HELD was born out of a desire to provide safe and reliable body work for all. Committed to a trauma-informed approach to massage, HELD offers people a space to reconnect with their own bodies and, through personalized restorative touch, feel invigorated, unwound, and blissed out.
Bodybuilders, and people who’ve never worked out a day in their life. Gay, lesbian, trans, non-binary, cis-gender, and straight people. Disabled people. Survivors. Tall, short, fat, skinny, and averagely built people. The old, the young. The confident, the self-conscious. Someone celebrating, someone grieving. Newlywed, newly single. Tired people, anxious people. Overworked, underworked. Massage enthusiasts, and those who have never been massaged a day in their life…
Hello! I’m Adam ☺
I’m a Certified Massage Therapist (#102901) and California native, raised in the Bay Area and an Angeleno of 15 years. Before massage therapy, I worked in TV production for 14+ wonderful years. I’ve always been someone who has wanted to make people feel supported, celebrated, comforted, held. My happy place is at the movie theater. My most played artist since 2017 has consistently been SZA. And I’m a proud dog dad and helicopter parent to the best pitbull in the world, Carter!
