In 2003 Jimi was introduced to body work attending a yoga workshop at an intentional healing community. After trading with some practitioners he discovered a natural ability to find and release muscular tensions in the body. By 2007 it was clear bodywork and health and wellness wre more than passive interests and he enrolled in Hocking Technical Colleges Massage Therapy program; completing it in 2009. At the same time the opportunity to manage dialysis clinics presented itself and so for 7 years massage simmered as a part-time hobby as babies were raised and student loans disappeared.

By spring of 2016 Jimi began to feel "the call" to focus on massage work again. Healing touch is gift and earning a living sharing ones gifts is an enormous blessing. Receiving his license for Massage Therapy from the Ohio Medical Board in August of 2016 he is beginning to do just that.
