About Nathaniel

I'm Nathaniel Ratcliff — a Licensed Massage Therapist working under the name Hands by Hans. I came to bodywork the same way most therapists I respect did: I needed it first, then I fell in love with giving it.

My approach is simple. I listen carefully at the start of every session, build the work around what your body actually needs that day, and check in often enough that you never have to white-knuckle through pressure that isn't right for you. The goal isn't a fixed routine — it's the best hour your nervous system has had all week.

I work with active folks recovering from training, office workers carrying weeks of tension in their neck and shoulders, and anyone who simply wants to feel more like themselves.

If you're new, the easiest thing is to book a 60-minute session and we'll go from there.
