What an amazing and fantastic experience! I had a very relaxing and stimulating massage from a very sweet, kind, and easy going professional person. He was very thorough and detailed. A real gentleman before, during, and after. I really enjoyed our conversations, he made me feel more relaxed and at ease with myself and with him. I was very comfortable and very happy with the overall session. His hands and techniques were very thorough and rejuvenating. A Top notch and first class quality session. His place was very clean and welcoming. The ambience was very soothing, peaceful and calming.

I highly recommend to anyone looking for a well worth and professional experience. He was very easy to book and very accommodating. I am most definitely looking forward to coming back from my out of town work to see him in December. Drake you are nothing short of an awesome masseuse and an even better person! I am deeply grateful to call you my friend!!

This is my third session over about 5/6-weeks with Drake. If you happen to have seen my prior reviews you will read of how I have been taken with his expertise, relaxing environment and his ‘mastery’ towards therapeutic needs. You may read also of my desire to learn more of what he may offer, over time. As comfortable as I already am, I am willing to ‘go-to-Drake’ and consider him part of my Bodily Wellness Team.
Today’s session was of shorter duration than my usual couple hour, just 1 hour, but was still more exploratory in nature.
Along with the standard massage (this time abbreviated due to my schedule) we approached some reflexology which I had never experienced.
Drake first described what the impact might be, in a very plain, not condescending and fully understandable layman’s manner. Boy was I again impressed. Who knew that manipulation of feet can ease back and shoulder pain? Surely I didn’t. We spent more than a third of the time on this as it was integrated with calves, which also helped to alleviate some back discomfort, that I was facing. This too was at Drake’s suggestion.
Getting near to the point of trust and being totally comfortable with Drake, he has suggested that we try next ‘trigger-point’ manipulation, which is why my Doctor has suggested massage. I was too tender previously but feel the bold of relief, probably because of my extended periodic sessions with Drake.
I am hopeful to get in next week and as I increasingly feel the benefit as well as the enjoyment of Drake’s knowledgeable presence, I believe that I may go to an every 10-day schedule as opposed to the intended once every 2 weeks that was recommended.
Like I have said before guys: Drake seems to know a phenomenal amount about the male physiology. He truly has broached areas that even my Doctor has missed. He should totally be more than an idle consideration for your physical self care or even just at times that you are in need of an engaging bodily treat.

5-Stars and stay tuned…

These are my impressions of my second occurrence with Drake. My first was about 10 days ago and based upon the success of that session he and I are looking to identify a comfortable recurring sequence to suit my needs. In doing so I am discovering the vast set of skills and expertise that he ‘literally’ brings to the table.
As a reminder or for anyone considering: I am a very thin built mature male with back, trigger point and neurological issues, who was initially looking for Doctor recommended therapeutic massage. With that said, I am growing to learn that Drake is equipped to customize any session and has the tempered wherewithal to do so without judgement nor fail. He seems to smoothly transition over the areas of my body that are sensitive while he also provides the most soothing approaches to the areas that can handle a stronger touch. This session we went a bit further than the initial session and incorporated a stretching technique (that we got to a comfortable level) as well as a ‘hot-stone’ technique that while initially was slightly uncomfortable was masterfully adapted to a level that was both comfortable while also somewhat pleasurable. Lastly, what I am increasingly finding most satisfying is his level of feedback and acceptance. Some methodologies were too much for me and he knowingly backed off and proceeded with a different approach. Very satisfying.
To close this out I want to finalize with 2 points that I, personally, find remarkable. Drake’s professional desire to please his clients is so very apparent as he does definitely listen, when needed, and amend to the needs of the client (me) while he also does not shy away from recommendations of bodywork techniques that I (client) was never aware of. All of this he provided without being pompous nor arrogant, moreso he was just offering satisfying alternatives. My history is of over 25 years of receiving massage (from 4 steady masseurs) yet I have never encountered this level of ‘openness’, even through menu-based national chains who supposedly offer it all.
Lastly, in my case, I will need (from Doctor’s recommendation) other care that I had imagined would require ‘other’ practitioners. What I am beginning to understand is that his knowledge extends far beyond simple massage, which was my initial intent. In near future, he and I will attempt sessions where we can discuss nutrition (to reduce joint inflammation), further stretching (for flexibility), as well as minor strengthening exercises to further enhance my wellness journey, after multiple health issues.
I would say to anyone considering a session with Drake: whether it to be gifted to someone or experienced yourself as a body treat, a needed mind/body centering, zen-like relaxation or even therapeutic (like myself) that it is absolutely worth the investment. We only live once and it is always important to do all that we can to attempt to reach the best of what we can be.
For those who are already enamored with his approach I would recommend that you investigate other services that Drake can possibly provide.
He is trustworthy, kind and definitely knows his field.
