John brings a unique blend of compassion, experience, and clinical expertise to his work at Twin City Massage. Though he has been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 2 years, his background as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant spans more than 33 years, working with children with multiple disabilities and adults with varying levels of physical challenges.
Inspired by his own massage therapist, John pursued massage therapy as a natural extension of his lifelong commitment to helping others heal and regain function. He specializes in Swedish and medical massage, myofascial release (John Barnes MFR I, II, and Unwinding), trigger point therapy, deep tissue techniques, fascial pelvis, and infant massage.
His Story
John’s approach is simple yet effective: “Listen first, then adjust treatment to the client’s needs.” He enjoys working with individuals seeking pain relief, improved mobility, or relaxation, tailoring each session to help clients restore balance and find normalcy in their daily activities.
At Twin City Massage, John values the family-like atmosphere among his coworkers and the genuine care shared within the team.
Outside of work, John enjoys Christian ministry, nurturing his houseplants, spending time with his grandsons and family, and relaxing with jigsaw puzzles. His favorite quote captures his compassionate outlook:
“Live simply so others can simply live — strive to be the best version of yourself.”
