I'm James Palmer, a certified massage therapist providing premium mobile massage services to the Topanga Canyon community. With nearly a decade of experience—including four years as the top-booked therapist at Equinox Spa Beverly Hills—I bring professional, therapeutic massage directly to your canyon home.
Whether you're recovering from hiking the countless Topanga trails, dealing with the physical demands of mountain living, managing creative stress, or simply honoring your wellness practice in this unique natural sanctuary, I provide personalized massage sessions tailored to your specific needs.

I specialize in results-driven therapeutic massage techniques:
Deep Tissue Massage — Release chronic muscle tension and adhesions with slow, deliberate pressure

Why Choose Mobile Massage in Topanga Canyon?
Bringing Wellness to the Canyon Living in Topanga means choosing nature, tranquility, and a slower pace. Why drive down the winding canyon roads to Santa Monica or the Valley for massage therapy? I bring professional bodywork directly to your mountain sanctuary, preserving your precious time and peaceful energy.
Understanding the Topanga Lifestyle Topanga residents lead distinctive lives—hiking daily, tending gardens, creating art, building community, and maintaining rustic properties on steep hillsides. These activities create unique physical demands: trail hiking strain, gardening-related back tension, creative desk work, and the simple physicality of mountain living. I understand these specific needs.
Honoring Your Wellness Practice The Topanga community values holistic health, conscious living, and intentional self-care. My approach aligns with these values—intuitive, present, whole-person focused. Whether you follow yoga, meditation, plant medicine practices, or other wellness modalities, therapeutic massage integrates beautifully into your existing routines.
Privacy in Nature Relax in your own canyon home where you're most comfortable, surrounded by the sounds of nature—rustling oaks, canyon breezes, birdsong. Whether you're in upper Topanga, lower canyon, near the village, or on a remote hillside property, I bring professional massage therapy to your doorstep.
Exceptional Experience As a graduate of the National Holistic Institute who finished top of my class, and former lead therapist at Equinox Beverly Hills, I combine technical excellence with an intuitive, holistic approach that resonates with Topanga's wellness-minded community.

What to Expect from Your Topanga Canyon Mobile Massage
Before Your Appointment I'll arrive on time (accounting for canyon roads) and set up quietly in your designated space. All you need is a bedroom, living room, deck, or any quiet area with approximately 8x8 feet of space. I bring everything else—perfect for Topanga canyon homes, cabins, and unique dwellings.
During Your Session Each session is fully customized and intuitively guided. Whether you need intensive deep tissue work to release hiking-related tension, gentle myofascial release for chronic patterns, sports massage for trail recovery, or deeply relaxing Swedish massage to honor your body's wisdom, I adapt to what you need that day. My approach is holistic and present—not mechanical.
After Your Session I'll pack up quietly while you continue to rest. Many Topanga clients schedule regular sessions—weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly—to support their active mountain lifestyles and maintain overall wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you reach remote canyon properties? I serve most Topanga locations. When booking, please share your specific address so I can confirm accessibility. If your property is very remote or requires 4WD access, we can discuss options.
Do you work with hikers and outdoor enthusiasts? Absolutely! Many Topanga clients are avid hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers, and outdoor adventurers. I specialize in addressing hiking-related soreness, IT band tightness, calf strain, and recovery from mountain activities.
What should I wear? Most clients undress to their comfort level and get under the sheet before I enter the room. I'm professional and respectful, and only the area being worked on is ever undraped.
Do you offer same-day appointments? Same-day appointments are available for established clients. New clients can typically book within 1-2 days. Check availability when booking online or text me at (917) 301-0905.
Are you licensed and insured? Absolutely. I hold California Massage Therapy Certification #73025 and maintain full liability insurance.
Do you understand holistic and integrative approaches to wellness? Yes! While my training is clinical and evidence-based, I deeply respect holistic wellness practices and work intuitively with the body's innate healing wisdom. My approach complements yoga, meditation, herbalism, and other healing modalities.
Can you work outdoors on my deck or patio? If weather permits and you have a suitable outdoor space, I'm happy to set up on a deck, patio, or in a garden setting. Topanga's natural beauty makes outdoor massage sessions particularly special.
