Gary is an absolutely fantastic and professional massage therapist who understands what my joints and muscles need each time. He uses a variety of techniques and always goes out of his way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. Always polite, courteous and makes me feel rejuvenated and ready to tackle my next heavy workout! read more

I've been seeing Gary for quite sometime, I'm a massage therapist and he is my go to man. He always receives me with a big smile and a warm embrace, his place inspires comfort, calmness and serenity. Before getting on the table he asks me about my problems areas and depending on my requests he assesses what kind of massage he's going to give me that day. He is has knowledge of a wide range of modalities and that is a wonderful thing. During the massage he is alway checking on me and adjusting pressure if needed. I alway leave his place feeling taller and ready to take on the world. I highly recommend him and coming from another massage therapist this is great compliment. read more

Gary is absolutely amazing. I was a little skeptical the first time I went to his at-home studio, being a woman and all, but Gary made me feel really comfortable and is not creepy at all! His at-home studio is really clean and comfortable and I instantly felt relaxed. At our first session he spent 10-15 minutes doing an intake and discussing massage options, my problem areas and the plan for the massage. I've now been to him twice and the second visit was even better than the first! He remembers all the details about your previous session and truly customizes the massage for what your body is in need of that day. I have multiple back and neck injuries that can cause my body to be like a board. Gary was receptive to my feedback but also could feel and figure out specific problem areas and then fix them. He is a seriously talented masseuse! I would recommend Gary to anyone looking for a massage, whether you want a sports massage, feel good massage or something in between. Awesome, awesome guy! read more

Gary hits all the right spots on me, and his studio is quiet and relaxing. I've been going to him for a year now - don't hesitate!

Gary helped me recovery quickly from an acute back injury. With his treatment advice and his excellent massage technique, I was able fully recover and run the Marine Corps Marathon. Thanks Gary! I couldn't have done it without you!! So glad I found you on yelp! read more

I was visiting DC to run the Marine Corps Marathon and I wanted a post-marathon massage to soothe my sore muscles. Very easy to contact via his website / email. We arranged to meet at his Arlington studio. I also asked him to arrange another therapist to massage my wife at the same time. His studio is not usually set up for that however he was very kind and accommodated us. Gary and Michael both greeted us at the door. Both were super nice and immediately made us feel right at home as if we were long time clients. Gary provided a perfect stretching and myofacial release massage which is just what I needed after pounding out 26.2 miles. He was easy to talk to and concerned with my level at comfort throughout the massage. My wife says her massage was relaxing and heavenly. I would use him or Michael again without hesitation next time we are in Washington DC. read more

I had my first massage from Gary today. With massages, it's hard to stand out in a good way - Gary's massage did. He's the real deal. He mixes different forms of massage into a single massage, depending on what he thinks you needs. He lets you have your space and relax, but he is open to questions or requests. Gary is an exceptional massage therapist. In terms of the space, it is clean and comfortable. Gary does a great job setting the ambiance. His at-home massage studio is on par with the best massage parlors. I will definitely be returning. read more

I called Gary in a panic 4 hours before I wanted him to give an in-my-home massage. I'd never met him before, but I was desperate because another massage therapist canceled on me at the last minute. This massage was supposed to be the main component of a 50th birthday celebration for my friend. Gary was kind, prompt and incredibly accommodating. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone!!! He is a kind soul that genuinely wants his clients and people in general to be happy!! This is the kind of business that every small business should aspire to be! Absolutely wonderful!!! BTW, Gary doesn't just do mobile, in-home massages. He mainly does massages around the Rosslyn area - super convenient to most people's commute! read more

Disapppointed. Had trouble finding the place, phoned a few minutes after my appointement was to start to let him know I was running late - but there was no response, just had to leave a message. Same thiing with texts - no response. When I got to his place, no one home! I hear he's highly recommended, but my experience was not positive. Communication could be better. read more

I have been a client of Gary's for almost ten years, getting regular deep tissue massages to help manage chronic migraines. I've followed him across a few different massage studios in DC and now see him regularly at his private studio. He takes the time to hear where I am and what I need, and blends that with his skills finding areas of tension and concern during the massage. Meeting Gary was a gift that has helped me manage chronic pain and stress more effectively. Couldn't recommend his services more highly. read more

