Xavier Alexander Powell

Certified Massage Therapist and Health Educator

NESTA Certified Personal Fitness Trainer

In February 2005, I graduated and received a Massage Certification from the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville Ca.

NESTA Certification August 2013

My passion for helping others began while I was in high school playing sports and that passion has brought me back, now in the field of Therapeutic Massage and Health Education, and Personal Training.

I have been into health and fitness for more than twenty years and during that time I have had the chance to work with a variety of clients, from beginners to professional trainers to bodybuilders, where I was able to use my knowledge in the field of bodybuilding and body-sculpting, nutrition and supplements to help others achieve their goals.

While working for Family Fitness Center from 1983 to 1985,  I earned my certification as Nutritional Counselor, Cardiovascular Conditioner and a Personal Trainer. I also worked briefly for Gold's Gym in El Cerrito Ca. from 1985 to 1986, before shifting gears and deciding to pursue a modeling career.

During a successful 16 year modeling career, I was blessed with the opportunity to worked as a print, runway and body model, where professionalism and being in great shape was a must, which in turned allowed me to walk the runway of S.F. Macy’s passport shows to becoming the first man of color to grace the cover of Men's Fitness Magazine, being Puma's man of choice for more than three years and the lead #1 Hit R&B Ballard.

 My goal has always been to help others achieve their overall health and fitness goals by teaching life style techniques that challenges one’s mind, body and spirit. I strongly believe in giving all my clients a strong knowledge about their body's strengths and weakness that aids in designing a training regimen to meet their fitness goals for a lifetime and educating them on the values of incorporating massage therapy into their lifestyle to unload Tension patterns in the body, improving Range of motion, decreasing and eliminating stress, adding balance and natural body alignment while providing them with a overall sense of well being.

Hobbies include: The Arts, Art Museums, weight training and cardiovascular conditioning, cooking, traveling, being a Die heart Raider fan, reading personal development books and continue education
