I’ve tried a few fru-fru spas in my area, but was growing tired of glorified rub downs with little-to-no technique. A friend of mine enthusiastically recommended Andrew. I had an in-cal massage at his home last week and it was great. First massages are usually(and should be) somewhat evaluative for both involved. Andy did a good job of balancing a moderate amount of pressure and not over-doing it. The resulting euphoria left me feeling great… although my 23mph drive home probably annoyed everyone behind me. He was pleasant to talk with and projects the professional attitude one would expect from a massage therapist dedicated to his craft.

Andy is just an Amazing masseur and person too. I have seen Andy several times and it just gets better. He really is a masseur who is into making people feel good with their bodies and he is into helping people who need help with aches and pains in their bodies. He takes classes on massage techniques and he improves his work because of it. He just came back from a class on lomi lomi and wow, what an experience.Andy greeted me at the door in his warm usual way. We began with putting a heating pad on my neck because I have neck issues and the heat help with the massage of it(like I said, Andy is great at understanding the body). I got undressed and began face down and that is when Andy and his magical work began. He used his arms and hands and fingers up and down my body. The pressure was medium to deep to light depending on what I needed, his hands know what you will need. He does on great job on the glutes and back and legs and neck. Then I flipped over and again it got better. He had long strokes up and down my body and used lotion all over which is great in this weather with dry skin. I can’t use words at the moment but Andy’s movements were amazing and when it ended, I was just loving the work. It was the best massage I had in my life. So If you are looking for a man who knows the body and knows how to massage, Andy is your man.

JAN2010: Thanks for the GREAT massage, Andy! Clearly you are clinically trained and professionally practiced … I left with feelings of relaxation, energy, and therapeutic relief … I’ve had many massages over the years — your technique is one of the best! Your down-to-earth personality and welcoming attitude made the experience all the better!

After a long, stressful day at work, I happily(oh yes, with good reason) jumped on the Red Line to two stops to Lawrence because I was going to get me a massage! Andrew(«Andy») is an easy-going, friendly guy who enjoys theater and rowing part-time but gives massages as his main form of income. Andy will come to your own home or you can take a visit to his cluttered yet quaint studio apartment to treat yourself to a Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular, Reflexology, or Event Sports Massage. If you really want to be spoiled, you can get a Dead Sea Mud Wrap or Body Scrub done. After I received a deep tissue massage from this friend of a friend, I am pleased to advertise his work on Unilocal and through day-to-day conversation. His prices are very reasonable and you can get yourself an additional $ 10 discount now if you 1) mention Unilocal or 2) answer his trivia website question correctly(on his old website). He also offers a sliding scale price for those who are artists, teachers or not-for-profit employees. Hell yes! Shoot him an email to make your appointment today and he’ll respond to you promptly.
