Jim received his 2200 hour Massage Therapy Diploma at Mount Royal University, graduating in the class of 2020. Before his introduction to the practice, he was intrigued by the wellness and fitness industry. Using his personal experiences through this journey, began to take interest in helping others attain their goals. Upon discovering a passion for helping others, he decided he wanted to further his education in the industry which ultimately led him into massage therapy.

For his final research study at Mount Royal University, Jim focused on the effectiveness of massage therapy on injuries such as chronic whiplash-associated disorders.

Apart from whiplash, he takes a comprehensive approach to wellness with an emphasis on treating different types of chronic and acute conditions.

His treatments are tailored and unique to the clients’ needs which may involve techniques such as: manual therapy techniques, myofascial techniques, deep tissue massage, and more. Moving forward, Jim aspires to develop his skills within these techniques through conducting research and continuing his education in more advanced courses.
