Shivaloka Bodywork Brooklyn - Holistic Massage Therapy by appointment

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Chad, and it was nothing short of magnificent. Chads unique blend of massage techniques, acupressure, and energy work created a deeply soothing and restorative experience. It has been quite some time since Ive felt this level of relaxation. Chad’s space is welcoming and radiates tranquility, complementing his naturally caring and enveloping touch. His attention to detail and ability to tailor the session to my needs were impressive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and recharge. Thank you, Chad, for such a nurturing session!

I had an amazing session with Chad. He’s a very warm and welcoming person, and his space is very calming. He did a combination of sound baths, acupressure, and massage. I left feeling a shift in my body. As someone who has had many massages, this one had a different impact.Thank you Chad!

Chad works miracles. I walked in with an unusable shoulder and walked away with mobility and free of pain. Hes extremely thoughtful and caring, especially in the conversations before and after the work. Im grateful to have been referred and looking forward to seeing him regularly.

The best kept secret in Bushwick, New York. I am now a customer for life. I have traveled the world, received massages from the best, but this massage was magical and exemplary. Chad is extremely knowledgeable with over 30 years of experience. He is extremely professional and his studio is clean and inviting. He comes highly recommended and my mission is to now spread the word.P.S I am a Physician so l am very verse in human anatomy.

Hands down the best massage I’ve ever had. I’ve had many massages. Chad managed to facilitate a huge energetic and physical shift after an injury. I felt so safe and calm during the session and for days after. Thank you!

Chad is a healer with deep expertise. I can be prone to OCD and I came in during an episode of looping thoughts. I walked out feeling freedom from having to think, a reminder to do less, and a greater sense of ease and flow with life. It was a turning point. Not to mention my Oura ring logged the most restorative sleep Ive had all week the nights after. I also appreciate how Chad sits down to talk with you before and after the session. Everything is orchestrated with intention and there is intention behind every touch.

I had a wonderful and relaxing experience with Chad, and would recommend this holistic therapy to everyone! I booked a 90-minute session and left feeling extremely limber and relaxed. Its been a few days since the massage, and I feel that I have new insight into habits that are contributing to my issues (shoulders/neck/back) that I would not have had without Chads help. I will definitely be returning soon!

Chad is hands down a professional, an expert, and a gifted healer. He is so welcoming and intuitive. I can’t say enough good things about his work!!!

I booked an appointment after waking up with pretty debilitating neck pain. Chad was able to see me that morning. Chad was kind, professional, and offered insight as to how I can avoid the pain in the future. The space was very clean and relaxing, and Chad was very accommodating! He is a really cool dude in addition to being a veteran massage therapist. My pain is gone and my back and neck feels so much better. Even more, he took the time to educate me on some fascinating things about how our bodies work. I highly highly recommend Chad!

I was looking to treat myself with a birthday massage and Chad was super responsive and amazing with the entire treatment. As someone who is about to attend school for Massage Therapy, Chad was thoughtful enough to share his experiences in the field that made me even more certain about this path. I felt that he was really able to feel what I needed without me even telling him. I felt thoroughly relaxed and rejuvenated when we were done that it felt more like a re-birth day.

Chad was amazing! He really cares to personalize the experience to exactly what you need. The space is very calm and welcoming. One of the best massage sessions I have ever experienced! Will definitely be back.

Chad is amazing!! He was very welcoming, attentive and instantly made me feel comfortable the moment we met. His massage was one of the best massages I’ve ever gotten, I love the way he incorporated different techniques. 1000% recommend!!

Chad is an excellent massage therapist and getting a massage with him for a very positive experience. He is very skilled, knowledgeable professional and nice. I will definitely be returning and have already recommended him to several colleagues.I was a little hesitant going alone to a stranger’s home studio, but he made me feel comfortable, and his place was clean and welcoming. His massage room was very much like one you would find in a larger/dedicated place of business.

So grateful I stumbled upon Chad’s google page! Receiving a massage was such a blissful experience. Extremely professional yet personable, the space he has cultivated to work his magic feels so safe and relaxing. My favorite aspect of our session is how attuned Chad is to one’s personal needs, extremely intuitive. He has a special way of knowing exactly what your body needs. And his use of different techniques! Ah May Zing. Such a delight receiving from Chad! Highly recommend booking a session! I know I’ll be back! ✨

Chad is a really talented masseuse with amazing skills. His studio is quiet, peaceful, clean, and comfortable. I usually prefer female massage therapists, but Chad made me feel at ease and the treatment was amazing. I felt like I had just got off a spaceship. I highly recommend.

Chad was very responsive which made booking an appointment easy. He creates a warm & welcoming environment, and I felt that immediately when entering the studio. You can tell he cares about personalizing the experience to your needs because he asks questions and is thoughtful with his feedback and methods. Will absolutely be back, thanks Chad!

