I am so grateful to have found Jesse! I’ve been training in Taekwon-Do since I was 4 yrs old and competing internationally with the U.S. ITF Taekwon-Do Team since 1995. In 2004, I was Team Captain and we won the World Championships in South Korea.

In addition to the physical training and eating right, massage was a crucial part of my training. It helped my body recover from intense workouts and allowed my body to come back from injuries faster than I thought possible.

When I began getting massages from Jesse and it was like night and day comparing Jesse to massages I’ve had in the past. I’ve used therapists that range from $150 to $250 per session and none of them have produced the results I’ve seen since working with Jesse. His ability to scan the body and pin point what is going on with you in a matter of minutes, even seconds astounds me!

I’ll come in talking about something wrong with my back and after 10 minutes of him working on my calf, my back feels great! He’s a master at seeing what your body is dealing with and what it really needs.

I’m currently training for the Taekwon-Do World Cup in Las Vegas in 2010 and I know Jesse will be a big part of my success.

If you are looking for a calm, relaxing, or soothing massage, Jesse James is not for you. If you want to be able to drift off peacefully while someone gently smooths out your muscles, Jesse James is not the massage therapist for you.

In fact, I wouldn’t even classify Jesse James as a massage therapist. After having a session with Jesse, I would say to someone “I just got a massage from Jesse James,” and yet it certainly wasn’t like any massage I’d had previously. Not even like any I’d had from Jesse James previously. Each massage, my body becomes a canvas for Jesse’s art. His art is one of healing. It’s an art of massage. It’s an art of energy exchange. It’s transformative. My first session with Jesse I cursed at him throughout the session. I screamed as he dug into my muscles with his hands, thumbs, elbows, and his body weight. There were times I felt an entire side of my body tingling and I worried I would be paralyzed. Yet my experience was that I was completely safe, loved, and he was healing me. Healing from what? I don’t know. Stress, anger, and frustration from my present life and from years ago. Things I had forgotten about from when I was a child. I’ve heard that the muscles store experiences somehow. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I experienced letting things go that I had been holding on to for years. I experienced freedom in my relationship with my brother who used to beat me up as a child. I became present to a new found joy and expression in vulnerability and intimacy in my relationship with my partner. I experienced peace with my physical body, and fully being able to trust someone else. When the “massage” ended, I also reaped the benefits that any other massage promises—a heightened state of relaxation, limberness and freedom in muscles where it wasn’t previously present or even available, and a sense of peace that comes with my body thanking me for taking care of it. Each massage since then has been distinct, different, and attuned to exactly what my body needs and is dealing with at the time. Sometimes, I’ll even admit, I find myself drifting off. Jesse’s massage/work/art altered my life, my experience of myself, my body, and my relationships.

If you are looking for a standard massage that simply leaves you feeling relaxed and soft afterwards, I wouldn’t recommend Jesse. If you’re looking for someone to alter your life, Jesse James is the one for you.

Jesse has been providing my massages exclusively since 2004! He has the touch. He makes sure that he connects with me and where he needs to focus for each massage. My muscles may be tight, ropes, overused or just plain tired and each time I leave I am rejuvenated and feel terrific. I would recommend his services to anyone who wants to move better.

Recently I asked Jesse to provide a lymphatic massage since I was terrilby sluggish, depressed and sore. I had not had my period in 7 months which told me my energy and lymphatic system was blocked. I also had old stagnant lymphatic drainage that had caused lumps under my breast. Jesse intuitively went to work on me doing a modified Polarity, energy focused release session and a lymphatic drainage. Immediately after the lympatic massage I felt lighter, the lumps were completely gone. Within a couple of days I started my period. I also felt much more positive and more focused then I had in months. I was able to stop taking antidepressents and have a new energy. Thanks Jesse for the gift.

Jesse is an extremely intuitive massage therapist who has an incredible knowledge of the human muscular system. He works with and finds the connecting points of muscles at the skeletal source. This is important in that he is able to work to release the tension and obstructions at their source. This type of work is very intense as it releases stored emotions as well as any body memories that may be stored in those tight muscles. I have received this type of therapeutic massage in the past and feel that Jesse’s work is far superior to any other massage therapist that I have worked with. He described himself, via his clients, as fearless. I prefer to refer to him as extremely intense. He will ignore your protests when he sees that you will be better served to work though the issue in the muscle rather than avoid it. Jesse takes what he has learned and experienced, applying the techniques to the individual.

