BIO:
I go by James or Jim, and massage therapy isn’t just my profession - it’s my passion. Growing up in Buffalo, MN, and graduating from Buffalo High School in 2002, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for the power of hands-on work. That led me to earn an A.S. degree in Automation Robotics from Dunwoody College in 2006, launching me into the world of manufacturing. But my true calling? Helping people heal. In 2012, I gained a certification in massage therapy from the Minnesota School of Business (Elk River), blending my analytical problem-solving skills with the healing power of touch.

With over a decade of experience across 10+ modalities, I focus on both relaxation and healing. I specialize in Myofascial Release (MFR), Trigger Point Therapy (Shiatsu), Craniosacral Therapy, Reflexology, Lymph Drainage, and Sports Massage - helping clients relieve chronic pain, increase mobility, and reset their nervous systems.

As a pragmatist, I view the world through a black-and-white lens, yet in massage, I embrace innovation - constantly refining techniques and pushing boundaries to map out the most effective path to healing; it’s why I created modality combinations like Beyond the Classics, The Works, and Tranquil Reset.

Looking forward to meeting you and helping you get back to feeling your best!

QUICK FACTS

Trust, shared interests/beliefs, communication styles, and/or understanding are key elements to being able to relax and heal.

This section is meant to see if Jim and you would be a great fit. We want you to find you ur massage therapist.

  • Healing client's pain points and lack of motion through creative use of modalities.

  • Very analytical - not a "feelings" person (will never learn or offer reiki massage because of the latter, but I get it because I've experienced it's benefits), outspoken in convictions and beliefs, want to connect with others but find superficial conversation taxing.

  • My family, big breakfasts on the weekends, the carnivore diet (95% of the time) as a type 1 diabetic, and chasing my son around our home.

  • The skill of mindreading and do not assume wants or needs.

  • Certified in 10+ modalities in 2012 from Minnesota School of Business (Elk River, MN).

    • Videogames

    • Japanese, Korean, and Chinese anime

    • Conservative political commentary and podcasts

  • Tend to be outspoken conservatives OR have a preference for silence (I’m able to focus my energies on healing then).

    They are able to speak up and request changes during the massage, love health and wellness, and want to relax as well as heal and support their bodies.
