Jason Shivers Healing Arts

With my hands, I make more than a physical connection to the body. When I practice the art of massage, I work with the individual on my table to release blocked energy, opening the body's natural healing channels. With love and compassion, using the tools and techniques from many healing traditions, each session is a different and unique relaxing experience. I love that each body is different and has its own story to tell. I look forward to meeting you, learning from your story, and helping it to change.

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist AR License #8452. I went to school at Touching America Hot Spings School of Massage. I have also taken several extra courses in some specialty areas as part of my schooling including cupping massage. On the energy work side of things, I am a Reiki Master Teacher and see clients for sessions and teach students at The Academy of Holistic Arts here in downtown Little Rock.

$100 for a 60-minute massage and $135 for a 90-minute. Deep tissue is $20 extra. Travel to your location (home, office, event) is $50 within 20 miles of downtown Little Rock. 

I grew up thinking I wanted to be a chiropractor and was taught as a young teen how to do adjustments on friends and family. By the time I got through my first semester in college I went the route of Radio, TV, and Film major and spent the last 20 years spending my days as a professional photographer and filmmaker. Getting back to my passion for helping others heal themselves I went to night school to get my massage therapy license and have loved it ever since.

I have worked on all types of bodies. Younger, older, thinner, wider, achy, tense, stroke vicitms, fibromyalgia, disabled veterans and dogs too! Each person (and animal)has a body that tells a story and I like to listen and help them heal themselves. Part of that listening is making my clients feel safe and comfortable and addressing their problem areas.

I see a lot of clients with similar issues. Many people have one shoulder and side of the neck that is bothering them. Many have lower back issues that cause chronic pain. Using techniques and asking questions about your everyday life I can and have successfully helped people relieve their pain and suffering with as little as one session. My favorite stories are from clients that come in with significant pain in an area that is greatly reduced or even gone when they leave. It gives me great pleasure to help someone get back to being healthy, happy, and whole again.

Read reviews. Find someone that has experienced a session first hand (pun intended) and get their opinion. If something seems sketchy or out of place, trust your intuition! Personally, I would talk on the phone with whoever was going to massage me. Making a connection is important. That being said, I am listed as a Top Pro on Thumbtack.com and have excellent reviews on Google and Facebook for Academy of Holistic Arts where I practice both bodywork and energywork. 

You should feel comfortable and safe when you get your massage. How long have you been in pain or discomfort? Is there anything that makes it better or worse? Have you had any recent surgeries or have any bruises larger than a quarter? Do you have any allergies?
