3 words to describe your bodywork?
Adaptable. Healing. Relaxing.
What makes you a great massage therapist?
I’ve always been passionate about how the body works and what keeps it from working effectively. I also have a passion for learning and I use every bit of knowledge at my disposal to meet my clients needs.
What type of bodywork do you like receive?
I love more targeted and clinical bodywork. To me there’s nothing better than getting off the table free of some troublesome aches and pains that I didn’t even notice until they were gone, and once again moving in a way I suddenly remember I should have always been able to.
What do you do when you are not at the studio?
I try to split my time between spending it with friends and family and continuing to learn about areas of interest.
Mountains, ocean, or desert?
Definitely mountains, I love climbing and hiking.
What is your favorite book or movie?
My favorite book is Thinking In Bets by Annie Duke. It’s the best guide to decision making skills that I’ve personally ever seen. I think it should be required reading in high school. An entire class could easily be based on it.
Favorite Local Spot?
Veg Cafe & Bar
Favorite Treat?
Perfectly ripe pineapple, when it’s nice and juicy.

“You are personally responsible for becoming more ethical than the society you grew up in.” – Eliezer Yudkowsky
“I went through a period about 10 years ago of regularly getting massages but fell out of the habit. So I was happy to receive a gift certificate to Sacramento Massage Studio for my birthday. I had a 60 minute session with Isaac which coincided with week I had a painful crick in my neck – and I almost canceled because I wasn’t sure what was causing it and didn’t want to exacerbate it. I’m so glad I didn’t.
Isaac asked about the pain and did an amazing and skillful job focusing on my neck, shoulders and back. It was clear he knew exactly what he was doing. I’m thrilled to have found him and want to make this a regular practice again.”
“I found Sacramento Massage Studio a few years ago and they have been my go-to studio ever since. After trying a few different therapists, I’ve happily landed with Issac as my preferred therapist. He’s kind and professional, and deeply knowledgeable about massage therapy and the body. He’s also great about checking in and taking feedback during your massage and changing course when needed. I also really appreciate his weeknight availability. Issac is an asset to the Sac Massage Studio team and I hope he stays forever!”
“Isaac is wonderful. The room is always calm, relaxing and he listens to what I need at each massage. I have seen many massage therapists in my life and highly recommend Isaac.”
