About Max

I'm originally from New York, and I grew up as a musician — a cellist. Years of daily practice gave me strong, sensitive hands and a lot of patience. Long before I studied massage, I was spending hours a day learning to feel things through my fingertips.

The other half came from my mother, a modern dancer who specialized in contact improvisation, where two bodies move together in constant contact. She did those exercises with me from the time I was a kid, and they taught me how to read another person's body: where the weight is, where it's tense, where it wants to go. She had studied massage herself, and working on her shoulders after rehearsals is where my interest in massage started.

I studied music performance in college and gave massages on the side the whole way through. After college I landed in San Francisco, where I trained formally and became a licensed massage therapist in California.

When I moved back to New York, the requests started changing: women were asking me for erotic massage. I didn't want to improvise, so I went and studied yoni massage and tantric massage properly. It fit naturally with how I've always been with partners: giving, patient, and more interested in her pleasure than my own.

I studied tantric massage in Indonesia, and I still travel every winter to keep learning, mostly in Southeast Asia, Hawaii, and California.

Today I split my time between music and massage. I'm a working musician with my own entertainment company, and I see massage clients every week.

I focus on relaxation, and on creating arousal through anticipation and slow, sensual touch. I prefer to work out of my studio in Queens, where we can take our time, never worry about noise, and I control the whole experience: the warmth, the oil, the music, the privacy. I'm also available for outcall to homes and hotels.

And since women ask: I'm straight, and I enjoy building chemistry with anybody. Older, younger, any body type, any background, any orientation. If you are a woman, you are a potential client.