Jesse is respectful of a client’s energy and works to rebalance it individually. This rebalancing is used to help transition the client back to reality. His massages often send the client into an altered space as a result of the physical, mental and emotional release that takes place during a session. He intuitively knows and understands where the chinese accupunture channels are and works to open them.

Personally Jesse, I thank you for trusting me and feeling comfortable to use me as a sounding board. At first this felt a bit awkward but there was an intimacy that I felt in this process. My body is on a better path of healing and your work with me allowed for this transition. It was a reminder to self that my body needs as much care as my mind.
—Timothy Swift MA, ND (Cand.)

Jesse has been my exclusive masseuse for more than five years because his massages do more than just work the kinks out of my muscles; they invigorate and rejuvenate me. His deep-tissue massages always find the parts of my body that are out of whack, and Jesse doesn’t stop working those areas until they are, um, back in whack.

Jesse’s massages allow me to get the most out of my body, whether it’s participating in the sports I love or just moving around in life. His deep tissue massages also give me the piece of mind to know that no matter how hard I play he can restore my body to full health. I have and will always recommend a Jesse James massage to everybody.
—DJ Burrough

I am pleased to unreservedly recommend Jesse Ferrell as an outstanding massage therapist. I first met him in an educational seminar about a year ago. I am a nurse practitioner by profession, and in my many years of experience have always referred clients only to colleagues whose work and character I personally know to be impeccable. Because Jesse's work with me has resulted in significant pain reduction and increased flexibility, it is my privilege to share the good news with others. You will be nurtured by Jesse's professional and sensitive demeanor as well as the safe and tranquil ambience of his home-based office. Please feel free to contact me if you have other questions. Be well.
—Carol Finney

Please rest assured that Jesse is very professional and does the best massage I have ever had. I use him as medicine, as he cures the aches and extreme pain that I sometimes accrue due to being an artist bent over my canvas all day. I feel very safe when I am at his house getting a massage and trust him completely.

Jesse is a very talented massage therapist. He specializes in deep tissue work, but is able to perform a variety of different styles -- even within a session -- depending on the need. He is highly intuitive, and addresses the needs of his clients in a professional, yet personal manner. I highly recommend Jesse to anyone searching for a "higher level" experience.
—Rebecca Bergman

I consider myself a long-time client of Jesse’s since 2004, and I believe I can provide you with real testimonial of how his services have been a true benefit to improving the quality of my life. My job is extremely stressful since I manage both a five person customer service department and oversee inside sales for a number of national and international distributors for a local manufacturer. I average nine to ten hours a day at work and often have to bring work home with me. As a result, I have trouble with relieving the stress, pressure in my neck, back, and arms, soreness in my lower back from sitting at my desk, and general overload from problems and issues that come from work. When Jesse first offered his services at the tanning salon office, I was interested in seeing if massage therapy might be able to help. Through our discussions and initial therapeutic massages, I felt an immediate improvement in my overall health and well-being. I was able to release the stress and felt as if I had more energy and clarity in my life.

Over the last three years, we have seen each other twice a month, occasionally more if I had a specific issue, and I prefer that the massages now take place at his home office than a public business. One reason I feel that way is because I am so relaxed and if my hair is messed up or I’m dressed in comfortable clothes I would not normally want anyone to see me in, I don’t have to be seen by strangers.

Jesse’s home is absolutely beautiful, warm and inviting. The massage room in his house is comforting, private, and a serene environment I look forward to relaxing in. Professional offices do not always make me comfortable, just ask my dentist! I can also appreciate that the fees you charge for your services are not incorporating large overhead costs associated with renting a location in a building or strip mall, travel expenses you would incur, etc.

Jesse is a true professional, clearly talented and knowledgeable about your work, and I have never felt uncomfortable with any of the conditions or therapy he has provided. His main interest is the well-being of his clients and he treat’s everyone with respect, courtesy, and true dedication to his work. I wish that I had the kind of rapport and understanding with my personal physician, dentist, and gynecologist that I have with Jesse. In a world that is so impersonal at times, it is wonderful to have the faith and trust I have in Jesse that I am receiving the best possible massage therapy I could find.

