flexible schedule, great hours, fantastic massage 5 Star Rating - World class

I had never heard of Dave before, and simply liked his funny website-- I wasn't looking for some luxury spa with 18 massuers and facialists and manicurists all trying to push products on you and playing new age music (read: Bliss Spa).

I was looking for a massage after having done a 150 mile race through the sahara desert. My muscles were sore and tight and running was a problem. In short, I was looking for someone good.

Dave gave me an appointment the very evening I called him. Not only were his rates very reasonable, but his massage was soooo much better than ones I had had before (read: Bliss, again.) He was gentle where he needed to be and strong with the muscles that really were a mess.

The next time I get a massage, I'll definitely go to him. This is the first time I've posted on Citysearch-- but I promised myself I'd post something about Dave.

Pros: Flexible hours, reasonable price, good massage
Cons: No cheesy New Age Music.

Great Guy, Great Massage! 5 Star Rating - World class

Dave is the real deal. So many times one goes to a masseur and gets a perfunctory rub down, but Dave really knows what he is doing. He instinctively can tell when and where you are tight and need some deep and satisfying work. He is sensitive to your body's needs and friendly to boot. :-)

I have always walked away feeling refreshed and renewed and I have the confidence that if I my neck was stiff or I had a knotted muscle and needed more than just a relaxing and therapeutic massage, Dave would be there to help. I heartily recommend him to anyone who needs or wants a massage. I wish I could go to him daily.

INCREDIBLE MASSAGE! 5 Star Rating - World class

Dave, your massage yesterday morning was absolutely outstanding. You even topped the last massage I received from you. Everyone coming to you will be totally entranced, and I could have stayed forever if you kept on with the massage!
Thank you so much for an enjoyable morning! I had appointments with several theatrical agents, and your massage helped reduce my anxiety so that I was able to be really "present" with them. Richard

Pros: Totally professional & knowledgeable

a professional opinion 5 Star Rating - World class

I have run a busy bodywork practice in NYC for over 13 years and know a lot of bodyworkers. When I think of the truly gifted, trained and caring professionals in this big city, Dave is on a very short list. After a session with him I always sleep better. His natural combination of a variety of modalities, his intuition, his grace, warmth, humor, kindness, and almost psychic ability to find kinks and knots I didn't even know I had make him beyond compare. He also loves this work and that is clear in his scrupulous attention to detail. I have called him in the past when I really needed that healing touch, and he always makes every effort to accommodate... even doing outcalls on short notice! I continue to learn from him and respect him greatly. I recommend Dave to anyone who is serious about having a totally beneficial and fun massage experience. Like nobody else!

Pros: availability, warmth
Cons: he's not next door!

strength and intuition 5 Star Rating - World class

Massage has been a part of my life for many years, first as a professional dancer and then as a personal trainer and gym owner. Daves balanced blend of his warm personality and strong professional technique result in a world-class massage experience. His strong body work relieved a chronic neck muscle spasm and his warm intuitive sensual touch left me in a state of nirvana for days to follow.

-- Timothy H., personal trainer

Pros: he listens
