Glenn is a winning combination of smarts with skills that has been helping me immensely and regularly for two years helping me to relax and work through ongoing issues resulting from a serious car accident.

With his medical background and his incredible dedication and listening to my needs, Glenn is one of the best massage therapists I've ever had and has incredible technique. Every time I ask him to focus on an area he does and will do something I haven’t had done before and is always on the right level of strength I request.

I recently saw Glenn and was incredibly tense and tight and having pain in my neck and Glenn corrected all of it and did manual lymphatic drainage for my head and neck - when he left I felt much lighter and looser and very relaxed.

Glenn is respectful, punctual, professional, and really understands how his touch can make a huge difference. I leave the massages with Glenn very relaxed and not wanting to wait long until the next. I am very grateful to be working with Glenn and cannot recommend him enough!

What stood out during my massage session with Glenn was his ability to tailor the experience to my specific needs. He took the time to understand my preferences and concerns, making the session truly individualized. This personalized touch added a special element to the overall experience, enhancing the benefits of the compression boots, manual lymphatic drainage, and reiki. I left not only energized but also appreciative of the thoughtful and personalized approach Glenn provided.

I highly recommend 🙂

Glenn is a gem! I just had my first session with him and it was way more intentional and comprehensive than any other massage therapy I’ve ever had. Glenn asked all the right questions to understand my areas of pain and tension. The session started with a relaxing detox session in the uv sauna. Then, Glenn used therapeutic ultrasound on my trigger points for about 30 minutes, and was able to do more to break down my knots and scar tissue than weeks of normal sessions. Glenn also relieved my TMJ—it was immediately noticeable—my jaw stopped popping!

He is thorough, diligent, kind, and professional. I highly recommend him.

Glenn is outstanding and the work he did with me in preparation for and following my top and liposuction/body masculinization surgeries made the biggest difference in my recovery!

Glenn was one of several therapists recommended by my surgeon. I reached out to several but Glenn stood out from the start - he demonstrated the most sensitivity and competence in dealing with gender affirming care and his bedside manner did so much to ease my anxiety in the first two days post surgery. We first met the day before my surgery for a pre-operative manual lymphatic drainage session. He provided continued education and support to help with surgery, nutrition, and proper positioning, among many other tips and tricks he shared. I cannot recommend him enough.

The manual lymphatic drainage massage was much more helpful than I expected and Glenn did an absolutely wonderful job. The swelling from body masculinization (liposuction) was especially difficult to tolerate but each session significantly improved drainage and reduced swelling.

But even more than that, Glenn put his years of care and expertise to use and was crucial in helping me and my partner care for all of my post-operative needs. He stepped in when we did not get sufficient support from my surgery team and filled in the gaps: he showed us how to properly care for the surgical drains, how to use liposuction foam, what signs and symptoms to look out for, answered all our questions and did so much to reassure us. He shared significant resources, including two books on plastic surgery post-operative care by Kathleen Lisson and Nicole Psomas. He also set up continued care for me in my home state through his network of practitioners.

In short, Glenn is much more than a massage therapist: he was a crucial piece of my post-operative care and recovery. Without him, I would have undoubtedly had a significantly less successful recovery. If I were to recommend my surgeon’s practice to others, I would absolutely insist they include Glenn in their treatment plan!

Glenn is amazing. I have been coming to see him for his varied services and expertise in post-operative healing and rehabilitation for almost three years now for multiple life changing events.

After having my daughter I wanted to gift myself a body that reflected my youthful 30+ self. The post-operative tummy tuck recovery I suffered were swelling and bloating after 8 months of healing. My plastic surgeon gave me conflicting information about my healing process which made things worse for me. I was told MLD is not necessary and by following his instructions caused bloating and swelling. I meet Glenn and told him all the things I was going through. He listened deeply and asked relevant questions and took a thorough history and assessment which I appreciated very much. After receiving Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage (MLD) I instantly felt a difference. I was peeing out all the fluid that was causing the swelling even after 8 months from the surgery. Another method Glenn used was lymphatic K-tape to help with the swelling. He also gave me a lot of information on how nutrition can play a role in swelling, and also emotional support. Glenn has a lot of wisdom and expertise in the field of post-operative plastic and cosmetic surgery recovery and therapy. Everything he recommended work and helped me tremendously for my tummy tuck recovery.

In addition, Glenn has experience with Reiki and during our Manual Lymphatic Drainage sessions I shared with him that I had a benign cyst in my ovaries that caused a lot of painful bleeding. Glenn recommended Reiki after explaining the history, and how it may help with this. I was skeptical as I am a data analyst and don’t believe in this type of stuff. Shockingly after Glenn did Reiki on my lower abdominal region by the next morning the bleeding was significantly less and my pain level was a lot lower. I was blown away how Reiki combined with MLD had helped with my gynecological issues even my OB/GYN had no solutions to besides surgical interventions. Most importantly, the stress associated with these issues vanished during that one Reiki session!

Lastly, his deep knowledge of the human body and the specific modalities Glenn has in his tool kit has profoundly with my carpal tunnel syndrome. He did an ergonomic assessment of my work desk as I work from home threading the importance of home exercises, stretching and his clinical interventions to a point it prevented me from having carpal tunnel surgery. Using his many techniques he was able to stop the numbness and pain I was experiencing. Thanks to his continuous support my carpal tunnel has improved significantly.

Glenn is truly an angel. He really takes the time to listen to your needs and make sure before your session is over you are 100% satisfied. I also love how he follows up the next day to see if he can offer support. From my tummy tuck surgery recovery, female gynecological issues, to my carpal tunnel syndrome Glenn has the rare talent of healer AND a highly competent clinician.

Check out my cool sauna pictures. I used Glenn sauna during my sessions to also help with swelling.

I have been under Glenn's care for almost a year now, and I must say that he is an exceptional healer. After undergoing a traumatic surgery, I hired him to perform manual lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) to aid my post-surgery recovery. Despite the stress that came with the horrific surgery, Glenn's presence kept me calm. He's highly knowledgeable about MLD, and beyond that, he also offers other services like deep tissue massage, Reiki healing, cupping, and microneedling facial (PRP). I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for pre & post-surgery rehabilitation and healing services.

I had the opportunity to experience Reiki with Glenn and his hands are magic. The session was everything I needed to feel grounded and calm. Glenn helped me regulate my nervous system and I left feeling lighter. Thank you so much! I'll be back soon. Salamat!

I've had pain in my neck and shoulder area for years, and chiropractic adjustments did nothing to relieve it. After one session with Glenn, I immediately noticed the difference. He has now worked with me 4-5 times and I have improved so much. I highly recommend him!