Chad is professional, friendly, and a skilled body worker. He has an eclectic and intuitive approach; I left the session feeling completely relaxed. Highly recommend!

I had the best experience seeing Chad! i felt very safe and the space is beautiful. i work in restaurants and im usually looking for someone really rough, but chad had the perfect balance. he is amazing and you need to go to him! it was so comfortable and he is also very kind :) i loved all the scents too. my body felt so much better and i even had a lot of mental clarity ❤️❤️❤️❤️ it was a big treat and i will definitely be seeing him periodically! there is a reason why he has 5 stars on google.

Chad is a gifted body worker. My periodic sessions have left me with a renewed feeling of wholeness. His technique is refreshingly eclectic. And clearly he has an intuitive approach unique to his experience and training. Chad has dedicated a lot of thought into creating a haven for his practice. Kudos to him.

Chad is a phenomenal massage therapist! Attentive, very knowledgeable and experienced in his field. He worked out tough tension spots in a way I didn’t even, know was possible! The atmosphere was perfect, and my body feels incredibly rejuvenated. I offer my highest recommendation. Thank you Chad 🙏

I had a great 60minute massage with Chad. His space is lovely and his work thorough and professional. I felt very well taken care of. I’ll definitely be referring him to any friends looking for body work, and returning again myself!

I’ve been to Chad a few times now, and couldn’t recommend him more. Unlike a lot of other places I’ve gone to, he starts by talking with you about what’s been bothering you and his approach to massage therapy (Notably, this doesn’t eat into the massage time at all, which I think speaks to his dedication to you having a great experience). The massage room is so calming and you can fall immediately into deep breathing. He’s somehow able to find and work on all the knots while still making it an extremely relaxing experience. I have an especially bad neck and low back (from stress, work, running, etc) and I leave with so much pain and stress relief. Chad is my new favorite massage therapist!

Chad is wonderful! Came in for my first session with a back that constantly hurt because of my long hours at a desk, and left feeling the best I have in months. Very peaceful atmosphere, and Chad obviously knows what he’s doing - he found the problem spots in my back and shoulders with no trouble and alleviated the pain I’ve been feeling. Highly recommend - I’ll be back soon!

Chad has many techniques that just made me melt as we got deeper into the massage. His gentle, intuitive touch relaxes me every time. This is the 3rd massage that I was able to receive from Chad. His sound healing and reiki added a cleansing layer while he physically worked some of my knots out. Highly recommend getting a session that you hydrate and rest up for ! Thanks Chad!

I was looking for real chiropractic massage on Google for my lower back pain and sciatica and I saw Chads reviews. All reviews was 5 stars and I said how all those reviews can be 5 stars, there was no 4 🙂, I had doubts about reviews. I decided to get appointment when I went there I was walking with difficulty. He did one hour massage with his all experience. I can say he is one of the best people who knows what he do.I guess everyone should go him to get a real massage once in their life.

Chad is an incredibly talented myofascial worker. I walked into a serene environment smelling of fresh lavender, and I knew in the first few minutes as he checked on my back and shoulders that he had found the challenged areas with the insight only decades of bodywork can give. In particular, a few passes on one of my worst areas resulted in impressive releases. I left feeling blissed, relaxed, and perfectly cared for.Thank you Chad!

The best massage I have ever gotten in my life!! Chad helped relieve my upper back pain that I’ve been feeling for so long and my neck literally felt longer afterwards. Highly recommend!

Chad knows what he’s doing! Had an amazing 60min massage to solve a pulled muscle + cumulative tension in my upper back and he did an amazing job targeting the issues, wonderful session start to finish. He is highly versed in different bodywork techniques, and really nice and helpful. Left feeling very renewed. Definitely give him a try!

I have known Chad for many years andI have seen his work evolve over the years. I must say that he offers a very rare and personal mix of technics. He is very experienced and always very discreet about his amazing life journey which I believe gives a special twist to his practice. You will love his set-up decorated in an amazingly feng-shui way. I highly recommend Chad. Safe, clean, respectful, never awkward or intrusive.

