REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Fitness, or Wellness services

by Corbitt on Aug 24
I loved that James truly listened to my complaints about my body and where I’m at and completely tailored the massage to my specific needs on the fly. Some MTs have an ego about this kind of thing, but not James.
by Corbitt on Aug 24
James kindly added on 30 minutes even though he was at the end of his workday. Much appreciated.
by Blair on Aug 10
This was such a different massage experience in the best way. James is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does for his clients which shows in his work. Can’t wait to go back and refer more people to him!

Didn’t realize my fascia held a grudge. James tamed it. Quiet room, skilled hands, zero hype. Just results. 20 words.

It was literally the best experience with a massage therapist I have ever had. AndI have never had one that wasn’t excellent. He was superior to all of them. He listened to all I presented to him and heard every single thing. Then he proceeded to address each area of difficulty. During the whole time, he was educating me, too. Finally, he showed me exactly how to execute an exercise with very specific movement targeting my greatest area of problems to do at home. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

James helped me a lot. I went in with a stiff neck and when he was done I had a good bit of mobility. I need to schedule another appointment soon! I Highly recommend James.

Absolutely wonderful experience! James took the time to talk out my pain points and concerns at our first session and explained each technique throughout my massage. Highly recommend!
