Throughout his massage career, Russ has learned that no two sessions are alike. Everyone has their own set of life experiences and a unique relationship to their body, which deeply affects their personal massage style preferences and needs. This understanding has enabled Russ to utilize his training and extensive life experience to tailor each massage session to the needs of his clients. He loves blending styles and using the tools he knows to better fit the needs of his clients. From treatment-oriented bodywork including (but not limited to) trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, and acupressure, to more of the soothing, relaxing Swedish massage and even accessing a more energy-based multilayered Reiki, craniosacral therapy, and chakra balancing.

Russ graduated from the 500-hour program at Cumberland School for Holistic Therapies in Nashville, TN. Russ’s focus was in deep tissue and acupressure techniques. He also completed training in hot stone, prenatal, Thai massage, craniosacral, chair massage, he is a Registered Jin Shin Do® Acupressurist®, Certified Massage Cupping Practitioner, and in 2014 he attained his Mastership in the Usui method of Reiki energy healing. Russ is a professional member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).

Russ’s gifts range far and wide; his presence, smile and welcoming demeanor will always make you feel at ease. In his spare time he loves to spend time with his family, creating music and art, learning new massage modalities, and deepening his knowledge of the techniques that he currently utilizes.