This was my second massage with Gary and probably the BEST massage I've had ever. Gary's studio is so welcoming and calming. You instantly feel relaxed. His technique is perfect and it was an overall extremely pleasant experience. My only complaint is that the 90 minutes flew by so quickly. I may have to treat myself to 120 mins next time. I haven't felt that relaxed in quite some time. Thanks, Gary! read more

My partner and I have been going to Gary for over a year. If that isn't testimony enough, read on... Each visit is unique. He uses a different technique each time, but always able to find those areas that are extra tense or stressed that need attention. And he will work them out, gradually, not forcefully. Sometimes my shoulders and neck are so tense from computer work that that is all he works on, other times the tension is in my lower back. He is attentive to what your body needs and how it reacts. If you want an excellent, professional massage I highly recommend you contact Gary. But he does more than just that, he also considers your body as a holistic unit and can help make suggestions to keep you healthier and happier in life. Every time I go to Gary I leave refreshed and ready to face the world. Although sometimes he will get you so relaxed that it takes a few minutes to recover enough to face the real world again. Gary is an exceptional person and a gifted masseur. read more

Gary is the BEST massage therapist you will find - anywhere. The absolute best. He will become the measurement for which all other massages in your life are judged against. He is an expert at his craft, an artist if you will. And as if that wasn't enough, he's also incredibly kind. Book an appointment - you will only be sorry you didn't go to him sooner. To get to his studio, I usually get out at Courthouse Metro and take the easy walk (under 10 minutes). read more

I've been going to Gary regularly for 6 months now and I can't recommend him enough. He is an experienced masseuse and his location in Arlington, 1-2 miles near the Rosslyn metro, is perfect for my needs. His availability also makes it easy to incorporate a regular massage into my busy work week. Gary's such a rare find since he's extremely professional, friendly, knowledgable, and effective. He has a room in his home that is dedicated for his massage services. His home is set up with a spa-like feel: modern, clean, welcoming, comfortable, easily accessible, and plenty of free parking around the building without time and day restrictions. I make my appointment arrangements via email and text since he responds very quickly. The massage is always effective. I am an active elementary teacher and I'm constantly on my feet, kneeling down to my students' level, and using all of my energy. It takes a toll on my body. I also practice yoga regularly. Gary can find my tense spots easily even if I'm not aware of them! He is able to give me relief as well as keep my athletic body in tip-top condition so I don't miss out on my yoga practice. I have never regretted carving out an hour of my time to get a massage from Gary and I always leave refreshed, rejuvenated, and often in a dreamlike state! He asks if there are any specific issues or areas in my body that I'd like him to focus on. I usually don't have any major issues to report, but he can tell what my body needs. I appreciate his attention to detail: the sheets are tucked in and they aren't wrinkly under or over me. The music, lights, temperature, and ambience are always just right. He uses a massaging oil that doesn't leave my skin oily so I can meet friends afterwards without having to freshen up at home first. Gary includes heated stones in his massage, whereas there's an extra charge at other massage locations. He also wipes off the massage oil from my back with heated damp towels. It's the little things that add up to make a unique and complete experience. Each massage is customized with the perfect amount of pressure. (I prefer strong to very strong pressure.) Gary also gives me the full hour vs. a 50 minute massage that other massage businesses offer. He schedules his clients intelligently so that I never feel rushed to leave. I should also mention that my health insurance reimburses my massages. It's worth calling your insurance company to take advantage of this valuable benefit. read more

Gary's massage was more than great. He accommodated my special needs and saw me on short notice. He was extremely attentive and caring. His pressure is firm and the strokes get the pain out of muscles very effectively. I highly recommend him. read more

Big guy here - #230, 6'2," gym/soccer rat. Gary helped me through an injury about a year ago. It was such a pleasant experience, I have remained as a client. Once every three-four weeks I spend 90 minutes with him and get totally reworked. If you are a weekend warrior or just a beast, contact this dude. No regrets. read more

My massage with Gary was amazing! It was very easy setting it up and his place is very clean, comfortable, easy to get to. He makes you feel welcome as soon as you get to his place and the rest is just pure bliss. I highly recommend him because of his vast experience, great techniques, and beautiful personality. read more