TLDR; Great experience from booking to appointment end. Chad is an immaculate professional, and clearly passionate about his calling. Cant recommend highly enough!Review:Ive been having some trouble with my lower back lately, and I woke up one day with an unusual amount of pain. I decided to book a massage and googled therapists close to where I live in Bushwick/Ridgewood. Shivaloka came up as an option. Im queer and the business is labeled as queer friendly, so I chose to message Chad and set up an appointment. He luckily had an opening same day, so I asked for a 60 minute massage. The booking process was very simple and streamlined through google.When I arrived, I was immediately impressed by the effort Chad has invested into creating a peaceful space for clients. It is a small home studio, with beautiful wood trim, pleasant aromatherapy, and gorgeous artwork adorning the walls. Chad was attentive while listening to my concerns and offered helpful feedback regarding aftercare post massage. The massage itself was intense, but exactly what I asked for and not unexpected considering the state my lower back was in. After the massage, payment was simple and easy. I left with a few business cards, which I will post in photos.Cant recommend highly enough. My back feels 1000x better and I left with a sense of calm optimism, ready to face whatever the next few weeks have in store for me.Im very grateful to have such an accomplished practicioner in my neighborhood! Very highly recommended. 👍🏻👍🏻

The deep tissue massage left me feeling revitalized, relaxed, light, and one with my body. Chad did an amazing job relieving tension especially in my neck and upper back as well as remedying shoulder pains that I have been dealing with. 10/10 would recommend.

Chad is a singularly gifted healer. Completely professional yet down to earth, you will feel and be safe and secure with him, and your mind and body will be set right in the process. Ive had lots of body work, and Chad remains among the best ever.

I have never felt this whole body relieve and the deep relaxation state of mind and body on the massage table. I am a massage therapist as well and so I’ve been learning and receiving different types of massages but with Chad was very special. I recommend you to try! Thank you Chad, see you again :)

Chad is a miracle worker! I went in last week because I have bad sciatic flare ups and he knew exactly what to do to get rid of the pain. I feel so much better now and I will definitely be coming back regularly! Highly highly recommend.

I see I’m not the only one who has said this, but this was the best massage I have ever had in my entire life and that’s exactly what I said to Chad as soon as I walked out of the room. I’ve also had A LOT of massages in my life so this is saying something. I had originally booked an hour, but 10 minutes in I decided it would be 110% worth it to extend to an hour and a half and I’m grateful he was willing to do that. I got the massage on a Friday evening before New Year’s Eve and I swear that is what saved me and kept me dancing for 14 hours straight at the resolute party. Not mention hitting two parties that very Friday night. If it wasn’t for this massage I would never have been able to make it with the energy I had. I felt extremely safe and comfortable and felt 0 strange or creepy vibes so ladies I can assure that you can trust Chad to help keep you dancing too!

Chad gave me a fantastic massage, he is clearly very knowledable with all kinds of healing methods. I was unable to turn my head when I walked in and left with full mobility. As well, I left his space feeling incredibly released emotionally, as if he reached into me and lifted the stress right out of me both physically and spiritually.

I went into Chad’s office with severe neck and shoulder pain, and I left feeling great relief. He took the process of resolving my issue seriously even though it meant he had to go above our scheduled time. This man truly takes therapy seriously and it shows in his craft.

Great therapist who knows many disciplines, calm energy and great space

Great and thorough mixed massage styles. very welcoming atmosphere, attention to detail and conscientious.felt lighter and more aligned after only 1 session.highly recommended and referring everyone and anyone!

I was visiting New York for a short time and managed to see Chad 3 times for Body work. It was absolutely fantastic!! He really worked out some long term issues I had. Could not recommend higher.

By far the best massage I’ve ever received . Chad is very professional. I’m so glad I found this studio it is very clean and relaxing. I highly recommend anyone to stop by for a massage.

Amazing experience! One of the best massages I’ve ever had. A truly delightful blend of techniques that left me feeling completely relaxed. I especially loved the sound bowls!

Easily, the best bodywork I’ve ever received. Chad’s attentiveness and awareness made for a truly healing session. I will definitely be returning.

What a great find! Beautiful studio, wonderful massage, very professional, chill and clean environment. I highly recommend a session with Chad. I’ll be back!

Great environment, chad is great at what he does I would recommend him 100% thanks so much Chad see you soon

I actually couldnt rate a 1 nor 5 stars but give 3 because the female on the phone was courtesy. The place was hard to locate.Ive tried finding the place a called and told them I was here but could not find the business. It may be a great artist its too bad I couldnt find them.

I met Chad at a Kula Yoga retreat and transcendent best describes my experience (and I have had a lot of experience!)

Great massage, really helped me reconnect with my body after an exhausting week. Kind, relaxed atmosphere. Cannot recommend enough!

So glad to find this excellent massage studio right near our Airbnb. Wonderful massage, great guy. Wish he was in Geneva!

A rare combination of experience, modality range, ability and intuition coupled with great communication, patience and kindness. Thank you Chad!

I recently moved back to NYC and was in serious need of a nervous system reset. Came in feeling burnt out, headachy, fatigued. Left feeling totally relaxed, uplifted, and with a new calm skip in my step! Chad’s years of experience show in his work: professional setting, warm energy, strong intuitive healing hands. Will definitely be back! This practice is a gem in the neighborhood and I’m grateful to have found it!
