James attended UCLA on a sports scholarship, majored in physical education and
philosophy. Having been active in sports most of his life, with the normal bumps and
bruises, soreness, and occasional injury which lead him to discover the importance of
massage and its rejuvenative effects. In college James was introduced to some of the best
techniques to relieve pain and stiffness, and has been using therapeutic touch on his own
injuries as well as other athletes to reduce spasms, inflammation, swelling etc. ever since.
James began practicing therapeutic massage and sports therapies in earnest more than 14
years ago. He completed massage school in New Mexico in 1986, the AMTA exam in 1989,
and licensed in Hawaii in 1991. Now James takes from his years of experience to help others
in living not only a pain free life, but one full of health and vitality.
The search for truth and knowledge has been a theme through James’ life. He has continued
to learn and study throughout his life. Over the years James has learned, practices and uses,
forms of rejuvenation and health such as Tai Chi and meditation that renew the Life Energy
called Qi. After 11 years of practice James met and studied with Master Alfred Huang on
Maui for 3 years, learning some of the most powerful rejuvenative breathing and meditation
techniques. While on Maui James also apprenticed with Dr. Kreuger, studying acupressure
and Chinese herbs.
In New Mexico James explored the holistic life science of Ayurveda, the traditional medicine
of India, with author and doctor, Dr. Vasant Lad. He continued the discovery of this natural
system of medicine on Maui and in India with Dr. Rajkumar Reghunathan MD, and later
studied with his teacher in India, world renowned Dr. Hari Chandran, who is the leading
expert in Siddha Vaidya or rejuvenation techniques. Siddha Vaidya body treatments promote
beauty and longevity as well as triggering the repair mechanism of the body.
He now consults with individuals, to help them determine the best foods and lifestyle for
them as an individual that promotes a long and health life.
Touch is the single most important therapy that has a profound effect on the whole body.
Massage and Siddha Vaidya treatments are primary tools for reducing pain, reducing
inflammation, increasing blood flow, improving the immune system, and stimulating the
repair mechanism of the body.
Studies have shown children grow stronger, bigger, and with better learning and mental
faculties, than those children that did not receive massage and other touch stimuli. With the
discoveries of neuro-peptides and neuro-transmitters in the early 90’s the science
community began to name the chemicals that stimulate repair and rejuvenation in the body
naturally through such practices as massage, pressure point therapy, myofascia stretching,
and therapeutic touch. Every culture through history has utilized touch for health, some
incorporating aromatherapy, plant based pastes, and other ingredients that stimulate a
change or adaptation to the body. Through the skin using the sense of touch we have the
safest and most effective way to relieve pain, reduce stress, and improve one’s overall health.
Austin, Texas is where James makes his home, where he plays in the lakes, swims, and
paddles with the canoe club, while enjoying the local hill country and great music. Along
with a growing practice in Austin Texas consulting on health and lifestyle, and providing
rejuvenation therapies, James consults and teaches these philosophies and practices.

health. Live the life you were meant to live.
