What a professional! Ladies, if you are reluctant to use a male for your massage and pass this guy up, you are loosing out big time. Without a doubt the very best massage I have ever had… hands down. He has a vast degree of experience and is attentive to the individual needs of his clients. Two of my family members also had massages by him and all of us were extremely well pleased, as we all had different«issues» for him to solve, and solve he did. Superior!

Best I’ve ever had– Kirk is a pro– great deep tissue massage after a great hike in Yosemite makes for a perfect vacation. Had my massage next to the creek behind the Awahnee hotel. Primo spot and massage Only wish he was closer to Orange County

Few things are more enjoyable than a good massage after a day of vigorous hiking. My girlfriend and I each had one hour massages with Kirk. He came to our cottage at The Ahwahnee. It was clear after just a couple minutes that he had quite a bit more experience than your typical spa masseuse. Kirk dialed up significant pressure and intensity as I preferred a ‘sports massage’. He was friendly, professional, on time and a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommended.

when I worked in Yosemite Park, for many years, I(and others) had Kirk come to my house for therapeutic massages as often as possible. Now that I live just outside Yosemite, and semi-retired, I still call on Kirk when I hurt or just want a good massage. His massages aren’t just relaxing(although they are that), they are therapeutic. I might have a general idea where I hurt, but he can find exactly where and how to get after it. From skull to feet, he is a natural when it comes to the human body — serious, passionate and very professional about what he does.(I have experienced many professional masseuses at spas, etc. They help — a massage always feels good — but they cannot compare to Kirk’s skills.

We hiked Half Dome the day before and made appointments with Kirk for 4 of us to get massages the day after. Excellent experience. He did a great job taking care of the aches and pains following a long, long hike. He is a professional and met the needs of all in our party. Would definitely recommend. He came to the house we were renting in West Yosemite. Perfect.

Best massage ever! I worked in the Physical therapy and chiropractic fields for nearly 20 years, so I know a good massage. While on vacation in Yosemite my back pain started acting up, exacerbated by a 5 hour car ride. After Kirk’s great work I was pain free, and am still feeling great a week later(even after the car trip home). Kirk saved my vacation! My only complaint is that he doesn’t live in my town!

Kirk is so fantastic. My wife and I use him regularly and he is one of few massage therapists that will actually travel to you. Kirk actually does work all over Mariposa County and beyond so don’t let the Yosemite title throw you off. His years of experience and healing touch are amazing. He recently just helped some pain nearly disappear in my hip that had been there for years. As a former athlete that still works out regularly it has always been difficult to find someone that can handle a larger individual like myself. We highly recommend.

Enjoyed Kirk’s massage on our Yosemite vacation this summer, right in our room in Curry Village. I am a yogi and a new runner, coupled with lots of hiking, biking, and kid-chasing in Yosemite, which meant I was filled with knots and soreness. He had super strong hands and worked out so many of my muscular issues. It hurt a little bit at times– but in that good way you know will produce results, which is what I wanted. He will bring the spa to you, complete with massage table and relaxing music. Will be calling him next summer for sure when we return! Highly recommend!

Seriously one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Kirk knows every single muscle that hurts and makes you feel whole again!

Are your«up hill» muscles hurting from the hike to Vernal Falls? Or maybe your calves and shins are mad from the trip down? Not to worry Kirk will have you back on your feet and enjoying the beauty of Yosemite. I found Kirk through a recommendation at the Curry village front desk. Kirk is VERY well know in the valley. In fact, I worried I wouldn’t be able to find him the following year BUT this was not the case. Mention massage to any of the front desk people in the Yosemite Valley and they will say«Kirk!» Being a massage therapist myself I am very happy with his style. It’s as if he has fine tuned his massages to the needs of hikers, walkers and avid bike riders. He is amazing, enjoy!
