Originally from New Jersey and with a sports background in football and track and field, I decided to combine my passion for anatomy and kinesiology by obtaining my certification from NCBTMB after completing coursework at the Virginia School of Massage in Charlottesville. I specialize in providing relief with sports massage as well as other massage techniquesincluding Swedish, Deep Tissue, Medical and Trigger point. I have created a comfortable environment that strives to educate patrons on the importance of body awareness and the benefits of massage. I have worked with various athletics programs, including Track and Field, Women’s and Men’s basketball, Football, Swimming, and Tennis teams. I utilize my knowledge of sports-related injuries to assist athletes in managing injuries and to educate them on ways to improve whole-body movements, in order to decrease the potential for further injuries. These skills of awareness are beneficial to all, not just athletes. 
I am committed to educating people on the benefits of massage and to help integrate massage for a better quality of life.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

Jarrel is friendly, professional and skilled. He addressed my issues and explained why I was having them. He also gave me info to use at home. Because of COVID restrictions I had been hesitant to resume getting a massage but now I am fully vaccinated and felt like a million pounds had been lifted off! I will be back in 2 weeks!

Always a great job. The massage is different every time and focuses on where you need release. No cookie cutter massages here

Great massage therapist, professional and skilled!

Jarrel was a professional but definitely more down to earth than I have experienced before. We chatted my entire massage, he explained to me about a problem area I was having and what I can do to help it. Definitely recommend him.

Jarrel is skilled, knowledgable, and kind. The massage was fantastic, and he even gave me some ideas for stretches to do at home to help with my upper back issues!

Jarrel is very professional and very personable. I felt comfortable and relaxed from the very start. I left feeling like a new person and went for a jog when I got back from my deep message! AMAZING!
