During this 18 hour course normally limited to physical therapists, I learned to help clients identify running related injuries, how do self-treat them, and develop programming to help facilitate an injury-free return to running.

Thai Massage Certification

This is a comprehensive 108-hour course at The Bodhi Sangha School of Thai Massage in Gainesville, Florida. The certification emphasizes not only the very unique sequences of manual techniques associated with the healing art of Thai massage, but also the act of practicing Metta, or lovingkindness will giving to a client.

Anchored the undefeated Belen Jesuit Preparatory School 4x800m relay team to a first place finish at the 2007 FHSAA State Championships. Was also a key member in both the 2006 State Champion Cross Country team (3rd man) and the 2007 State Champion Track team (4x800m, 800m, 4x400m).

As a personal trainer, I created and implemented workout programs for individuals and groups alike in Miami, Florida from 2013 - 2015. Several of my specialties included corrective and functional exercise, bootcamp-style sessions, and individual/group swim sessions.

For 6 years, I taught swim lessons to hundreds of individuals and groups alike with clients ranging from 2 years old to over 65. The intention of every session was different from learning to take first strokes, to competing in open-water races.

During this course, I trained and studied materials in order to develop exercise programs and incorporate progressions that address muscle imbalances, prevent injury, and improve movement patterns, muscular strength and endurance.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

overall the price was too expensive for the quality of the massage. i am well versed in massages and this one was more of a rub down then massage. ambiance was nice though and it’s obviously nice getting a massage in puerto rico while on vacation

Apolo uses his hands with intuition and precision. I was very receptive and completely comfortable and relaxed the entire massage. With Apolo's added creativity you can trust to receive all his attention and possibly the best massage you will ever have.. Massage therapy is his passion and his caring & empathetic attitude shines through brightly, all while holding a safe space for energy work. I feel restored, balanced and more connected to my internal and external body. Thank you Apolo, you are a unique gift to the world of healing and massage!

Javier is a gifted, compassionate healing artist. He has the ability to deeply listen with his hands and applying a very personal touch that was very therapeutic and healing. As a bodyworker my self I've received many massages and by far he stands out one of the tops. The office is located in a beautiful serene place, away from the noise with plenty of parking. Once I walked in he greeted me and went to the massage room. I loved the space and energy of the entire facility, very clean, fresh, welcoming and safe. His space is also very welcoming and peaceful. After telling him a whole story of how I was feeling at the moment he was very intuitive in selecting a music that made the session special. So a deep sense of intuition and really listening to my underling mood that was able for him to pick up and execute through his work and art. A true gift and a natural. My body, mind and soul felt rejuvenated, cleansed and touched with compassion after the session and also in a therapeutic level, my aches and pains vanished and increasing range of motion. I am very grateful to have received from an amazing therapist that is making a healing loving ripple for every person he touches.

I loved my massage from Javier! He was intuitive and present with his touch, checking in with me when he noticed if there needed to be any adjustments. He has a very comforting presence and I trusted his abilities. He addressed every part I asked him to and did not go over-time. I felt so relaxed and grateful for the time spent with him, it made the rest of my day even better. Best way to start my morning thats for sure.
by Sam on Oct 12
My session with Javi was wonderful and everything I could have asked for. He asked me about my well-being and what I wanted from the massage and how I wanted to feel after. I felt safe to tell him what was going on physically and emotionally. I had been feeling irritable for days before the massage, and after receiving his touch and presence I felt back to my normal state of happiness and peace. The physical massage was lovely as well, very thorough, excellent pressure, meeting my edge but not going past it, and addressing all areas of concern I had mentioned and then some. His oils/lotions he used on my skin smelled so good. He even had dark chocolate on his desk for after! Hands down one of the best massage experiences I’ve had. So grateful.

Javier has a very sensitive touch and is totally in tune with his patients' requests. All in all it was a wonderful experience!
by Sophie on Jul 04
Very targeted massage - the therapist took the time to talk and inquire about areas of particular discomfort, tension, or soreness, ultimately providing a very effective and productive massage.
by Mark on Jul 04
Really enjoyed the first in-house massage. Looking forward to a time maybe not so busy after the massage to recoup. Leg cramps diminished on last few hot days when it usually flares due to dehydration and may well be due to the session.
