Jonathan in Portland (Portland Maine), ME + Portsmouth, Hampton New Hampshire, USA

Massage Therapist

As a massage therapist, Jonathan has developed a unique type of treatment known as Range of Motion Myofascial Release by drawing on multiple massage styles and healing modalities. Using acute listening skills honed through craniosacral therapy and Barnes-style myofascial technique, coupled with passive range of motion, Chinese tuina massage and an ever-growing understanding of the physical and energetic landscape of the body, he is able to facilitate a broad depth of healing during each session.

As an acupuncturist, Jonathan uses associated treatment techniques (needles, cupping, guasha, tuina massage, Chinese herbal formulation and dietetics, qigong) as tools to help guide his clients towards a healthy state of balance, both internally and externally. Along with being an internal medicine practitioner, he specializes in sports and orthopedic pain relief. Jonathan earned an associate degree in Massage Therapies from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York, Master of Science degrees in both Oriental Medicine and Nutrition from National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR, and holds the Diplomate of Oriental Medicine licensure through the NCCAOM.

Jonathan also earned an undergraduate music degree in Vocal Performance and still enjoys a fruitful professional singing career. He is a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist in various musical endeavors.

He is also an avid lover of all things and activities outdoors, especially being in water, riding bikes, the sound and smell of mountain streams, and endless snowfalls. Jonathan is a proud husband and father and lives in Maine with his beautiful family.

“Lars (Stockholm Dotbot) took care of the band-members and left all in awe! He provided a table, towels etc which made it very easy to work with. Very on point and definitely made for an amazing show at night - thank you again! Romi (Prague Dotbot) came by, arrived early, was very well prepped (had her own table, scented candles, oils, towels) and had the brightest smile we'd seen in days! She took care of the band-members who all were left amazed and startled by her touch ;) Thanks Romana, def will hit you up next time round. Martijn Tour Manager - Ben Howard”
