James R. Dixon, Certified Massage Therapist CMT# 93509

I am a Certified Massage Therapist and Holistic Healthcare Practitioner with over 1,000 hours of training in bodywork healing arts. A few of my favorite modalities to perform are Aromatherapy, AromaTouch Technique, Hot Stone, Shiatsu, Fibromyalgia, and Pranic Healing.

Why Massage Therapy?

I was overweight for my size as a result of bad dieting and lack of fitness. For years, I've suffered from depression and anxiety. Unhealthy foods and soda was my coping mechanism. I was eventually diagnosed as prediabetic. After making some much needed lifestyle changes, I lost 35lbs and took control of my health mentally and physically.

Massage Therapy played a huge role in my lifestyle changes. For years I've researched a career in Massage Therapy, but I was hesitant to begin schooling because of lack of confidence. That quickly changed once I visited the School of Holistic Touch. The school Director, Admissions Advisor, and Instructors gave me all the tools I needed to become a great Massage Therapist.

This means a lot to me because I decided to leave my job I was at for nearly 12 years to follow my heart and my passion. I'm going into my new career as Certified Massage Therapist with no expectations. Just pure heart, passion, and love for the art and healing nature of massage therapy. I'm excited to see where this takes me!!!

Building Relationships

You will reap the benefits of massage if it becomes a regular part of your life. My goal is for us to work together to take better care of your health, long-term.

Sharing Knowledge

Communication is key. I need to know what you're feeling, experiencing and what you're looking to gain in order to best help you. In turn, I will explain the treatment and what you can expect to gain from it.

Helping You Feel Better

Massage is a tool to help heal. Whether it's stress, illness or simply to pamper yourself, the benefits of massage can be life changing. I would be honored to take that journey with you.
