Jak graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2022. During his time in college, Jak completed a comprehensive case study to measure the effects of myofascial release on a post-surgical gender-affirming top surgery (double mastectomy) patient. He learned a lot throughout the process of this study and was motivated by the positive results. This expanded his interest and focus in this area of massage and with providing a space for post-surgical patients to receive valuable care to aid in their recovery. Jak is also aware of the importance of having a safe space for LGBT2QIA+ folks to access care. This is something that Jak is deeply passionate about, and strives to provide for anyone seeking such a space, wherever you are in your journey. Jak has a passion for continual learning and deepening their understanding of all things massage (and the very cool things that massage can do!). With that, Jak continued his education around temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) with the TMJ Mastery course in an effort to deepen his skillset by offering both intra and extraoral modalities of treatment to further help his patients. While these are some special areas of focus, Jak also has a wide range of experience treating pre and post-natal clients, tension headaches, chronic pain conditions, nervous system support, digestive support, injury management, and more. Whatever you need help with, Jak has a strong focus on providing care that is non-judgemental, body neutral, supportive, and meeting clients where they’re at for a collaborative approach to health and recovery. In his own time, Jak enjoys working out, time spent in nature, riding his motorcycle, and feeding and watching the local hummingbirds. Jak is excited to work with Bump and continue to expand his knowledge around pelvic health and perinatal care, and be an integral part of your health care team.
