I don't remember the setup and the strokes used. However, the moment I laid on the massage bed, the moment he explained and the moment started, all familiarity came back. The warm bed, the caring and detailed explanation and the warm hands and firm pressure were the things I like during the 1st visit. There is new variation to Gavin's strokes as well. Again, not a time watcher. He ensured the completion to his routine, even though it had past the 1.5 hr Mark. Thank you Gavin! Thanks so much @Justmelah for your repeat visit and prompt review. It's always heartwarming to see the return of a familiar face. I hope I'll get to see more of you in the future.

Besides the consistency, I think the familiarity makes him constantly calibrate the pressure and attention to problematic areas. He is always very attentive and never rushes (in fact he always goes over the 90 mins mark). He incorporates some elements of sports massage into the routine for me. Definitely my go-to, despite it being quite far from my home but well worth the trip. Very professional, price point is good, and massage skills are on-point for me. Big thanks once again @nerdchats for your follow-up visits and consistently good reviews. I'll see you soon for the next session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kei-san Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) I just visited Gavin for the very first time and he is a very approachable person. He is very conversable and would like to share his thoughts about how his regulars would return back to patronise his massage, experimenting with different techniques, focusing on finishing the massage rather than rushing through the whole session. I always like to try different variations of massage given by different types of masseurs/therapist. Usually, I am not the type of person who goes into a snoozing/dozing off state during the massage. However, this happened when he was giving the massage and I really would put a first thumbsup on this. Secondly, the usage on his selection of essential oils also made me gave my second thumbsup. The cold-pressed oils didnt give much of a sticky sensation afterwards compared to other types of mineral oils used, which is really surprising to me. Tried his scrub before the massage, it is also really a must-try. Price paid for the whole massage experience is really a third thumbsup for me. Definitely worth returning back to him. Thanks Gavin for the massage for the first-time experience and I will see you really soon. Edited October 13, 2023 by Kei-san agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealBrewed Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I had a very last minute booking request to Gavin at around 6:45 pm today, given that I was close by. To my pleasant surprise, he promptly secured a slot for me at 7:30 pm, assuring me that he'd need a little time to prepare. Navigating to his place was seamless. He provided clear, detailed instructions and went the extra mile (literally) by picking me up near the bus stop. During our short journey to his unit, Gavin thoughtfully explained his massage techniques and inquired if there were specific areas I wanted to focus on. His residence deserves a special mention. The cleanliness, especially of the toilet, was unparalleled. I've seldom seen such very clean living spaces. Before commencing the massage, Gavin offered a choice of oils. He suggested a blend of lavender and eucalyptus which was calming and aromatic. Throughout the session, he frequently checked in on the pressure applied, ensuring my comfort. The massage itself was excellent, with Gavin incorporating unique techniques. Highlights for me included the leg, lower back, shoulder, neck, and head massages which genuinely alleviated the tension I'd been feeling. Considering Gavin's proximity to my place in the east, I'm keen to establish a regular schedule with him. Here are my takeaways: Gavin is amiable and easy to converse with. The session was both therapeutic and educational. Exceptionally clean premises. He accommodates last-minute bookings. The quality of the oils used is noticeably superior. I'm looking forward to my next session! agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddle_up Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Managed to secure a slot last sat around 5pm, after my rowing, and needed a good massage. Gavin gave a good and detailed scrub throughout my body, which is refreshing and rejuvenating. Prior to the massage, he will always ask for areas to concentrate on during massage and he will apply appropriate strength which he double check constantly. Keep up the good work and effort. My bod needs that again. agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg_JHU Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 visited Gavin for the 2nd time on Sunday afternoon. he gave proper instructions and guide to his place. follow his instructions and you will not need to wait long for him as he will be on time to fetch you to his place. upon reaching his place, he had a casual chat to check on the areas that he need to focus/ avoid before asking on the scent of the essential oil that you would want to use during the massage. chose the peppermint essential oil and i must say it is an unique experience especially on the privates cos it is very "cooling" . he gave a good rub on the back and incorporated some sports massage techniques as well during the session. the session was supposed to be only 1.5hours long but it overran by half an hour and ended at the 2hr mark. despite ending beyond 1.5hr, he did not rush me to clean up (even though i was encouraged not to shower) after that. thank you Gavin for the good session. agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeitherHereNorThere Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Already 9 pages in this thread.. not sure what more I can add to the good stuff many satisfied customers have already said. Nonetheless, I revisited Gavin again when I was in his area, and lucky that he had time for me. Sorry to make you change from swimwear back to "working" clothings 😝 Experience this time round was.. different. We chatted more, felt like friends more than client-masseur. His style also changed thoughout the years, getting more experienced, and incorporating what he learnt into practice. The whole session was... Pampering, which is what I needed. Appropriate attention was given to my problem areas (shoulder, lower back), and he gave a good head massage too. A genuine masseur out to help tired stressed people like myself deserves a compliment! Stay true to what you do, you cannot please everyone, nor glue up mouths of naysayers. Build on your customer base with your skills! agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

