. I arrived with lower back pain and left super relaxed and pain free. My first appointment exceeded my expectations and I will be rebooking soon. Patrick S.

Shawn gives me a weekly deep tissue massage. He is fabulous. His deep tissue massage is always consistent. He never fails to ask what areas are bothering me and even suggests exercises I can do to relieve pain between massages. Really cares about relieving your pain. I would go more often if I could afford to. I always feel better after. I would highly recommend Shawn.
