Beyond Massage Therapy
I am a lifelong learning and anatomy nerd who reads scientific literature. I like exploring new restaurants in my leisure time because I am a foodie. As an avid cook and photographer, I love to cook, especially Thai food. I also find peace in hiking, taking photos, and caring for my cactus collection.
My Clients are the Hero
Jesse is incredibly skilled. He is completely worth the visit; he is able to make real progress towards your goals. He restored range of motion and calmed irritated muscles in my legs and it made a huge difference in my ability to move well.
I’ve been dealing with issues that have plagued me for over 7 years and in 2 visits I am on my way to recovery! Jesse is really skilled! I’m pretty hard to please because I’m a bit of a perfectionist, but I’ve finally found the right person to help me get me back to life!

Jesse did an outstanding job alleviating pain from a tennis injury. He is knowledgeable of the human body and asks excellent questions to help create an assessment and to provide an excellent massage and bodywork. He understands how the connections of the body work and where the trigger points are. Thank you so very much for your time and expertise.
