BIO
Jackson graduated from West Coast College of Massage Therapy on Vancouver Island in 2019,
and is new to the Kootenays. He approaches massage and manual therapy
through the lens of the nervous system. From his personal and professional experiences, he
has seen how massage therapy can be used to help change your awareness and perception to
areas in the body that have become sensitive, irritable, and stuck in a holding pattern. He uses
a slow, intentional approach to connect with your body and nervous system.
Sessions are interactive and person-centered with a goal to facilitate ease and comfort in your body. Each
session he gathers information and gets context to help direct the assessment and course of
treatment, taking time to check in throughout.
Jackson might ask for some participation from you during each session, which can involve
gentle movement while he engages that area of your body. Most of the session is done on the
treatment table, but sometimes treatment can be done sitting or upright, assessing how the
body moves in space. With that said, he asks that you wear comfortable loose-fitted gym wear
(shorts, tank top/sports bra) and he will ensure that you are comfortable.
Jackson has professional interests in psychology, body language, expressive movement, and
the importance of breath awareness to help self regulate the nervous system. Outside of the
clinic, he spends a lot of time playing music and exploring the outdoors.
