Two decades of military service shaped how I work: arrive on time, do the job thoroughly, and explain exactly what I found.

Time Well Spent Massage is a single-therapist practice on Vasco Street. Clients travel from Punta Gorda, Burnt Store Marina, Port Charlotte, and communities further down the coast, often because discomfort has become something they have simply learned to live with.
“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution.”– Aristotle
New to Massage?
If this is your first massage, knowing what to expect can help you feel more comfortable and at ease. At Time Well Spent, your comfort is the priority – when you feel relaxed and secure, you are better able to fully receive the benefits of the work.
You’ll be offered an opportunity to use the restroom, and we will typically go directly into the studio without a wait. We’ll begin with a conversation about your concerns, goals, and any questions you may have, and I’ll briefly explain what to expect during your session.
Together, we’ll review your intake form, confirm the areas you would like to focus on, and go over your preferences and permission for areas such as the head, collar area, glutes, and feet.
You may undress only to your personal level of comfort. Some clients remain fully dressed, while others prefer to wear underwear or fully undress. Professional draping is used with every client, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered. The torso remains covered throughout the session.
You are encouraged to communicate throughout your session about pressure, positioning, comfort, or anything else you would like adjusted. You may also pause or stop the massage at any time.
Come hydrated, relax, and look forward to leaving your session feeling refreshed and restored.

Massage therapy centered around you
I’m a retired Marine who served more than 20 years on active duty, much of it overseas and near San Diego, before retiring in Seattle. Since retiring in 2012, I’ve lived mainly in the Virgin Islands and Florida, always staying close to the ocean.
After more than a decade in sales, I discovered massage therapy and found it to be the most rewarding skill I have learned. It allows me to serve others in a meaningful and direct way.
In my spare time, I enjoy my guitar collection, chasing tone, and making music in my dream home studio. My wife and I also enjoy family, SCUBA, Dragon Boat racing, the beach, movies, and great food.
I look forward to welcoming you to the studio, and I thank you in advance for your patience if an appointment is not immediately available.
What clients say
Craig at Time Well Spent is a wonderful massage therapist. Not only is he extremely professional but he also takes the time to understand what my body needs at each appointment and ensures that he focuses on those areas.
His massages are never "cookie cutter" like I have experienced in other places. I have been with him for about a year and a half now and have no plans on going to anyone else!!
I've been seeing Craig now for a year and keep coming back. He is amazing. Very professional.
He takes his time to listen to what is bothering you and pays attention to your body's response to pressure. I will definitely continue to recommend him to people!
I highly recommend Craig as a massage therapist. He is caring and listens to find out how he can best help his client, working on body parts where you have pain or need some work.
I leave his office feeling good after getting a top notch massage. He's fabulous, best massages I've ever had!!
Craig was very professional and genuinely seemed to want the experience to be what was necessary to provide relief. He specifically asked which areas needed extra attention.
The massage room was warm and relaxing. I will definitely be returning.
Best massage ever! Craig is very passionate and professional.
I always feel 100% better after I leave. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Craig is amazing. He located the source of my pain within mins of being hands on.
Such a soothing soul.
Your answers to popular questions
Sessions are available in 60-minute and 90-minute lengths. Sixty minutes is sufficient to treat one region thoroughly, such as the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Ninety minutes covers the full body, with additional time devoted to the areas that need it most.
Not at all. Most clients describe the problem rather than the modality, and the session is built from there. If you arrive with a shoulder that will not rotate, the treatment will draw on whichever techniques best suit that shoulder.
Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes at an even, moderate pressure to improve circulation and calm the nervous system. Deep tissue massage applies slower, more targeted pressure to the deeper muscle layers, releasing long-standing tension and treating chronic pain.
Deep tissue work should feel like productive pressure you can breathe through, not pain you need to brace against. Pressure is agreed with you at the start and adjusted throughout the session. Mild tenderness for a day afterward is normal.
Pricing is determined by session length, either 60 or 90 minutes, and every technique the treatment calls for is included at no additional cost. New clients receive 10% off their first massage.
