About David's Massage
I am an intuitive and skilled spiritual counselor, bodyworker, sacred intimate, and healer who has been studying and giving bodywork privately since 1979, professionally off and on since 2003. Touch is a spiritual practice for me -- affirming the unity of spirit and body, using a range of modalities and modes of communication to celebrate the wholeness of self and the sacred, erotic potential of the body.
I receive a lot of bodywork (as everyone should), and every modality I encounter informs my work. All the good stuff (I hope!) gets integrated into my own personal style of touch. You'll recognize elements of Swedish, deep tissue, reflexology, Body Electric, and Lomi Lomi for sure, and I couldn't begin to tell you what all else has snuck in over the years. (Very open to doing exchanges with other bodyworkers!)
I work happily with folks of all ages, races, genders, and body types. I am fully FTM-approved and certified :-).
When there is touch, I work on a table, primarily using pure fractionated coconut oil, which is good for your skin, washes out of fabric, and is almost entirely without scent. I believe in full body massage as an essential element of holistic healing and health maintenance. Inevitably, all engagement on this level is therapeutic, sensual, and erotic. It can be soothing or adventurous or ecstatic, or all three (and more). During our time together, you decide where and if you want to receive touch and where or if you don't. You choose the degree to which you stay clothed/draped or not -- just choose whatever will allow you to feel most fully present and blessed in your body. My keeping my shirt or shorts on is part of my commitment to be present with and for you at every moment.
If you are interested in a Sacred Intimate mode of engagement, I am happy to talk about what you want from our session and how I can help provide that.
I work in my home on the top floor of a shared house in the Inner Sunset. Because the room doubles as my academic and professional study, I pretty much guarantee some books will be lying about. Of course, the linens are always clean. The room will be warm, but extra blankets are available, and the table is equipped with a heating pad. If using a blindfold and/or earplugs will help you let go of the tensions in your life and to relax, I have those on hand, also. My druthers are to play classical music when we work together. Feel free, though, to bring a disc or two of any music you want to hear. Alternatively, ask for no music at all.
One final incentive for in calls: I have the best shower in San Francisco (no boast, just a fact) which you are welcome to use before, after or, during our session. I ask only that you arrive at the table recently showered, whether at your place or mine. If you are interested in any kind of internal touch (prostate touch, for example), please do a light cleansing before we begin.
When traveling outside San Francisco, I don't bring a table, but use either a bed or padded floor for touch work. I've gotten very adept at working this way; you won't be disappointed.
Until I get to know you well, I will solicit your feedback often during the session. We can converse or maintain quiet otherwise, whatever ensures you the best experience possible. The session begins and concludes with a moment of blessing for your physical self and your life, and I'm pretty confident you'll feel the joy in both body and spirit.
Calls accepted between 9am and 10pm only. Initial calls can be made with a blocked caller ID, but eventually I will need a callback number from you to confirm our appointment time. I do take late night appointments, but after 9pm, please text me (as opposed to calling) as a first mode of contact.
What I ultimately guarantee is a spiritual connection with you. Any money that is exchanged or that we discuss exchanging is strictly for the time I promise to be fully present for you, regardless of how we choose to use the time. Some clients ask for a session composed primarily of speech or meditation. Other clients want to begin immediately a greater level of physical engagement. The way we spend the time is up to us. The cost is determined purely according to the length of our session.
Policies regarding money:
Anytime outside the city of San Francisco): I need to add $25 to my usual rates.
For out-calls (anywhere), if substantial additional transportation costs or time are involved, we'll need to factor that into the cost of our session.
In response to a number of inquiries (and this is true for any healer you ever see): If a session, with your permission, goes overtime, or is especially meaningful to you, yes, it is fully appropriate to offer a gratuity. However, you're only responsible for paying for the length of time we agree on before the session begins.
Thanks and blessings!

