Jackson is a 2019 graduate from West Coast College of Massage Therapy and is registered with the CMTBC. His academic background has led him to pursuing how therapeutic touch, manual therapy and general movement awareness can be used to regulate the over-active nervous system.
His approach to massage and manual therapy is patient- centered, and his therapeutic technique is slow, sustained and intentional. Pressure and depth of contact can vary and be adjusted to your individual needs.
