Jackson is a graduate from West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria and has been in practice since 2019. He approaches massage and manual therapy through the lens of the nervous system. From his personal and professional experiences, he has seen how manual therapy can be used to help bring awareness and change perception to areas in the body that have become sensitive, irritable, and stuck in a holding pattern. He uses a slow, intentional approach to connect with your nervous system. Sessions are interactive and person-centered with a goal to facilitate ease, and comfort in your body. Each session he gathers information and gets context to help direct the assessment and course of treatment, taking time to check in throughout. Jackson is also currently a student of Somatic Experiencing (SE), a therapeutic approach aimed at addressing how trauma and adverse experiences can manifest as nervous system dysregulation, and how this shows up in our bodies. This approach allows him to adapt his treatments to how you are presenting in the moment, and uses body awareness as a main way to help facilitate change. Jackson might ask for some participation from you during each session, which can involve gentle movement while he engages that area of your body. Most of the session is done on the treatment table, but sometimes treatment can be done sitting or upright, assessing how the body moves in space. With that said, he asks that you wear comfortable loose-fitted gym wear (shorts, tank top/sports bra) and he will ensure that you are comfortable.
