I came to this work through a lifetime of learning what men carry in their bodies: stress, loneliness, guardedness, grief, desire, shame, and the deep hunger to be touched without judgment.

My practice is built around healing touch for men. The work is warm, intuitive, consent-based, body-positive, and emotionally grounded. I create a private space where men can soften, breathe, reconnect with their bodies, and feel welcomed exactly as they are.

Years ago, I completed formal massage school training and additional continuing education in deeper touch techniques. I am not currently licensed as a massage therapist in Texas and do not represent my work as licensed massage therapy. Today, my practice centers on healing touch, Reiki-informed energy work, cuddle therapy, breathwork, tantra-informed touch, and coaching.

My background also includes Reiki training, work with Kyle Hoffman in cuddle therapy and life coaching, and facilitation and training in men’s personal growth work through the Mankind Project. Just as importantly, I bring lived experience as a mature gay man who understands the complexity of intimacy, aging, body image, loneliness, desire, vulnerability, and self-acceptance.

My style is steady, nurturing, masculine, emotionally present, and deeply respectful. Think daddy/bear warmth, healer presence, and the kind of care many men have needed for a long time.

All male-identifying people are welcome here, regardless of age, race, size, or sexuality. My goal is to provide a mature presence, compassionate care, and healing touch for men seeking relaxation, grounding, safe closeness, sensual integration, and real human connection.

I look forward to our work together.
