About me
Feeling Stuck in Pain?
I'm here to help! At Kilted Paws Massage, I offer clinical SMRT (Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique) sessions that can help your body recover, relax, and heal.
Say Goodbye to Pain
SMRT is a game-changing technique that's been shown to effectively alleviate low back pain, foot and leg pain, hand and wrist pain, headaches, and more. It's also super helpful for addressing muscle spasms, nerve impingement, and migraine headaches.
Benefits of SMRT:
- Relieves low back pain, foot/leg pain, hand/wrist pain, headaches, and more
- Addresses muscle spasms, nerve impingement, and migraine headaches
- Supports overall wellness and balance
A Safe Space for All
My practice is built on body positivity, inclusivity, and compassion. I welcome clients of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. My body-positive and LGBTQIA+-friendly space ensures comfort and safety for all. My massage table supports up to 1500 lbs, accommodating clients of all sizes.
I have options for locations to help serve my clients better. I have my basement studio in Aurora (Aurora location is not ADA accessible). I do also offer limited mobile massage where I do an Out-Call* and come to you for my ADA clients. (*Out-call fee applies.)

“Ben is first of all one of the most educated and intuitive people I’ve ever met in my life. He cares deeply about others and being that healing human to them physically and spiritually. He absolutely has the best touch I’ve ever experienced in all the massages I’ve had which is a lot. He really helped me with a focus of Cranial Sacral work on a head trauma I had endured. I can’t even explain how wonderful he is. Please don’t wait to get on his table! ”
