Aloha, my name is James.
I Graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a bachelors in Nutritional Sciences. After graduating I started working in public education but after a few years I decided to focus my energy in the health and wellness industry. I have over a thousand hours of massage education alone from the Career Networks Institute CA and Cortiva Institute NJ. For over a decade I have been working in spas and clinics as a licensed massage therapist. My therapeutic body work mostly consists of orthopedic massage, structural integration, traditional, PNF, lymphatic drainage, cellulite reduction therapy, and relaxation modalities. My body work is deep and intentional. I have and always will be committed to helping improve the quality of life for myself and others.

Growing up I was the designated child to rub the shoulders of adults and treat their ailments. In my adult life, after taking a Thai massage course, I decided to pursue it as a career.

I specialize in therapeutic, medical grade massage with an influence of structural integration.

I have found this style of massage is consistent with the most recent science in manual therapies as well as most immediate results of relief.

Don't feel that I am anymore talented than the average therapist, however, my education and breath of knowledge of this subject is uncommon.

Breathe! Often we fail to use our vital capacity and position our bodies in ways that compromise our ability to exchange necessities in our environment.

Surf, trail run, and listen to podcasts.

It's okay to be nervous. Communicating any pain or discomfort is most important. If you feel any restrictions and areas of tension, remember to breathe deeply.
