Why Massage?

Massage therapy has existed for thousands of years and dates back to 3000 BCE or earlier in India and Asia. It was considered a sacred system of natural healing. Massage is believed to restore the body's natural balance so that it can heal itself.  I firmly believe the body CAN heal itself as balance is what the body seeks and desires. Holistic and naturopathic healing methods include massage therapy and other treatments to address injury, disease, stress, anxiety, emotional distress, environmental factors, and help restore balance to the body, mind, and spirit as a whole. 

Massage therapy is much more than a way to relax, although that is one absolutely wonderful side effect. We live in stressful times, have stressful jobs and lives, have imbalances in our body and/or mind and soul. SELF CARE is something that many people put off or disregard as unnecessary. Self care through the reduction of stress and anxiety is very important. Restoring balance to our body and mind is of the utmost importance. Preventive care and chronic pain management is what I am all about!

 Why The Massage Guy? 

1) Many refer to me as an "artist" or "healer". It takes a special type of personality, skill, experience, and intuition to become a true massage artist. 

2) I am highly trained and intuitive. Each person has unique challenges and it requires focus and skill to address what each person needs specifically.  I listen to your muscles and body through touch and intense focus.

3) I am a decent human! I try to get to know my clients, their challenges, and maintain good energy and ground myself before each client session. I am not perfect and have many of my own life battles but I intentionally focus on you and your needs. Many clients have mentioned how comfortable and relaxed they feel around me and they feel calm. 

4) My primary focus in massage therapy is YOU and restoring balance through injury prevention and recovery, reduction of stress and anxiety, addressing trigger points or adhesions in the myofascial layers, and reducing or eliminating tightness in muscle tissue. I accomplish this through Deep Tissue massage,  Myofascial Therapy or Trigger Point, Stretching and Range of Motion, and Swedish Massage. 

Each session is customized according to what your body is telling me to focus on.  I am very intuitive and make your very specific and individual needs, my number one priority and focus on restoring your balance and healing. My talent and ability to help others has been proven. I continue to seek knowledge and learn new techniques over time. I am licensed through the state of Utah and passed the national MBLEX. I am also currently an instructor at a local massage college in Bountiful, Intermountain Massage Therapy College.
