"Touching hands are not like pharmaceuticals or scalpels. They are like flashlights in a darkened room. The medicine they administer is self-awareness, and awareness is the only medicine that accomplishes its healing without disrupting the natural function of the organism." - Deane Juhan

About the therapist:


William is an E-RYT with thousands of teaching hours logged over 10+ years in the Triangle. Upon graduating from the Body Therapy Institute in 2015, he went on to study Myofascial Release and Unwinding with John F. Barnes. In treatment, the therapist tends to employ a therapeutic blend of Myofascial Release, Thai bodywork, and Craniosacral therapy. 
 
Fernanda, the founder of Apex Retreat, attended one of William's yoga classes many years ago and brought him on board to establish his own massage practice along with the rest of the team. Since that fateful day, the two have become evermore aligned and entwined in the journey toward healing, teaching each other and countless others along the way via Apex Retreat Seminars and the Healing Arts and Massage school.

From the outset of his journey, he has held a curious obsession for classical yoga that led to a deep dive into hot yoga for many years. Although sun salutations and Sanskrit hold a special place in his heart, curiosity led us to the frontiers of Yin yoga as it pertains to the myofascial system. Having led courses in Anatomy, Sanskrit, and Yin for various yoga teacher training programs in Raleigh, William now strives to leads yoga for free at Apex Retreat. In practice on the mat or in treatment, the hope is to maintain a sacred space that fosters curiosity, authentic expression, and radical self acceptance.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Megan on Sep 03
William always does a phenomenal massage and is able to pivot and change it up based on what my needs are! He is incredibly kind and caring and always makes time to learn exactly what my body needs before we begin. I feel relaxed and calm at every appointment and truly enjoy each session!

William is amazing! I love getting my massages with him, he’s exceptionally attentive, and really has a feel for what my body needs in regards to the massage. Such as pressure and areas of focus. He’s been a pleasure to work with!
