James is a healer of the highest order. He is intuitive, empathetic, skilled and kind. Very knowledgeable in several disciplines, he brings a wealth of experience to his work.I felt seen and heard and safe in his hands. He is completely professional and grounded.James is so thoughtful and creative in his approach; I would guess that each client receives a unique experience tailored specifically to his or her needs.Highly recommend.

James is truly a healer! He helped me get to a point where I no longer need surgery for a hip injury. He is extremely grounded and intuitive, he knows how to be in conversation with the body. I walk taller and more connected after every session and it feels so good to inhabit my body. I am so grateful to have found him online!

I have been working with James for a while. After a complex surgery and injury that prevented me from walking for 9 months I had to learn how to move again. When I first started my healing journey I was walking with a cane and had poor balance that caused difficulty feeling secure in my movement. With James help I am cane free, able to balance and move so much better. He offers such good feedback and homework that helps support the work we do in the sessions. His knowledge and understanding of the body has provided me with so much more than physical therapy or massage. I look forward to our sessions because no two are ever the same and I have learned so much about myself in the process. I am forever grateful to have found such an amazing healer.

James is magical. Part sound bath, part meditation, and massage! It’s, like, a whole thing. You should book a session or buy a package TODAY. You can thank me later ;)

James has incredibly in-depth knowledge and understanding of, not only the body and all of its many parts and layers, but perhaps most importantly, how it should work together smoothly and efficiently. It is rare to have a practitioner who can perform such precise hands-on bodywork, but also can guide movement practice in such creative and entertaining ways. A true gem!

I am a 77 year old woman with issues. Over my lifetime, I have had all kinds of massage, extensive acupuncture treatments, take herbs and was also rolfed when I was 40. I live in my body, I am relatively mindful for socially active attorney. He did major realignment of me and changes my energy flow too. James is wonderful. You will not n disappointed.

James is an absolutely brilliant practitioner with a keen sense of intuition, an excellent quality of touch, and an integrative practice of using bodywork while getting you to think of your everyday movement. As a movement practitioner myself, I am constantly impressed with James intuition of knowing just what the body needs at that time. His extensive knowledge of the body, organs, and nerves combined with his warmth and openness will make any client feel welcomed and well taken care of. Thank you James!

Working with James has been so incredibly helpful. James has shown a great deal of knowledge of his craft and has a very compassionate approach. With each session he has asked questions ahead of time to gain an understanding of me on a personal and physical level. I can tell he is attentive and considerate to what I am bringing into each session. James provides a level of comfort to his practice, his studio aesthetic and music he utilizes during sessions are reflective of this. I have come out of each session with more ease, understanding, and acceptance in my body and mind. This speaks to the quality of James’ work, he is truly a wizard. I would highly recommend James to anyone who is looking to improve their quality of life through any type of body work/ therapeutic approach.

James is an incredibly intuitive practitioner. His ability to listen always leads to a well-structured session that promotes greater mindfulness and wellbeing. As a dancer and movement teacher, Rolfing has given me the chance to explore movement without needing to adhere to form. Throughout my sessions, I have discovered a sense of groundedness while finding new pathways for movement. The work we have done has helped identify and release patterns of tension that have developed over years of misuse. The change I feel after Rolfing gives me the sense that I’m living in a whole new body.Thanks James!

James style of bodywork has been uniquely effective in helping me to not only resolve some of the persistent pain patterns Ive had in my body, but also to generally feel more connected with my whole self. I have seen numerous rolfers, massage therapists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, etc. etc. over the years, so I like to think I have a keen sense of a practitioners skills. In the sessions Ive had with James, I can tell that he is not just following some pre-set formula; rather, he is listening deeply and flowing with what arises during the session. He has an intuitive practice that, for me, has been incredibly therapeutic and helpful. The integration of sound into the session is also very well executed. I wholeheartedly recommend seeing James. He will work with you to restore and reconnect your body.

I saw James for a 10 series and and his skill shined throughout. I left there with a whole new sense of whats possible. Oh, and the 4th hour was amazing.

My body thanks me in proportion to how much time I spend with James. After each session weve had together, I walk away with less pain, less restrictions, and a greater sense of ease and bodily awareness.James has a way of speaking to my body that starts a conversation with myself, helping me create better habits of posture and movement long after my time with him is over.Its obvious that James is highly knowledgeable and that he practices what he preaches in a way that is always inspiring, and never intimidating. He reminds me of things I knew but forgot, and catalyzes new ways of thought and embodiment.He listens in a way that I feel individually cared for. Its obvious hes applying what he knows to help treat me as a unique individual, with all my quirks, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution Ive had the misfortune of paying for with other therapists.My suggestion, if you are fortunate enough to spend time with James, is to come prepared to engage in a reciprocal dialogue. Bring your questions, and be receptive to the beautiful two-way exchange that is his bodywork.
