Photo of Los Angeles based Certified Massage Therapist James Palmer

Welcome! I'm James Palmer, and for over a decade, I've dedicated myself to the art of massage therapy right here in Los Angeles.

I'm a proud graduate of the National Holistic Institute in Studio City, where I finished at the top of my class. I then spent four years honing my craft at the prestigious Equinox Spa in Beverly Hills, where I became the top-booked therapist. This experience taught me how to deliver a truly exceptional session every single time.

I specialize in Deep Tissue and Myofascial Release and have built a thriving mobile massage practice with a loyal clientele. My approach is different from a typical spa experience—I don't follow a script. Instead, I use an intuitive, holistic approach, listening to what your body needs to provide a truly personalized session. I connect with your muscles and fascia on a deeper level, using slower, more deliberate techniques to release tension and promote lasting relief.

I'm committed to helping you feel your best, whether it's for weekly maintenance or a monthly reset. I look forward to working with you.

My rates are straightforward and apply to any style of massage you need, with no extra charges for specialties like Deep Tissue or Myofascial Release. The price covers everything, so gratuities are not expected. However, if you're thrilled with your massage and feel inspired to show a little extra appreciation, it is certainly welcome.

Session rates

A rate card showing session lengths of 1 hour, 1.5 hours, and 2 hours with corresponding prices for a single session and monthly pre-paid options.

Single Session – Perfect if you’d like to book a treatment whenever you need it, with no commitments attached.

Monthly / Pre-Paid – Enjoy a special reduced rate when you schedule regular monthly sessions or pre-pay in advance. Reach out for details—I’d be happy to discuss the options with you!

Pre-paid reservations may be rescheduled once without a charge. Second reschedule would result in a $35 additional fee. Pre-paid appointments are non-refundable, but the balance may be transferred to another person. Monthly sessions may be arranged after your 2nd appointment.