This review is long overdue. I contacted David for a massage a few days in advance, and he was very accomodating. His location is easy to find, and is a splendid, welcoming home. His massage space is upstairs, and he showed me around and invited me to use that fine shower he describes. It was indeed one of the best in S.F. I'm sure. The massage itself was equally splendid - a very comfortable mix of excellent therapeutic work with a nice sensual touch throughout that kept me both relaxed and aroused. David also asked for feedback and encouraged me to let him know what parts I most enjoyed. It was all in all an excellent experience, and the ending was sublime. At the end David even shared some lovely plums he had just picked from the tree outside his window-they were just as delicious as the rest of the experience. I look forward to seeing David again, I think I may have found my regular masseur after some considerable searching. Thanks David. See you again soon, I hope.

I have seen David twice in chicago. I wish I could book him regularly. He is very special. He is entirely professional. We talked before we met the first time and ended up scheduling on my birthday. He sang for me when I arrived. He checks in consistently with you, is fully engaged with you. This man has a gift. He takes his work very seriously. It Is clear that he loves what he does and I was in bliss both times. The second time was that much better because I completely trust him with my body. He is funny, sexy, and sweet. It was a beautiful experience and connection with him. I can't wait for the next time!Masseur Remarks:
And I want to relocate YOU to San Francisco, so we can connect more often! A special pleasure for me both times, and I felt fortunate and honored to have been part of your birthday. I hope to see you again SOON! Blessings, David

David was visiting in San Diego so didn't have his table along, so he was very accommodating by coming to my house. We had to use a bed, but once he started working on me he kept going until all of my aches and pains were gone. He definitely likes feedback during the work and he seemed to really get into finding all those tight places that needed an extra touch; even the balls of my feet and toes were feeling better when he finished. He ran over to get all of me worked over. I would love to feel his hands again.Masseur Remarks:
Thanks for the feedback. I think I ran overtime because I just didn't want to stop. We found that synergy between the giving and receiving that makes this work so mystically satisfying to me. It was a remarkable connection. Blessings.

I am quite selective about who I go to for bodywork. (I used to be a CMT and will admit to being a bit of a massage snob.) David's technique is excellent, he is extremely intuitive and great at finding all of the knots and places that need extra attention. I felt totally comfortable with David, which is important to me as a transman. Like many FTMs, I have large scars and numb areas on my chest, he did great chest work on me, which can be very difficult for me to get from most massage practitioners. Additionally, I was just getting over a migraine when I went to David, his work on my neck and back was amazingly helpful. I cannot say enough about how great this massage was! I felt renewed and refreshed in my body and spirit.Masseur Remarks:
Thanks for the chance to let my hands sojourn on your bod. I'm glad I was able to help lift the migraine. That massage left me feeling energized and blessed. See you again soon, I hope.

David is an absolutely amazing masseur. There is so much I could say about him; it's hard to encapsulate a review here. However, from the first call with him to when his hands began their work on me, I could feel a connection with him. It was fortunate for me that David was traveling to my city, and I was able to book my first session with him. At the time, I was seeking a session that was both therapeutic and sensual. What I received was a holistic massage that left me feeling completely connected (body, soul, spirit). I can't recall having a session that left me feeling as blessed as I felt when I left David. His spirit is open and freely giving. My session was amazing, and all the elements I needed were there. He's so very attractive, with a wonderful voice that can put anyone at ease, no matter how stressed they may feel. After my first session, I noticed David was returning to my city 10 days later, and I jumped at the chance to meet with him again. The feelings of being centered, calm, and connected have not left me and I can only dream of the day when I'll have another session with David. That day will come soon, as David's work is worth traveling for. You can get bodywork from anyone (clearly with so many options on this site), but it is very few men that will cause you to crave another session several weeks after. David is just that exceptional.Masseur Remarks:
I really value the connection we made -- it had a palpable spiritual impact on me, also. Hope to see you again soon. Any city, any time. Blessings to you, always.
A pleasure. Glad to share the time, the shower, AND the plums (I need to start preserving some for the *off* season, though!). Blessings!!
