Avo is the best massage therapist I have ever had. Not only does he just heal the body but he helps to heal your soul. Avo can read client's body and knows where to concentrate his energy on the most to work through whatever problems someone's having. He is caring, knowledgeable, professional and gifted therapist. I recommend Avo to all my friends and clients. Great person, great service. Thank you. read more

I have had literally hundreds of massage therapists work on me, and Avo is definitely one of the best. He is thorough and professional. I would refer him to any of my friends and family for deep tissue work, gentle, relaxing, and invigorating massage. read more

I had a 90 minute full body massage tonight with Avo at his studio and he still has the magic touch! It was the most thorough massage I've ever received - he even massaged my face, head and tummy. Yep! So awesome! He took his time and never made the session feel rushed. He offered to clean the massage oil off with a warm towel after the massage which I thought was a nice touch. I've never liked going home all oily. I'm so glad to have found Avo. I will be back again and again! Thanks, Avo! read more

I have a number of options when I contact my chiropractor for therapeutic massage, but Avo is the only one I ask for consistently by name every time - he's amazing, kind soul, thorough and very great at what he does. HIGHLY recommended!! read more

Truly an amazing massage therapist! Avo knows exactly how to pinpoint any problem areas and relieve the pain. He is also very knowledgeable in different techniques, which makes him a very versatile masseuse. And he has such a great character! Thanks Avo! read more

Professional, experienced and excellent intuition. Will absolutely be back, great massage.,

Avo has been my go-to therapist for years now. I work long hours and am hard on my body in addition to being a distance runner. Avo's specialty is hot stone massage and I recommend it highly. I would say ideally get a 90 minute massage so that he can be thorough. I've seen him after two marathons and the difference it makes is remarkable. He's very professional and very skillful. I recommend him highly. read more

I have now seen Avo 3 times and he is great! The first 2 times I went, I had specific issues that I wanted attended to...and he not only took care of those issues, but made me feel very relaxed and I felt like I was in professional hands. The last massage was a fantastic Swedish massage that almost put me to sleep. You will NOT regret calling Avo-DO IT! read more

Avo is one of the best massage therapists I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of them.

I've been seeing him for years and always find myself back when I need really effective deep tissue work done. read more

I first came to Avo based on Yelp reviews but I keep coming back because of his amazing skill and kind manner. Avo is a highly trained massage therapist who really knows his way around the human body. He listens to your needs and is very responsive to your feedback about pressure points and areas that need extra attention. All his massages are excellent but his hot stone massage is amazing! read more

Avo is my first choice for a massage! I'm lucky to have met him through my chiropractor, and I prefer to see him first when I am in need. He has a beautiful energy and a very caring soul, and he has mastered the amount of pressure I like vs. the amount of pressure I need. Very thorough, and very relaxing. Do yourself a favor and try him. read more

Terrific masseuse! Not afraid to use pressure, but will tailor to client preference. Excellent technique. Highly recommended.

Deep tissue that hits all the right places without being painful or uncomfortable. Really therapeutic! I have recommended him to many friends and they have been pleased. He does house calls which makes it much more convenient! read more

I have been going to Avo for over a year, usually for 90-minute combination massages. He's incredibly professional and attentive, adjusting pressure and focusing on particular problem areas as needed (he's very good about checking in all throughout). His price is super reasonable and the massage is the absolute best value around. I have been to a lot of different masseuses and he is hands-down the best. Thanks Avo! read more

One of the best masseuse's ever! Avo can tell if you are injured, is polite & knowledgeable. Recommend him to everyone I know.

I've had a lot of massages in my lifetime since I've suffered from chronic back pain but Avo gave me the best massage ever! What made him stand out? Communication- he kept asking me if the pressure was good. He'd tell me what he was about to do so there are no surprises. He was a pleasure to talk to but he also allowed me moments of silence so I can enjoy the massage and relax. Technique- He applied just the amount of pressure. He was able to loosen out some knots through a combination of movements of my limbs and massage. He recommended hot stones to help ease the muscles for my next visit. I will definitely give it a try. I've always been hesitant to try it because it never sounded very relaxing to have hot rocks rubbed against my skin but since Avo has some mad skills, I'm willing to give it a go! Ambiance- it was very relaxing. The lights were dim, the essential oils he used were very soothing and the place looked clean and orderly. I absolutely loved my massage experience and would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you Avo, I will be back! read more

(Review for my first of many massages with AVO) Thank you Avo for being the utmost professional. Your deep tissue massage was exceptional in its detail and delivery.

I had another wonderful massage with Avo today. Not only did he, as always, give special attention to my particular needs at this time, but he regulated the temperature of the massage table and the room on demand. He is a dedicated and kind professional, and an interesting person. After 10 days of treatment for a sinus infection, I came home bursting with incredible energy! read more

I Highly recommend Avo, he is as good as it gets!! I'd honestly have to say that this is the best massage experience that I've ever had. Avo is extremely considerate and very professional.

I am going this eve and look so very forward to the rest and total relaxation his work provides! Thanks Avo for being one of my favorite trusted health partners! read more

One of the best gifts a friend has given me was my first massage with Avo. I am in a very stressful time period in my life. My friend recognized that I needed to de-stress and have my tense muscles worked on. Avo came to my home and gave me an hour and a half massage that left me feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. I love Avo's kind spirit and professionalism. He genuinely loves what he does and is a gifted masseuse. I plan to make massages by Avo a regular part of my well-being and stress management. read more

I had an extreme amount of tension in my shoulders and neck and after I left his place I had a huge smile on my face. Really good massage would recommend it for everyone and would definitely go back. read more

Avo is a great Massage Therapist. He worked on my back and shoulder this past weekend at an open house for a business and he was able to find knots that I didn't even know existed. He worked through them and my back and shoulder felt great afterwards. Avo also worked on a few of my friends that day and everyone's response was the same: "That was the best massage I have ever had!" I was watching Avo give massages to other people that day and realized that he really knows what he is doing. Avo takes his time and is very caring and maticulous. Thanks Avo! read more

Avo is a highly skilled masseur. He gets all the kinks out of my back and shoulders with just the right amount of pressure. He is very calming, and pays attention to details; for example. offering up an after-massage towelette dabbed with aromatherapy oils for you to keep. I usually only have time for about 15 minutes for Avo's massages -- he comes to our work place and I'm always very busy -- but it's just enough to melt away the stress and come away feeling refreshed. I definitely recommend Avo. read more

Magic! I had some excruciating pain in my neck, shoulders, and upper back. Avo was so gentle and kind. His positive energy was also very helpful. As I said my pain was very severe and he was able to provide me with so much relief. He was very thorough and his prices are reasonable. I will be going back in a few days to follow up, and I am confidant that he will take all my pain away. I would highly recommend him to anyone experiencing pain. read more

Avo is an amazing massage therapist. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Thank you Avo! read more
