About Me
Seventeen years ago, I embarked on a deeply personal journey, grappling with chronic pain, illness, and mobility challenges. It's been a nearly two-decade quest to gather the tools necessary to inhabit a body free from persistent discomfort—and now, I'm eager to share this transformative gift with you.
​
With a passion for greater states of wellness, I utilize the complimentary services of massage therapy, hypnotherapy, and online personal training to catalyze change in the clients I serve. Grounded in the intricate interplay between mind, body, and our nervous system, my mission is to empower clients through knowledge and action to liberate themselves from the shackles of chronic pain and discomfort.
​
As a seasoned, compassionate, and trauma-informed massage therapist, I draw upon nine years of hands-on experience and 17 years of coaching and personal training expertise in every session. With an unwavering focus on the pivotal roles of fascia, anatomy, posture, and pain, I employ a distinctive blend of therapeutic modalities to target the underlying causes of distress and dysfunction.
​
I specialize in injury treatment using myofascial release, neurofascial release, and fascial stretching—three complementary approaches to fostering fascial health and enhancing mobility. Through myofascial release, I penetrate deeply to alleviate tension and adhesions within the fascial matrix. Conversely, neurofascial release harnesses gentle touch to awaken the parasympathetic nervous system, fostering relaxation. Additionally, localized fascial stretching techniques are integrated for continued relief.
​
By blending these modalities, I craft a personalized, holistic regimen tailored to your unique needs and preferences. Whether you're navigating sports injuries, grappling with chronic pain conditions, or seeking solace from the strains of daily life, my comprehensive approach to treating pain and injuries paves the path to renewed freedom and amplified well-being.
​
Imagine a network within your body, like a finely woven 3D spider web, connecting every muscle, bone, and organ. This is the fascial matrix, a vital component of our anatomy. Now, imagine the vagus nerve, the guide of our autonomic nervous system, threading its way through this intricate web.
​
By accessing the vagus nerve, we unlock increased potential for healing and balance within ourselves. Through gentle touch and intentional movement, we can work to ease tension in this interconnected system, promoting full body relaxation, better digestion, and increased emotional well-being.
​
Today, I invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and restoration. Let's tap into the healing power of the vagus nerve, fascia, and your parasympathetic nervous system to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.

In wellness,
Ray
