Testimonials
"I had the pleasure of being worked on by Gil yesterday, and it was an amazing experience. His office is comfortable, and his manner was amazing. I've been to many massage therapists over the years, and I'm always amazed how someone can be technically fine but lack the intuitive touch needed to be a truly great massage therapist. Gil has that intuitive touch, and worked out knots and tension I didn't even realize was there until I was left wrung out on the table! I'll definitely be going back!"
--Kevin R.
"Gil is a natural and intuitive healer who was capable of melting away my stress and muscle tension through a combination of a couple different massage styles. He is warm, inviting, and knowledgeable, everything you'd want in a massage therapist. His rates are extremely competitive and I would highly recommend him to anybody."
--Eli O.
"Gil is a very skilled massage therapist with a strong and intuitive touch. Time flies by on Gil's table as he melts away the week's stress and tension. He's very welcoming, attentive and communicative. I can't recommend him more highly."
--Todd
"I had the wonderful opportunity to receive a barefoot shiatsu massage from Gil and I have to admit that it was one of the BEST massages I have ever received! The combination of relaxation and deep pressure to the areas of tension all added up to become a fantastic massage session. I would highly recommed this unconventional type of massage to anyone interested in specific deep pressure with shiatsu. Gil is a professional and terrific massage therapist and I definitely recommend barefoot shiatsu massage."
--Jesus A.
"Gil gives the best massages of the many I have experienced!! I am certain the reason the massages are so good is that he really seems to want to please his clients needs. He has a natural ease about him that makes me feel totally comfortable. He is also very intuitive in what he does, sensing the right amount of pressure to use on all areas of the body. If you've not had many massages, my experience indicates Gil at "Mmmassage" is the right choice for a great experience. You will definitely want to become a regular. Thanks Gil! ....Book me again for Thursday."
--Brandon
"Gil is a great masseur! I've had many massages by many different massage therapists, and Gil ranks toward the top of the list. He is very eager to learn what is most helpful for each client, and he creates a great experience for whatever tension or issues you may have. My favorite thing about Gil's massages is that they never feel rushed; he has actually gone over by a few minutes to make sure my body has been fully taken care of. I can't wait for my next massage!"
--Mike G.
"I've only experienced a few full-body massages, but the one I received a few hours ago was by far the best. My right shoulder blade (which is prone to knots) was extremely tense from a recent trip. After a week of long journeys on public transit and concrete, toting a heavy computer tucked inside my backpack, my shoulder muscles were very unhappy. Gil nimbly worked the pain out of my body and deftly uncovered knots I didn't realize I even had. He used soothing oils, and had a calming demeanor throughout. The environment was extremely comforting - my massage table was heated from within, the cloths felt soft and well-made, and Gils skill at swedish massage have me looking forward to my next appointment."
--Nick W.
"Gil is amazing! I've been to him twice to relieve some stress and have come out feeling great. He is a natural, always applying just the right amount of pressure. The last time I saw him I fell asleep on his table and that evening I felt so relaxed that I slept all night long and woke up energized and ready to go."
--Miguel S.
"Gil is someone who truly enjoys and seeks to excel at his chosen profession. He is professional and accommodating and provides a great variety of services and styles of massage. He follows up with his clients to see how they are feeling days later. Great service and he makes you feel he really cares about you."
--Jason B.
"To say that Gil’s massage is relaxing would not do it justice, it is pure bliss. From the start of it you can feel the tension seeping out of your muscles and body. By the time Gil was done with my upper back, I could notice the sharp contrast between my relaxed upper body, and my tensed up lower body. His work is truly magnificent, and I will definitely be going back for more. I highly recommend him for first timer's and those who have had much experience with masseuses’ before."
--Dustin S.
"I was definitely relaxed when I got home and slept very well. I was kind of in a daze for a while and my roommate said I looked like i just had a great massage. The massage was great, a good amount of pressure, relaxed pace and a inviting and warm atmosphere. I also liked your choice of music, much better than the usual new age stuff that you have to listen to. I'll definitely be back for another massage in the next few weeks. Thanks again!"
--Mike W.
"This was one of the most pleasant experiences that I have had in a long time. First let me say that this is a truly warm caring individual who is totally client focused. The massage was held in a clean, nicely decorated studio with music. Directions were clear and concise and the studio was easy to find. This massage addressed all area of the body and was done with deep strokes and firm pressure. The whole massage had a very intimate flavor to it which made it very relaxing. No clock watcher here just a warm caring individual who delivers a great massage. Meeting all of the clients needs. I totally recomend Gil."
--Terry
"Time is lost when on the table under Gil's skillful hands as you are immersed completely in the massage. Tension and stress are whisked away and you are left feeling like yourself again."
--Kevin L.
"Gil is a natural healer. He is intuitive, strong, steady and thorough. His strokes come straight from his heart and I leave each time feeling like I got a whole new body. He knows what I have needed every session, even if I didn't. Somehow he identifies what area of the body I need him to work on and then my drive home always makes me appreciate whatever he has done on me that day. He's a definitely a treasure to the field."
--Robert F.
"Gil was great. He is intuitive, strong, consistent and thorough. His strokes come straight from the heart and I left feeling relaxed, centered and balanced."
-- Pete
"I work outside in the trades and build up plenty of stress in my back and legs. The massage from Gil was both theraputic for the muscle tightness and relaxing. He has an even touch that is intense when needed, but tailored to which area of the body he is working on. The studio is inviting, clean and nice. I appreciated the heated pad/blanket and warm oil. Very nice. I'll be back. Thanks!"
--Scott

"If you want a deep and relaxing experience you must visit Gil. I'm not a big spa type of guy--I found my spa visits to be overpriced and mediocre, but Gil is the best! His hands provide a warm sense of healing, which comes natural. Not only is he very professional, he's very warm and inviting. I no longer live in SF, but look forward to visiting and scheduling another visit."
--Jose
"I can really appreciate a relaxing and therapeutic massage. Gil has definitely struck a balance between the long, soothing strokes and the focused muscle work that releases the tension in knotted muscles. My hour long massage felt like a ninety minute massage! He could feel the knots in my neck, back and glutes and went to work. My only suggestion is that I would have liked to have experience what his techniques are for the front of the body. I'll definitely be back for more!"
--Randy M.
