With finely honed touch and an innate sense of flow, Joel brings a rare blend of artistry and therapeutic skill to his massage practice. His hands—trained through the nuanced shaping of clay—now apply that same attentiveness and precision to the body, listening for patterns of stress and gently guiding release.

Joel’s work as a massage therapist is deeply informed by his background as a seasoned potter and clay worker. Years of shaping clay have taught him how to listen with his hands – developing a refined sensitivity to pressure, texture and the subtle ways tension is held and released. Just like clay, the human body holds memory, stress, and emotion – Joel approaches both with care, precision, and deep respect.

This unique foundation gives Joel’s massage a distinctive quality – intuitive, attentive, and profoundly grounding. He applies a therapeutic quality of touch, with a calm, grounding presence, guided and informed by tuning into each body’s needs in that moment.  

As a naturally empathetic and energetically sensitive practitioner, Joel creates a safe and present atmosphere where each client feels seen, heard, and cared for. Whether you're seeking to ease chronic pain, find healing from injury, relax, or simply connect with your own body, Joel looks forward to working with you.
