Life is a Verb!

There is something compelling about being able to put my hands on people and make them feel better.

While I was formally trained at the National Holistic Institute in San Francisco in 2009, I have been giving massages my whole life. My mother tells stories of back rubs I gave at age of 7, and my college friends fondly remember study breaks with shoulder rubs and hand massages to keep us all going.

Amazing as always!

James is a very gifted massage therapist. I've had many massages over the years, and he's at the top of the list. He's friendly, and immediately made me comfortable. His deep work freed up knots I didn't even know I had! Total relaxation, and I didn't feel like I'd been run over by a truck the next day.
