REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Lionel on Jul 01
His knowledge of muscles is amazing. For me going to James is therapy for my shoulder and hip pain. He has spoiled me and I have not found no other who can duplicate his experience.

If you're in need of massage therapy, James is your man. Not only is James excellent at what he does, he's friendly, professional and flexible. I would never hesitate to recommend his services. He's worth every dollar.

James knows the body very well. He was able to identify which muscles were causing me pain and he dug right in. I felt great after my massage. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

James is an intuitive massage therapist! His fingers and mind work in unison to help your body unwind. I always walk away feeling taller, lighter and happier. The sacred space James cultivates is also so inviting; with a mix of spirit, wisdom and art, I feel instantly at home and at peace.

James is always kind, courteous, and friendly. His studio is warm and inviting. And he’s extremely skilled in his massage skills. He doesn’t just remedy the symptoms, he solves the underlying problems.