explorer82 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I really appreciate how Gavin would take the effort to explain the massage process and offer quality cold-pressed oils that facilitate absorption. He was very meticulous and allowed me to smell the oils before I made my selection. I generally prefer harder massage, but his massage incorporated sports massage techniques and he accurately targeted the pressure points that were just as effective in relieving the tension. He had pride in his work and was genuine in enhancing the wellness of his clients - evident from how he would constantly check on the client, and having a proper set-up and sturdy massage bed. Kudos to Gavin for a pampering massage session. Please keep up the good work! agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry30 Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Finally tried Gavin after reading so many reviews. He was really detailed when it comes to first timer like me, giving the directions and having a pre massage chat to understand my needs and expectations. Massage wise was great, it was relaxing and targeted at the different parts of the body. He would check in if it was ok. Overall a satisfying and relaxing experience. agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalaoof Posted February 4, 2024 Report Share Posted February 4, 2024 Hey All, I tried Gavin's Massage yesterday after reading all the reviews & here's mine! Gavin picked me up from the bus stop brought to his apartment. I would say his apartment looks really good & well maintained. Prior to the massage(in whatsapp), he did ask me for my preference on essential oil so i selected lavendar. He also had a short chat with me on my expectations of the massage and aread to focus at the start. His Cold pressed oil was very soothing & didnt feel very oily so it was great for me! Not only the essential oil was lavendar, he also setup the room with lavendar diffuser which kept me calm and relaxed throughout the whole massage😊 His Massage Techniques were good and steady. I loved the strokes that he used on my body which made me feel relaxed and worked on my tensed shoulder muscles. And it was very thoughtful of him to keep checking on me if everything was ok & the pressure was ok as well! Overall, I would recommend you guys to try out his massage to feel the real experience! Thanks Gavin! Cheers! agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had try on the body scrub on the 2nd visit and it was a different experience as well. While most of thge masseurs i previously went to would actually do the scrub on the same massage bed but not many would do it in the bathroom.

KingCapr Posted February 22, 2024 Report Share Posted February 22, 2024 It’s been a long while I write something here~ I decided to have my frank comments after visited Gavin last week. Gavin is not new to me, I have visited him since years ago when he was newly started his massage service. Being a new masseur many years ago he was doing ok for his massage but definitely alot to improve back then. I was not the frequent customer to him, I only visited him like once a year due to my busy schedule. However, he has been improving along the way and made him now almost a perfect massuer (at least to me). I am at the bigger size body but he could handle it so well, he is able to untie the muscle knots and I felt so light and refresh after the massage. On a proper massage bed, with a nice comfortable head/face rest, repeated checks on his massage pressure, on the points massage stroke, could be sensual at times, very professional and he really knows what he is doing. For my last experience with Gavin, my ratings: massage - 9/10 environment - 8/10 personality - 9/10 Worth of $$ - 10/10 if you like a relaxing to medium strength massage, please give him a try. (He mentioned he could not handle client >90kg, he is afraid that not able to give enough strength to handle the body, case to case basis, you may PM him for details) agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agog Posted February 28, 2024 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2024 Human touch is about chemistry. It ignites the release of oxytocin - often referred to as the love hormone - that promotes good mental and physical health. And that's what I do in my practice: I touch. I play with chemistry.

agog Posted March 18, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2024 Connecting with your body is a great way to improve your physical, mental and overall health and well-being. Make it a practice to show your body some love. Set aside time for a healing massage. Aromatherapy massage is the synergistic pairing of essential oils with massage therapy to help restore the body-mind balance. Essential oils are natural essences from plants that not only smell amazing, but have a calming effect on the nervous system. And with the mercury level expecting to hit a high of 35 degrees and above on most days in the rest of March, try a cooling body scrub and shower that buffs and exfoliates your skin to leave it feeling smooth and refreshed.

