I will give you a warning about this man named Joe, the way he conducts business is very…read morequestionable not professional and I do NOT recommend dealing with him! I scheduled a massage with him for my father that I was going to pay for. I was planning on giving my Dad the money and he goes to his massage and then pays Joe after for his service right, like normal, correct!? Well, NOT Joe, he was making me pay for the service before my dad came to even get the massage! But what was worse, is here I am extremely busy like completely and utterly so busy and I have tons of family staying in my home for a wedding in a few days and lots going on and he had sent an invoice to my email, Now mind you I am not on my phone or having time to check texts or emails I am busy and who pays for a service prior, duh thats not normal well he had texted me something about paying this invoice and I just didn't have time to even really look at it much cuz my dad was just going to pay the money after and I was very busy!! Well 3 hours prior to the appointment time he texted me and says invoice hasn't been paid and I am canceling the appointment for your Dad Seriously!??? Why!!??? You actually thought someone was going to come to an appointment and not pay and especially me, that is NOT my character or my dad's and the most confusing part and why I say the way Joe conducts business is really odd and not OK because right on the square app when you book pictured below it says: Payment is due at your appointment!!!!! Then has the audacity to totally cancel appointment 3 hrs prior pretty crazy and very violating to me actually like Im some kind of criminal who is not going to pay Unreal, I was soooo shocked he did this like odd behavior So, that's why I say booking with Joe the Body Mechanic just don't bother his energy is way off! Very Very Very unprofessional how he handled that!!

The incredible work he does as a massage therapist has literally changed my life for the better! I have chronic health issues and he has helped me overcome some lifelong body pain. I am super apprehensive to get massages from men because I've had some negative experiences in the past, but Nathan is a true professional and makes me feel safe and comfortable! He is very aware of how to make his clients feel secure and relaxed. I just cannot recommend Nathan enough! I feel as though he is a healer by nature, and he understands human physiology so thoroughly from his many years of study and practice, that he goes right to where the pain is, can explain exactly why it is so bad, plus is skilled at communicating ways that you can adjust your day to day habits to improve (if not eradicate!) your body pain and work towards actually ridding oneself of both long term and short term ailments. I have been seeing Nathan for about 5 years and his techniques truly do release the tension of existence, leaving me as a more capable and carefree person. Go see him! You deserve to feel this good!

I can't recommend these two highly enough! Krystina's work is very nurturing and energetically healing; David is much more technical, working with specific injury and pain. I don't know if this is true with everyone, or what their limitations are in general, but this is how it was for me. They are both excellent and they often offer package deals if you buy several massages up front! Plus they will work with your schedule. Awakenings is a really positive space, just a really sweet energy, so I really recommend the whole experience.

I also saw him a few weeks after shoulder surgery when I could barely lie flat and he was so gracious and kind---patiently altering towels and pillows until I could be comfortable enough for him to work on the overstressed rest of me that was compensating for the shoulder trauma. His studio isn't fancy, but Joseph is very kind, gentle, and giving. If you are looking for someone who listens to you and genuinely cares about your needs-- and then has the skill to create the experience you're wanting- I would definitely recommend him!

I travel quite a bit so I have very limited availability but this guys' availability is even worse!! He doesn't do late afternoon nor evening appointments which isn't very conducive to being able to relax afterwards. They do bankers hours so you would need to have a massage during the day or no later than 2:30 pm in the afternoon. Too narrow a window for me. The one massage I was able to book was lack luster. More like a rub down than a knowledgeable professional massage. I would not recommend as I would definitely never use them again. Too flaky. Too unprofessional.

John really knows muscle anatomy and how they work to deliver therapeutic results! I can't recommend enough to anyone struggling with physical pain.

I decided to go to him once a week for four weeks to really heal the areas that needed it.. And, now I feel healthy and comfortable in my body again. I will go to John once a month for upkeep.
