Overview

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 Reiki massage, and have some experience in Breema 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.

This is a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community. Most of my experience is... on gay, trans and straight men of all body types. My goal is to provide you with a relaxing and calming moment to take care of your own well being.

My communication preference is text. Please reach out any time with questions or to book an appointment. I also offer a tandem massage option (two therapists working on you at once) if you’re interested. Please mention that before booking so I can coordinate with another masseur.

Testimonials

Gathered by James from admiring massage clients to share with you.

June 09, 2025 in Salem, MA (in-studio)

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!