BedokChnBoi Posted March 25, 2024 Report Share Posted March 25, 2024 I'm not one who usually writes a review but Gavin deserves a shout-out. Before the meet up, Gavin took effort to research and direct me to his location so that I don't get lost. When we met, he was welcoming and explained that the essential oil he uses is of top quality, wouldn't leave an oily and sticky after-feeling, and is suitable for those with eczema like me. During the session, he was mindful of the pressure and made sure to check that I was comfortable at every interval. As testified by other clients, the room and massage bed is well sanitized and smells good. Despite the time overran, the session wasn't rushed and Gavin ensured that the very tight knots on my shoulder and neck areas were loosened. Overall, Gavin is very professional, attentive and hygienic. Highly recommended! specsboi, Justmelah and agog 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QII Posted April 1, 2024 Report Share Posted April 1, 2024 While the heaps of outstanding reviews speak for themselves, this is a real treat, Gavin provides a massage session that is a cut above the rest and at no time do you feel rushed or hurried. Let him mindfully kneed you into a blissful stupor, leaving you feeling pampered and glowing with his cold pressed oils ' thanks for the lesson on oils ;). Gavin is one of the most experienced masseurs around and it really show that he knows his stuff when you're feeling his confident and soothing techniques. See you at the next session Gavin! agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjux Posted April 12, 2024 Report Share Posted April 12, 2024 A first time visit to Gavin and providing an exception review. An easy and nice person that offered some explanation and glad was not overly done. Skill and strength was firm/hard but not painful. Can tell his massage strokes were working alongside the muscles. agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMMMM Posted May 4, 2024 Report Share Posted May 4, 2024 Don't usually leave reviews, but decided to finally sign up and leave a review for Gavin. Not really a fan of body massage, but my back and shoulders are aching due to sitting posture at work. Saw lots of good review of Gavin and decided to try it out. Gavin's place is very clean and comfortable, and Gavin himself is very polite and accommodating, going through what is going to happen in the session, the techniques he will use. Then he asked if there's any areas that require more focus, which he did during the session. Throughout the session, he will keep on check in with me to make sure I am comfortable, ensuring the strength he applies is not too strong. He also gives me lots of alone time to enjoy the session instead of chatting throughout the session. I will definitely engage his service again! agog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agog Posted May 26, 2024 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2024 (edited) Escape the ordinary and indulge in some self-love. Devote time to an aroma-infused massage where the healing fragrance of essential oils takes centrestage. Take your pick from perennial favourites like lavender and lemongrass to other citrusy/herbaceous/minty/earthy scents like bergamot, may chang, citronella, geranium, ylang ylang, eucalyptus, peppermint and ginger. But if you do not fancy scented oils, only odourless cold pressed massage oil will be used.

agog Posted May 29, 2024 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2024 I occasionally receive enquiries regarding my "body scrub and shower" service. Below are some of the more common ones, together with my answers. Q: Can I book only the body scrub and shower on its own? What is the duration and rate? A: Yes, you can. It costs $30 per 20-min session (as opposed to $20 if it's booked together with a massage). Q: Is it done on the massage table or in the showers? A: For expedience and comfort, it will be conducted in the showers - or more precisely in the bathtub. Q: What products do you use? A: Clients have a choice of either 1) luscious apricot scrub with walnut shell powder; 2) velvety rice milk with crushed macadamia scrub: or 3) soothing coconut milk with crushed lavender scrub. Q: Is this done before or after the massage? A: Ideally it should be enjoyed pre-massage. Q: Do you do body scrubs at night? A: The last slot for body scrub is 7.30pm. Q: Is there NSF/student concession rate for body scrub? A: No. Q: Er, is it sensual? A: Erm, most clients think so.

agog Posted June 25, 2024 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2024 Getting a massage is a great way to tune out the world, distance yourself from the daily demands, and allow your mind to switch off, de-focus and unwind while the body gets pampered. Aromatherapy massage, using pure botanical essential oils, offers one of the best forms of stress management. It relaxes muscles and increases circulation, resulting in a reduction of stress-related aches and pains. By bringing your body close to its optimal balance, you regain your energy, experience an emotional release and enjoy immediate relaxation.

iffy Posted June 30, 2024 Report Share Posted June 30, 2024 (edited) I spontaneously decided to book a last-minute appointment for a full body massage with Gavin, and I was pleasantly surprised by his willingness to accommodate my request. Upon arriving at his impeccably clean and serene space, I immediately felt at ease. Prior to starting the session, Gavin took the time to explain the various types of massages available, highlighting their unique benefits, and generously allowed me to select the essential oil that he will be using to enhance my relaxation during the session. The entire experience was truly exceptional and incredibly soothing. I left feeling rejuvenated and deeply relaxed, already looking forward to booking another session with Gavin in the future.
