Back Story
The son of a nurse and a telecommunications technician, James was born in 1978 in Christchurch, New Zealand.
He moved to Melbourne in early 2012 and hasn’t looked back.
Treat the problem AND the person. James delivers his technical expertise through a grounded, empathetic human face.
“My approach is built upon the most up-to-date research and theory on how massage therapy can help you feel better — and not just the physical hands-on aspect, this also takes in the psychological and emotional effects of touch based therapies. I believe in treating the problem as well as the person.” Your body, your mind and your heart are all physically and directly connected, and it is simply wrong-headed to try to separate them. James’s goal is thus to help you feel better physically as well as mentally, supporting you towards all-round wellness.
It is this wholeness that is at the centre of “(w)holistic” health.
You will be fully informed throughout your treatments about what James is doing — he’s great at explaining things. No tricks, no gimmicks, no mystical mumbo-jumbo or co-opting of big scientific words.
Just a great sense of pressure, super-soft towels, classical music, amazing technical expertise, and a deep love for the work with an abiding commitment to giving you the massage you need to feel better, today.
You most literally are in good hands.

The Future
2016 is going to be all about building the practice up for James. He’s feeling confident with his skill set and his ability to help people, so now it’s time to get the word out.
To do this, James is putting together a number of public workshops and honing his presentation skills. Having spent several years now explaining to his clients what is happening with their bodies, and how to avoid common injuries and pains, James now wants to take his messages to a wider audience in order to help more people.
After that, his dream is to open a retreat centre within a couple of hours from Melbourne, a place where stressed-out people can go for a day, a week, a month or more so they can get their heads and bodies straightened out. This would be a leafy green place where a number of experts, practitioners and speakers would be able to empower people to overcome stress and pain.
