Jake became a massage therapist in 2011. An avid ultramarathoner and climber himself, he started out working with professional athletes in his community to relieve chronic pain, muscular dysfunction, and lagging recovery times. Looking for a deeper understanding of the root causes of those issues, he trained with top practitioners to develop tools and therapies that would allow him to take a more holistic approach to mobility, wellness, and movement. After nearly a decade of practice, he now works with all types of clients, from professional athletes to everyday people looking to improve their quality of life. He regularly teaches seminars for other bodywork practitioners, so he can spread the message of optimal function and good health.
