Welcome Jake Sands, LMT of .

Jake has an intuitive touch, which he uses to skillfully identify and address imbalances in the body with attentive care.

As a lifelong athlete with a deep passion for supporting the climbing community and athletes dealing with chronic issues, he is especially driven to uncover the root causes beneath surface-level problems—working through layers of lifelong stress and chronic tension to restore balance and ease to the body.

Jake will be my main referral to clients that I can no longer serve in my practice. Please follow his page, and his link in bio to schedule appointments.

There’s a lot of misconceptions floating around about male massage therapists, and it’s time to set the record straight!
1️⃣ 
Fact: Male massage therapists are just as skilled at providing soothing, relaxing, and gentle techniques as their female counterparts. Strength doesn’t equal roughness, and intuition comes with experience!
2️⃣ 
Fact: Whether you need relaxation, therapeutic care, or deep tissue, male therapists offer a wide range of techniques. It’s all about the right pressure and approach for YOUR needs.
3️⃣
Fact: Professionalism is key! A good male therapist creates a safe, respectful environment, ensuring the comfort and trust of their clients.
4️⃣
Fact: Male massage therapists are deeply attuned to the healing power of massage, often incorporating mindfulness, stress relief, and body alignment into their sessions.
Let’s break the stereotypes! 🛑 Whether you’re male or female, your therapist’s expertise is what matters most. If you’re on the fence, give a male therapist a chance to show you the benefits firsthand!

Did you know there are 26 muscles on the head and face alone! Often we are unaware of how much tension we hold in our cranial, jaw and facial muscles. I love to end my sessions with intricate head and face massage to make the whole body feel integrated and relaxed.

I love love love working on athletes, because I am an athlete myself and know how important it is to keep my body mobilized and my tissues in tip-top condition. Getting regular body work helps prevent injury, increases range of motion, and reduce inflammation so you can keep doing your favorite things.

Do you know what I love most about my job as a body worker? The unspoken connection between my hands and the bodies of my clients. That space where they go deep within themselves and the nervous system down regulates into that “in-between sleep and awake” space, where their bodies guide me to where the work needs to happen.
If you are ready to sink into that magic space please click my link in bio.
Now accepting new clients for 60 and 90 minute integrative massage sessions.
