I was happy I could schedule an appointment so quickly. The room was warm, the lighting was soft and the table was warm and comfortable. Mario is very knowledgeable about the body and has a gentle but strong touch. He's talented in finding areas where I hold stress. His pressure was perfect and relieved the tight areas in my back and hamstrings. He was very friendly to visit with and made me feel very comfortable. I look forward to booking another appointment with him again soon.

Mario is experienced in several massage styles, and uses that knowledge to customize his treatment to your needs. I had a pulled muscle, for example, and he adjusted our session appropriately. He communicated well, asking how much pressure I liked, but didn't talk too much either.
I plan to see him again, would definitely recommend him.

This was my 3rd massage session with Mario and somehow it just keeps getting better! He is a true artist! From the moment he puts his hands on me, my body melts into the table and I am treated to a wonderful experience! He utilizes every part of his body to give his client an out of body experience! I look forward to our next session!

One of the best massages I've ever had! From the very beginning, I was impressed with Mario's knowledge, experience and communications. I asked Mario to do a hybrid of two massage techniques, and he delivered! I walked away very relaxed and feeling great. Mario's photos are accurate and he has a comfortable massage studio. Look forward to booking again!

10/10 experience overall. Mario is such a sweet and caring man. He greeted me warmly with a hug in his relaxing space. He has aquarium tanks in his home that provide a relaxing white noise along with soothing music for maximum relaxation. Mario asked me about any problem areas that I needed addressed.
I explained to Mario that I have a neck injury that requires delicate care and extremely light pressure. I always get nervous about my injury with new massage therapists. He was very careful with my neck, using pressure that was perfect without my even having to say anything.
Mario gives a very intuitive massage. He even found trouble spots I didn’t know I had! He has grip bars installed on his ceiling above the massage table so he can stand on your legs, back, etc. The weight distribution is perfect, truly indicative of years of experience. His pressure style is medium to deep and just seems to know where I needed more or less pressure, again, indicative of his experience. Mario did multiple check ins with me throughout my massage. The oil he uses is very light, not greasy, and my skin felt so soft afterwards.
I’m a big guy, 5’10” 230lbs. I have had many masseurs on this site who have turned me away because of this. I even mentioned that I’m a bigger guy to him and his immediate response was that all were welcome on his table. I felt absolutely no judgment from him in this regard, nor did I feel any sort of shame being nude in front of him. His table was strong and sturdy and held both of us at the same time.
Massage aside, Mario is a very sweet and kind man, good conversationalist, and extremely intelligent. His mild mannered demeanor and good listening skills is one of the many reasons I will be a repeat client going forward. Mario is extremely handsome and fit. He packs a big punch in a small frame. His photographs don’t do him any justice at all! Mario is one of those unique souls that instantly puts you at ease and leaves you feeling like a million bucks!

Wow, got a wonderful massage from Mario yesterday. I told him where my stress areas were and he did not disappoint on spending time in those areas. He also did some back walking which I rarely get here in the stats. Nice deep pressure right where I need it. He was very accommodating of me being deaf, and had everything set up before we met so he knew where my areas of needs were and how much pressure I like. It was such a great massage. Hope to get another from him when I am back in the area.

I had an awesome experience to get a very sensual massage from him last week. It was the first time for me to have service with him. I was lookjng for something like walk-in- appointment and got lucky to get that from him . It was a bit drive for me from fremont to his place but totally worth it. A nice n clean place with soothing music. Being first time getting a massage with him but he still read my body and understood what i need. Very great feeling during the massage . Fully loved that till end. Definitely looking forward to visit again and having recurring sessions every 20-30 days. Thanks for the great relaxing session.

Today I had my first massage with Mario, and it was perfect! He's an expert in the structure of the human body, and his technique shows that he is highly trained and experienced. He is also intuitive about what the body needs. I knew immediately that I had come to the right place. I got exactly what I came for and more! His studio is warm and cozy, and he is very welcoming. Looking forward to seeing him again soon and regularly. I can do this more often because of his reasonable rates. His work is by far the best value for the money!

I'm leaving a follow up review now that I have had a second session with Mario. Once again I was very impressed with how quickly he responded to me when I wanted to book another appointment.
I arrived at his home,the massage space was clean, comfortable table, relaxing music playing. I was treated to another excellent 90 minute massage, where my entire body was touched. He even surprised me with an additional technique, sending me into my massage happy place!
Throughout the massage, we enjoyed a nice conversation, which I really appreciated. He is an excellent masseuse, good conversationalist and really nice man! I look forward to booking with him every month!

I came across Mario’s ad last week as I was looking for a masseur close to home and someone with experience in working out stress/tension my body tends to hold onto. I had my first appointment last week and a second appointment today. Mario is very skilled where he knows how to relax your body to where he’s able to alleviate any stress/pain/tension in a gentle manner. After both appointments I left feeling refreshed, lighter, and calm. I would highly recommend and I’m happy I found me a new massage therapist.

I saw this masseur this past Saturday for a 2 hour session at my hotel. The experience was truly amazing. He uses techniques that I have not experienced before and I have had many massages over a fairly long period of time. These techniques were, for me, sensational and relaxing in the best sense of the word. Mario is kind, patient and sensitive to his clients needs. This was really perhaps the BEST I’ve had.

We Oaklanders are fortunate to have Mario the Master Masseur. Yes, here in the East Bay is a gentleman who will give you a massage that leaves you on a cloud. I had a massage from Mario a few weeks ago and left feeling like I had never had a massage like this. Of course, after time I wondered, "Was it really as wonderful as I had remembered?" Indeed it was. His CMT skills are obvious with his touch. He can read the body to know exactly where and how much pressure will allow muscles to relax. Before this I had never had a masseur use his feet as part of his method. WOW. You can't imagine how incredible it is until you experience it. Besides having superior CMT skills, Mario is a considerate, kind and caring man. When he says in his listing that he is dedicated to providing you with the best massage ever, he really means it. Sensuality in the massage? Oh, man, absolutely. Intoxicatingly sensual. So for me, I have found my regular masseur right here in Oakland after two sessions. Thank you Mario!

The Best Masseur in the Bay Area just happens to be in Oakland. In a pleasant studio in North Oakland near the Asby Bart Station is an excellent well trained masseur who loves what he is doing. Mario is a CMT who takes the time to find the kinks and tight muscles and provide them with the pressure and and relaxation they need. Mario uses his hands, his elbows, and his feet to give an experience that is rare to find, a real massage from an experienced masseur who cares about the quality of his massage, knows the body, and provides therapy and relaxation. His work on the thighs and buttock has to be experienced, before you truly understand that this kind of work is missing from other masseurs and brings your body back into balance,loosening the tightness throughout your body. So if you want an excellent massage in the Bay Area, Mario is your man. I have found my masseur and I intend to keep returning because excellence and quality at a reasonable price is hard to find.
