Jon's goal is to keep people active. He has a powerful deep tissue approach that gets to the root of pain.

As a multi-sport athlete, Jon is no stranger to aches and pains. Massage Therapy was an intuitive career choice because he first hand knows the way it keeps him moving and feeling free in his body. 

He draws from sport massage, myofascial release, and deep tissue massage and enjoys using tools such as bamboo sticks, hot stones and cupping to help you achieve effective deep structural change. He is passionate about his work and will leave you with stretches and exercises to keep you feeling your best!
