Approach To Massage
Luca's work is grounded in advanced training completed in both Europe and the United States, including certifications from the Italian Academy of Massage and Holistic Disciplines (AIM) in Milan and the Praxis Institute of Miami. His clinical training includes manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), deep tissue techniques, myofascial release and neuromuscular therapy.
​
We offer a single format: a 90-minute session. This extended treatment allows the time necessary to work methodically, address multiple areas, and create results that last.
​
Each appointment is shaped around you — whether supporting recovery from injury, improving mobility, managing chronic tension or providing a restorative wellbeing treatment.
Training & Background
Born and raised in Italy, Luca developed an early connection to movement and hands-on work through sport. Before focusing exclusively on massage therapy, he spent nearly a decade as an ocean rescue lifeguard, followed by work as a swimming instructor and fitness trainer specializing in strength and functional movement.
​
He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Sport and Health Exercise Science from the University of Genoa, with a specialization in Preventive and Adapted Motor Activity. This academic foundation continues to inform his therapeutic approach, particularly when working with athletes, older adults, and clients navigating physical limitations.
​
Today, his practice bridges performance, rehabilitation, and everyday wellbeing — serving both active individuals and clients simply seeking skilled, professional bodywork.
Professional Experience
Luca has collaborated with clinics, retreat centers, private wellness programs, and select hospitality destinations internationally. His work has supported clients who value discretion, expertise, and consistency of care.
He served as a Visiting Master Therapist at Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resorts Collection in Costa Rica, providing advanced therapeutic bodywork within a high-standard wellness environment.
His current practice is dedicated exclusively to private mobile massage services in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, and nearby communities, offering a refined alternative to high-volume clinics and spa settings.
