 James has been working in the holistic therapy field for the past 15 years and often brings profound results to his clients both cranial, visceral and musculoskeletal treatments.  Many of his clients can begin their healing journey towards a more holistic condition shortly after their treatments.

Many dysfunctions and imbalances in the body are often treated with muscle-resisted techniques where joints and congested areas are gently flushed towards more normal movements.  These subtle changes are often felt immediately or shortly after treatment.

Many of these techniques improve musculoskeletal function through mobilizing joints and stretching tight muscles and fascia tissues thereby reducing pain. By applying the visceral, neural, articular, brain and vascular manipulations, these innovative therapies and revolutionary techniques often improve patient outcomes with longer lasting results.

James takes pride with his clients healing journey and is very supportive with their long-term positive results.

 James’ family moved to the Sherwood Park area in 1966 and he continues to live here today.
