James Simmons LMT MA60933
I became a massage therapist because I wanted to help others achieve an optimal state of well being. The everyday stress that we experience wears us down, causing both our mind and body to become unbalanced. It is through my training at Bonita School of Massage that I learned how to use my hands as therapeutic tools to gently smooth away stress and aches, replacing them with relaxation, peace, and an overall sense of wellness. Personally, the best part about being a massage therapist is the immediate sense of accomplishment and gratification that I feel, knowing that when you leave your session you will feel better and more knowledgeable than when you arrived. I am a firm believer that knowledge is power and that the more you know about what might be causing you discomfort, the faster we can get you on track to a healthier life. During your session, we will discuss any concerns that you have and determine which massage would be best to meet your needs.
The modalities I currently specialize in are Deep Tissue, Swedish, and Reflexology. I look forward to meeting you and know that after your session, you will leave feeling relaxed, revived, and rejuvenated.

Excerpt from an email in regards to James Simmons:
Simply, God given talent with his hands and arms, that for James, flows flawlessly when helping a client, with his mind and soul orchestrating directing and anticipating almost EXACTLY, every time, that which is really needed.
He also knows and “plays” my spine like a concert violin.
He is that good!
Remember, I have had massage all over the world. I have told you about the Buddhist Monastery in Northern Thailand in Chiang Mai, I go to every so often. These monks are all BLIND. They do, though, have a direct line to the powers of the universe, as it flows down from above, into their hearts, down their arms wrist hands and fingers…..
Out onto and into their recipient.
James has some of that in him.

Sherry Smith, ERYT500, LMT, B.Sc.
My personal journey into Yoga and Wellness began in 1998 when I found myself in a high-pressure, demanding corporate management job. I sought out Yoga as a way to manage my mental and physical stress, but found a path for balance and centered mindfulness in my everyday life. Through Yoga, I felt peace, personal satisfaction and bliss from my practice on a level that I hadn't experienced before. I have dedicated the past 6 years of my life on a path of learning and sharing the gift of Yoga and Wellness with my students and clients.
My teaching style reflects my own personal journey, which is influenced by many styles of yoga. I meet students where they are from gentle to power yoga. With my considerable training and understanding of the physiology of the human body, I am able to be in-tune and fully present with my individual students and help them achieve their goals for wellness and personal growth. I strive to keep my students safety and comfort a priority, while providing a fun, light-hearted session, focused on the mind-body connection. I am available for private sessions and Thai Yoga Massage by appointment.
