About Gaetano's Massage
Gaetano of Optimal Health Management - An Experience Like Never Before!
- Centrally Located with Easy Highway Access
- Off-Street Parking
- I respond to ALL Contacts! Because many clients utilize sessions longer than 1.5 hours, it may take 2+ hours to get back to you. I always answer every phone, text and/or email - YOU are important to me!
Since 2002, I have been certified in the United States through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP). My undergraduate training was pre-medical.
Many of my clients start out as post-trauma or post-surgical patients who could not reach their desired level of physical function through other medical modalities or massage providers. Professional athletes come to me because my work goes beyond simply “feeling good”. The goal is always to bring my client to their greatest efficiency levels! Nothing less is acceptable.
My work is primarily deep tissue therapeutic and energetic. I move on the body in a manner, which allows most clients to go into an altered state; feeling little or none of the common pain associated with intense massage. By doing this, I can achieve greater ranges of muscular release, thus bringing my clients to higher function and overall physical & psychological performance.
At the end of initial sessions, the client’s common response is, "I am not in pain for the first time since…! I never have felt anything like that! What did you do to me? I feel amazing!"
I encourage men to contact me via phone or email so all questions can be fully answered. I am the expert who will work to heal your body during the session that is specifically tailored for you. I will do everything possible to make sure you are pleased with the touch and healing that you receive!
If you come to my location, 1 hour therapeutic massage is $100. If I am traveling to your location, the initial hour is $140. Please note: Additional time is based on a rate of $35 per 1/2 hour and any time that is beyond the initial 1 hour and less than an additional 30 minute interval will be billed at $35.
Massage sessions are rarely less than 1.5 hours unless a client requests less time and requires my focus on a single anatomical part. Even in 1.5 hours, it is impossible to work “therapeutically” on the “entire” body.
Energetic Healing sessions can be scheduled on location or via “distance healing” for anyone outside of my present geographic area. Please contact me for a detailed description of “energetic healing” and how it works.
I have been nationally certified as a "fitness trainer" through the American Council on Exercise, since 1992. I specialize in nutritional guidance, muscle balance, skeletal alignment, sport-specific training and weight loss/muscle development. I have been hired by health and fitness facilities to be the “trainer of their trainers”.
The core focus of all protocols, which I design, is training people to create a body & consciousness which will enliven them & allow them to move more freely in their world.
I have coached the men & women's swim teams at UCSD dealing with strength, nutrition, flexibility, focus and relaxation. Also, I have done the same training with the boy's and girl's water polo teams at Coronado High School. Audiences ranging from 13-80 years old have attended my health, wellness & nutrition seminars. Meetings for nutritional and/or fitness guidance, exercise protocol design and body alignment are $100/hour. Exercise training and fitness sessions are usually 1 hour at a rate of $75/hour.
Allow me to take your body to a place of complete relaxation and then ultimate performance!

Well as most people say - i don't write reviews - but this one deserves it. Truly a terrific experience from start to finish. Gaetano is such a sweet and nice guy he immediately makes you feel at ease. He has an immaculate place that is very warm - and a terrific dog who is so friendly. The massage was amazing - i drifted off many times. He is an expert at what he does - and truly knows who to work the muscles. if you are looking for a "true-blue" body work session this is the one you need to get!

Gaetano is a quintessential professional. He was on time - well prepared. He took the time to go over any medical issues as well as any trouble spots. He is patient and considerate. Inquired about diet and exercise, etc. His style is a different than most masseurs - slow, deliberate concentration of all areas. He is very effective, intuitive and thorough. I found myself drifting off several times. He doesn't make you feel rushed or judged. Excellent choice for a therapeutic massage. He listens well - so if you have special requests - just speak up - he'll listen! And, his dog Jack is amazing too!!

My back hasn't felt this good in years. Gaetano worked on me for over 2 hours, running well over our originally scheduled time. He dug deep and kneaded my muscles and fascia with a rare thoroughness and commitment to relieving my tension. I left, feeling like I haven't felt in years (with a completely relaxed back and body). I'd see him weekly if I lived in SD! On top of being talented and committed to his client, he's nice, friendly, has a warm and totally inviting space and heated massage table. Thanks, Gaetano!
