My name is Jim, and I specialize in Deep Tissue and Sports Massage, also integrating a variety of other techniques including Swedish, Trigger Point, and Energetic Healing. I have been doing massage professionally since 1990. My main training was at the International Professional School of Bodywork in San Diego, CA. I also apprenticed for one year to an amazing Rolfer in Santa Monica, and with indigenous shamanic healers in many parts of the world over the past three decades. My other formal training includes with the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing (Santa Monica), Body Electric School (Oakland), the School for Self-Healing (San Francisco), the California College of Physical Arts (Orange County), and the Sunray Meditation Society Healing Arts Training Program (Burlington, Vermont).

I actually began my career as a massage therapist at an international healing arts conference in Giza, Egypt, with the Great Pyramid as the backdrop. I subsequently did bodywork at the Fondation Soliel in Geneva, Switzerland. I also worked and taught at the Institute for Holistic Treatment and Research in Newport Beach, CA, as well as at private chiropractic offices in both Southern and Northern California.

I have been actively involved in the healing arts and all sorts of alternative physical and spiritual therapies since my early teens. So when you have a massage session with me, you benefit from my broad range of knowledge and experience that I bring to the table - literally. At the same time, YOU are my focus, and each session is tailor designed to fit your needs in that moment. I will go as deep or as gentle as you want. I can do the whole body in one session, or just focus on the areas that are needing particular attention on that day.

Many are surprised by the strength that comes through me. For though I am a compact 5' 6" and 150 lbs, I am a muscular man with very strong hands, thanks to playing the piano since the age of 3. My regular workouts at the gym, and training in yoga and dance also contribute to the quality of my massage work, as I am very aware of bringing flow and balance to each session.

Both my Berkeley and San Francisco studios are very quiet, warm and private. Both studios look out onto beautiful, secluded ceremonial gardens. Inside they are designed as sacred healing spaces that incorporate indigenous art, artifacts and healing altars. I use massage tables at both locations, with either oil or lotion as per your preference. I also provide great relaxing and unique music from my huge CD collection, as my other main work is as a musician/ composer. So when you come for a massage, you get a TOTAL experience!

My rates are $75 for 60 minutes or $100 for 90 minutes. Parking is available at both locations. Often I can take last minute appointments, but it is sometimes better to schedule at least a day or two ahead. I am available most days between noon and 10 pm.
