I've been coming here as long as you've been at this location, and always to John. He's seen me through illnesses, surgery, and a broken leg. When he touches me my body says, "Oh good, it's John. Everything will be all right now".

I founded New Seattle Massage in 1981 to bring quality massage to Seattle. I have spent the 25 years since then adding to and improving the skills I need to bring quality professional care to my clients.

What are the elements of quality professional massage?

  1. Technique: I have studied hard over the years to acquire a range of massage techniques that can address the spectrum of issues that my clients come in with. From myo-fascial release to pregnancy massage, from neuro-muscular technique to shiatsu, I cover a lot of bases. My touch can vary from gentle to very deep depending on your needs. When you come in, I can help you.
  2. Communication: It is vital to know what my clients need and want. What, if anything, is bothering you today? Have you had previous injuries that might have a bearing on this? What would you like from your massage today? The answers are key components to designing a massage session that suits you. It is also important for me to be able to convey to you my accumulated expertise in injury prevention. How will massage help you? How can you avoid injury in the future? Or maybe you're doing just fine and you really don't need any advice. That would be great!
  3. Respect: When you come in for a massage you have the right to expect certain things. Your time is important so the massage should start and end on time. Your privacy, in both paperwork and verbal interactions, should be protected. You should be treated like the important person you are. I promise to meet these important needs.

Let's work together to make you more relaxed and pain free.
