I work in a climate controlled environment on a heated table. Using a personalized combination of relaxing massage techniques, you’ll receive a full body, head to ankle massage (feet included upon request).
I’ve been trained in Swedish massage, and have some experience in Reiki and Bhakti. I like to combine all of these techniques into a relaxing massage with a targeted focus on trouble areas, and to give the recipient a full body calming experience.

James was very attuned to my body during the entirety of the massage. He knew when to use pressure, and when to lighten up, and I’ve honestly never experienced that with a masseur before. An old work injury actually felt relieved for the first time in 5 years after that massage, and I attribute that to James. He’s definitely gained a lifetime client!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Transformational Stress Relief!
I cannot recommend James’ massage therapy enough. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the calming energy he brings to the space — it’s as if the stress you’ve been carrying starts to melt away before the session even begins.
James has an extraordinary ability to pinpoint areas of tension you didn’t even realize were causing you discomfort. His technique blends deep therapeutic skill with an intuitive understanding of how the body responds to stress. Every movement feels purposeful — no rushed or “cookie-cutter” massage here. By the end, I felt lighter, more grounded, and surprisingly energized.
What truly sets James apart is the way he creates a safe, restorative environment. He listens, adapts the pressure and style to your needs, and genuinely cares about your well-being beyond just the hour you’re on the table.
If you’ve been feeling weighed down by stress, anxiety, or just the daily grind, a session with James isn’t just a luxury — it’s a necessary reset for your mind and body. I left feeling not only relaxed, but also rebalanced in a way I didn’t think was possible from a single session.
Five stars without hesitation — James is the gold standard for stress relief massage!

My first visit has turned into a lifelong client! James took some time at the start to get to know my needs and what I wanted to achieve in our hour together. The massage was slow, intentional, and very relaxing. I had some tight muscles in my neck and back from computer work, and James nearly eliminated them in one visit! The room was comfortable, the music was enjoyable, and the massage was excellent! Do yourself a favor and book a massage with James!

I have been coming to James every month for over a year because he gives a very attentive massage! He asks questions before each session to determine targeted needs, and customizes every massage to maximize results. I had a shoulder injury from 10 years ago, and after consistent work, he’s managed to almost eliminate all pain. He’s got a client for life!
