ABOUT TRESSA JAMES

I grew up on a Saddlebred and Arabian horse ranch in Olympia Washington,  The James Gang Ranch.   My childhood was idealic in that ‘all young girls want a horse’ sort of way.   We rarely had less than 20!   I appreciate so much the nonverbal communication with animals and people.   So much can be said if you’ve been taught to listen.   I firmly believe the horses in my childhood taught me to really listen with my heart.   And so it is this farm life that lead me to my chosen profession of bodywork.   My passion.

Life is such a joy and reflection of my choices has allowed me to succinctly define my direction. I had not realized when I first began attendance at The Soma Institute that I would find myself and my service through this medium called ‘bodywork’. I could not even have defined bodywork nor the differences between it and massage. Life now finds me on a path to discover those differences through a deep investigation of the bodymind.

Today I have chosen to live, love and laugh on the big island of Hawaii. I love my life and the work I do here with horses and people. I feel so fortunate to have landed amongst such a tremendous group of fascinatingly spiritual beings. Out of the melting pot and into the glorious fire with health conscious eagerly awakening people. Lucky me.

Swimming with the dolphins in the ocean in January…there is nothing wrong with this! Having a fresh picked papaya for breakfast is simply divinity in action. It is so easy to have a positive outlook on life here. This is truly getting away to many people and the healing you can allow yourself on the Hawaiian Islands is immeasurable. If you are planning a visit, we can set up a session for you to get the most out of your stay on the Islands. If you live here, aloha and let’s set up an exploratory session to discover if perhaps an 11 session full body makeover, leaving you an inch taller and feeling ten years younger is for you!

Migration to island life hinged on my desire to lead a healthy lifestyle. Like many of us I know I should drink lots of water, use my body often, use my mind daily, and find a place of calm on a regular basis…meditate. Was my block any different than yours? We may never find out but now I have decided to embody all the healthy things I know to be good for me. We as humans have such inherent wisdom available to us. The collective consciousness as it were…as it is! I am so excited to have found my passion in the inarguably most gratifying profession of bodywork. You are what you focus on, what do you want to be?

I dream of sailing the world looking for perfect surf. I fantasize about making the world a better place one body at a time and helping us all find peace. True inner peace that helps the whole Universe. I intend to manifest a gorgeous studio on the big island with exotic flowers in abundance. Thank you for all your positive thoughts and all your Aloha!!! Mahalo nui loa --
