James’s Expert Fusion massage is an enjoyable holistic body treatment that blends the best of Thai massage, Yoga, Shiatsu and Aromatherapy. It is a tailored full body floor based massage therapy that works on many levels, yogic breath, somatic body scan, meridian and chakra based energetic bodywork and spiritual healing.

James’s grounded barefoot massage (included in fusion massage, time permitting) is an enjoyable, therapeutic and meditative floor-based massage designed for full body renewal, somatic healing and vital energy (Shakti) flow. Using overhead bars for balance only, he uses his feet with a Tai Chi-like mindfulness, shifting his body weight to expertly deliver a rhythmic, ‘living’ pressure that is both enjoyable and deeply healing. With barefoot massage, the feet provide a safe, broad compression that is deep yet soothing and grounding. It helps the somatic nervous system regulation, helping the client move from sympathetic ‘fight or flight’ to the parasympathetic ‘rest and digest’ mode. Barefoot work allows clients to enter a meditative, dream-like state faster than traditional massage. This ‘nirvana’ state creates the perfect opening for vital energy flow and emotional release. Barefoot work activates Shakti energy, opens the central channel (sushama) for the rising energy and removes any energetic blocks in the tissues, allowing for higher pleasure experience in the body.

This technique also provides a deep Myofascial Release, melting away chronic tension in the connective tissue, while the sustained, flowing, rocking strokes facilitate Lymphatic Drainage to support your body’s natural detoxification. It helps clear fascia tissue restrictions and encourages lymph fluid flow. Myofacial release massage allows the nervous system to process underlying trauma held in fascia tissue.

This barefoot massage is a fusion of healing barefoot techniques from Thai barefoot massage, Keralite/Chuvutti oil based barefoot massage and Japanese barefoot massage (Ashiatsu).

It restores both physical mobility and internal vitality. It is an effective, grounded, gravity-driven journey toward body realignment, fascia tension release, somatic nervous system regulation, chakra energy balancing, Shakti energy awakening and energy flow.
