About

Hey there, my name is Raphael but most people call me "Raffi". I am a licensed massage therapist with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. I've always had a strong passion for helping people and that has guided me into where I am today.

I believe there is more to massage therapy than just relaxation; I look at it as an investment to your health and wellbeing. Whether you're training for competitions, working a physically demanding job, or spending long hours at a desk, everybody's body is going through wear and tear. My approach combines understanding human movement and hands on techniques that have shown to help reduce muscle tension and have you leave each session feeling better than when you walked in. I'll also be happy to provide debriefing after our sessions detailing what I found in my work and what exercises could help support long term relief.

Every session is designed specifically for you, come visit me at my studio in Lawerenceville and see what kind of help I can provide for you!

Ive been seeing Raffi for a while now, and I’d be here all day and night writing all the positives I have to say. Knowledgeable and always helps loosen the tension in my neck/shoulders. I see him at least once a month at this point

Raffi is kind, talented, and clearly cares about his clients. He asks thoughtful questions to ensure your massage is best tailored to you. His rates are incredibly fair and it’s clear he wants massage therapy to be accessible by everyone. I’ve never consistently gone to one massage provider before, but will do so now!

Super easy to schedule. Raffi really works to make your massage unique to you. I have difficulty with upper back and neck. He worked out all my knots effortlessly. As someone who is in chronic pain, I HIGHLY recommend checking out his studio!
