“A massage session should fit the person on the table—not force every person into the same routine.”
Andy listens first, then adapts pressure, technique, and focus areas to match your comfort level and goals.

Personal attention.
I’m Andy Sandvig, a licensed massage therapist serving the Des Moines area. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped clients reduce stress, relieve muscular tension, and support recovery through professional, personalized massage therapy.
My approach starts with listening. Every session is tailored to your goals, whether you’re looking to unwind, work through areas of tension, improve comfort and mobility, or make massage part of your ongoing wellness routine.
Thousands of hours of hands-on experience have taught me that good massage is both technical and personal. My goal is simple: create a comfortable, professional environment where you can relax and leave feeling better than when you arrived.

Hot Stone Massage
Heated, smooth stones are used as an extension of the therapist’s hands. The warmth can help muscles relax more deeply while creating a calming, centered experience.