Jesse is not only a great massage therapist but a truly great person who has a true interest in his clients. It isn’t just about the money, he cares! He’s a real gentleman and you’ll find him easy to talk to as well as very thorough in his work. I wish you the best from your therapy with him and hope you have an appointment scheduled soon – you deserve it!
—Rene Poole

I have known Mr. Ferrell since 2004. As a mental healthcare professional myself, I believe strongly in the profound nature of the Mind-Body connection. I do not classify quality massage therapy as a “luxury” pursuit, but consider it an integral part of a healthy lifestyle.

I have received regular massage therapy for many, many years from excellent therapists in private practice and from therapists at some of the finest health spas in the country. I have never come across a therapist that has surpassed Mr. Ferrell’s clinical skills, whether in the form of traditional Swedish massage or intense, rehabilitative, deep-tissue sports massage therapy. From the time the massage begins, he seems to have an innate ability to automatically know exactly what type of technique his client needs most at that moment, and which part/s of the body warrant the most attention during the massage session.

Through my interaction with Mr. Ferrell, I believe that he always maintains the highest level of professionalism as a massage therapist, and that he has created an extremely comfortable environment for his clients. I have always been extremely pleased with Mr. Ferrell’s work personally, and believe in it enough to utilize him as a referral resource for my own clientele.
—Steven Nissenbaum, M.A.

I have been a client of Jesse’s for several years now. I started getting massages years ago when I lived in Arkansas. I got them to relieve the stress in my life and for the physical benefits they provided. I continue to get massages because they are of great benefit to my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I continue to get massages from Jesse because he is a master at what he does. I have experienced his mastery. I have experienced his gentle touch when needed and I have experienced his tenacity when I would have wanted to ask him to stop. I have experienced sessions from his massage menu and I have experienced sessions from his spa menu. Each has been awesome. Continuing with Jesse for massage work is a given for my well-being.
—Gerald Johnson

I was simply amazed at the depth of massage Jesse provides! I've had a lot of bodywork done over the years, including the good, the bad and the ugly. First off, Jesse creates a very safe and sacred space to simply relax and let go. And for those, like myself, that are interested in releasing deeply held emotions that are "stuck" in the body, his work allows for that process. I was surprised by both the physical and emotional release I experienced with him. For example, one very sore knot that I had all year behind my heart finally let go! PHEW! Thank you Jesse for the fabulous massage's! I feel GREAT!
—Gia Venturi

I had been putting off getting a massage because I was not able to find a Massage Therapist I liked. Recently, the health benefits of massage, as well as the work related stress I had been feeling finally motivated me to once again start the search for a Massage Therapist. After all, it was one of my New Year’s Resolutions, so about a month ago I finally decided to act on this resolution and start researching for a Massage Therapist.

A friend of mine had an out of town guest (who happened to be a Massage Therapist) that went to AZ Massage Spa and got a Therapeutic Massage from Jesse Ferrell. He said it was one of the best massages he had ever had, so I thought that was good enough for me. I called Jesse and scheduled a massage. Finally a New Year’s Resolution I was going to actually achieve!

Swedish Massages were the only type of massages I had had in the past. At the beginning of my appointment with Jesse, we discussed how I was feeling that day, my prior experience with massage and what my goals were for the massage. I let him know I was interested in achieving all the health related benefits of massage and he let me know that a Therapeutic Massage would be the right answer for me.

My first Therapeutic Massage was an eye opening experience for me and half way though it I was convinced that I would not be returning to Jesse for any future massages. As I mentioned I was use to Swedish Massage, not Therapeutic Massage which is a much deeper, intense massage. Jesse explained to me the benefits of a Therapeutic Massage, although not as relaxing as a Swedish Massage when it is being delivered, stay with you much longer.

