David is absolutely terrific. His massages are wonderful. I have a low back injury which has bothered me for years and David works very hard constantly, trying new and different things to help me keep the pain under control. He is intuitive, kind, and genuinely cares about his clients. As someone who has gotten massage regularly for the last 5 + years by a variety of different massage therapists I can soundly say that David is one of the best I’ve been to. Highly recommend!

I agree with Marni, Beth, and Elly. David is for lack of a better word an amazing healer. I’ve tried so many things such as talk therapy, Reiki, and hypnosis. His combination of energy and Low Energy Neurofeedback is neither new age or placebo effect. I actually experienced, to my own surprise, sustained and considerable healing.

David is an incredibly talented healer skilled in so many modalaties.
My preferences change over time and right now cranial sacral is one of my favorite treatments of his. It’s really grounding and calming. His work with Tui Na helps to me feel aligned and energized. His deep tissue work gets into muscular and structural imbalances.
The LENS neurofeedback made an immediate difference in my mood when I was feeling down. That was pretty amazing. It also leaves my mind feeling clear and my perspective feels so much more open when I get the work. LENS typically is beneficial over many sessions, but it also seems like a good treatment to get when preparing for an important event or presentation. David provides very interesting information from the systems readout which shows the progress of the work. I never thought I would know so much about my brain waves and how they work!
And by far one of my favorite things is getting work from photonic stimulator. If my back is sore or I have some pain it’s like magic. While it’s on I don’t feel anything, but after a little while the pain and tension dissipate. That device is awesome!
His office is fun to visit in the historic Flood building, and it’s so easy to get to right from BART.

David has been my massage therapist/​general therapist/​healer for the past two years. David has used a fusion of Resolution Therapy and massage to help take my brain away from all the distractions in the world as well as help to heal my soul. After his departure from Stages SalonSpa, I was so thrilled that he would still be practicing at the Flood building that is conveniently located off of Market and Powell Street. With the utmost professionalism, David is hands down the most effective massage therapist I have ever had the privilege to have sessions with.

I first started getting regular professional massages (weekly) two years ago. I have been to some nice spas in downtown SF and that’s where I had my first massage by David– at Stages Salon & Spa. David’s massage was magical! So now he has his own space in the historic Flood Building and I had a massage from him yesterday. I can not recommend him highly enough. He does NOT do the timed robotic massage that I’ve had many times (most massage is good though– his is superior). He does body work and after yesterdays massage– I feel like my body has been refreshed and invigorated — not just the usual pampering I initially went to spas to get.
The space, his plush hydraulic massage table and his healing hands leads to the most wonderful massages I have EVER had (and I have had a lot).
I am so glad he has a studio now and I no longer have to search the City for ‘the one’
David is my new favorite massage therapist and I plan on sticking with him because it’s really hard to get an OK massage once you’ve experienced his excellent work.

I have been going to David for years. I love that he has his own space now. I never feel rushed or like I am just a number. He is excellent at what he does. I receive «Resolution Therapy» as well as message with David and I feel that he is the best in his field. He is caring and concerned but always professional. I would give him more stars on Unilocal if they would let me. I am better because of David’s help.
