My name is Jacob and I am a licensed massage therapist, specializing in Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue Massage. I am a graduate of the Heartwood Institute (2005), Naropa University (2012) and the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork (2014). As a student of yoga, meditation, anatomy, and the healing arts for over 20 years, and with more than 900 hours of bodywork education, I understand  the importance of including the whole person--body, mind, and heart. While the physical body can be likened to a cart being pulled by the horse of the mind, being comfortable and pain free in our bodies is of utmost importance and the goal of my work.  Myofascial Release is a powerful massage style that can reorganize and correct the physical body, leading to decreased pain, tension, and discomfort, along with more easily attained mental poise and equilibrium. Myofascial Release uses slow, deep strokes combined with client breathing and movement/participation to lengthen the myofascial/muscular systems.  Since 2015 I have successfully treated thousands of clients with a wide variety of conditions at my clinics, Eugene Massage and Bodywork and Nashville Massage and Bodywork.  This work, and the opportunity it gives me to assist people on their journey towards greater health and balance, is a fulfilling and satisfying part of my life.