After the massage was completed I felt really good, so good that I signed up for two additional massages (this from the guy who a short while earlier thought he would not be back to Jesse). The next day I woke up and felt like I was 25 years old again, not bad for a 44 year old Accountant. Therapeutic Massages from Jesse are going to continue to be a part of my future. Thank you Jesse!
—Steve Sereno

I’m an athlete. I exercise daily. I have sought and received therapeutic massage for 22 years. I like a rigorous massage that effectively melts the knots in my muscles. Jesse has worked on me for the past eight months, and I’m here to tell you he will melt those knots if you let him. He’s the best of any masseurs I know - methodical, tenacious, patient and knowledgeable, and he uses sensuality and nurturing effectively to your benefit.
—Daren Krypa

I started to see Jesse over three years ago (2004), when he was working out of the studio at the tanning salon. I am still a "regular" and have noticed considerable benefits in my health, especially in my ability to manage stress. Jesse is professional with a commitment to being a healer. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
—Corey Cox

I am a 58 year old woman in the fitness and health profession. I have long believed in the importance of regular massage as part of a healthy life style. I have known a few excellent massage therapists, but Jesse Ferrell is truly in a league of his own. His knowledge and skills are quite extraordinary, his professionalism exemplary. Jesse combines these skills and professionalism with an intuitive and caring approach to each session. This is serious massage therapy, redefining deep tissue work, and raising massage to its highest level of benefits.
—Lyn Burns

Jesse is awesome, I got the best massage I've ever had. Not only does he 'just know where to work' he listens to your breathing, watches your body and hears what you say, in order to pin-point those magic spots that need attention. Thank you, Jesse I'll keep coming back!!!!
—Lance Rampy

Thank you for being so kind. Your energy is playful, positive and spiritual. Quite a combination. Thank you for that.
—Ed Gould

Jesse thanks for the time spent during my massage to really focus on my bodies concerns. You are awesome. That may have been the best massage experience ever.
—Scott S.

I felt amazing last night...especially right after our session. It's hard to explain. I have to be honest, I've never had a massage that deep before. Sorry if I was a bit of a wimp and so vocal. Wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it through a couple of those procedures, but really wanted to go the whole 9 yards. I know my back and neck are pretty screwed up and that I'd benefit from it if I just let you go.

My shoulders are sore in spots today. I was able to ice down my back a couple times last night and again this morning. Only got about 20 minutes of Cardio in this morning, but will pick up again when I get home from the office.

It was a great session. You had me contorted in ways I didn't think were possible any longer. LOL!!! You have to be in absolutely remarkable shape to do that kind of treatment on people all day long.

Thanks again, and I look forward to my follow-up on Saturday.
—Chris D.

This letter commends Jesse Ferrell as an excellent massage therapist. It was a pleasure to have Jesse as a student in my Swedish Sedona class at the Southwest Intitute of Healing Arts. I found Jesse to be helpful with other students, always contributing a positive attitude to the class.

When class was over and he had an opportunity to practice, Jesse invited me to his studio to receive a massage. I was impressed with the quality of his work and his willingness to receive feedback in order to further improve his work. He recently invited me for a follow up session so I could review his progress. Such devotion is sadly rare among former students.

He brings a high level of awareness, caring, and fun as well as willingness to contribute to any enviroment he enters. Jesse gives an excellent massage and I would recommend him to work on anyone.
—Susan Pomfret

I highly recommend Jesse without hesitation as a gifted massage therapist. Jesse was a student of mine at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. There he excelled in anatomy, physiology and has acquired more than 1000 hours in many different healing modalities.

I have observed Jesse in many situations and he has an inate ability and superior knowledge for being a magnificant facilitator of healing. In short Jesse would be an asset for anyone. He is a wonderful person and a sharp clinician. He is personable, knowledgeable and has great integrity. He is a credit to his profession and to the community. I whole heartily recommend him to anyone.
—Nadene Nystuen

I have been sharing about my experince and can hardly find the words to descibe my massage with Jesse. Thank you Jesse, for who you are to health and vitality!

DON'T miss out on this opportunity!!!!! Jesse you have a gift, can't wait for the results that are beyond what I've already experienced in the past two hours!!!!!

—Malcolm Smith

Jesse your massages are phenomenal! I leave there with muscles relaxed, life is amazing once again and SO peaceful. I especially enjoyed the last one I had, with meditation by Swami.
—Maggie Mears, M.D.

After a visit to the gym I sometimes pull a muscle (or two). The Jesse James Method is the ONLY sport massage that actually stops the muscle from spasming. I've been to other massage therapists, but Jesse is the only person who seems to know what he is doing. He intuitively knows when to apply more or less pressure, works the attachment points, has a relaxing atmosphere for the massage, and knows a lot about nutrition and the body. I highly recommend the Jesse James Method.
