Metta Morpho Massage (Kate Goldswer, LMT & Gabriel Hoff, LMT)

Gab Hoff is a terrific massage therapist. Each session is tailored to the needs of the client. He chooses from multiple modalities depending on my needs and goals for each session. Once I started seeing Gab, I wouldn't consider going to any other massage therapist. I have not worked with Kate, but I have heard wonderful things about her. The massage room is a welcoming space, very comfortable, inviting serenity. Metta Morpho Massage always exceeds my expectations. I recommend it highly.

Gabriel is an intuitive therapist and a wonderful listener. He enters the calming and beautiful massage space that he and Kate have created equipped with a wide array of massage and body work modalities at his command. His expansive tool box allows him to address each client where they are at, with the work their body is ready to take in. Being on Gab's table is truly a healing and nurturing experience.

I was visiting Ithaca and booked a massage with Gabriel as the location was very convenient (right in downtown) to my accommodations. From the moment I arrived, Gabriel sat me down and really wanted to know my problem/tension areas and what I hoped to get out of the massage. The massage itself was just incredible. I went in with a headache that I had been dealing with for 3 days, and left without one. Everything we had discussed as a problem area he focused on and I was truly amazed. He has a true gift. Do yourself a favor and get a massage with him!!

It is such a treat to receive a Shiatsu session with Gab! His session space is super inviting and calming. Each Shiatsu session I received from Gab was tailored to my needs that day. My body and soul felt so restored and recharged by the end of the session. Plus, Gab was really helpful in offering exercises/strategies to help me minimize the pain in my body. I love getting to see Gab for a session!

Gabriel is very professional, knowledgeable, experienced and attentive. Each treatment is tailored specifically to the client's needs. The office space is very welcoming, quiet and peaceful. Due to back issue, I have been a client of Gabriel for several years and I have recommended and referred many of my friends and colleagues to his office. Always a great and relaxing experience!

Gab is fantastic. Highly recommend his acupressure medical massages. I came to Gab after neck sprain and within the day after his massage had more neck mobility and a speedy recovery. He's very knowledgable and informed. As a student affording expensive medical treatments is challenging but Gab takes the student health plan making his treatments much more affordable with a co-pay. I highly recommend incorporating Gab's work into your regular self-care and wellness especially as a student. Thanks Gab!

I have been working with Kate for a couple of years. If you're looking for a massage therapist that is highly skilled and knowledgeable, look no further. Most therapists will focus on specific issues upon request, but with Kate I know I'm getting the experience and expertise to feel results. I also appreciate that she is very communicative and professional regarding scheduling, and her massage room is comfortable on all levels. I'm confident you will not regret choosing Kate for your next massage.

I have had sessions with Gab for an extended period, and also, most recently, with Kate. They are both absolutely fantastic. They are very different in demeanor and style, and I won't write a thesis on either's style, but what they both have in common is (a) very attentive and deep listening and caring about what you need and want and (b) how you feel when you are done... which is very quiet and relaxed and peaceful. I'd strongly recommend both of them!
