Jaya Jeff Sims

I practice & teach massage, movement, music & hypno-therapies. I specialize in chronic pain, special populations, trauma and poisoning. I've been practicing as a licensed massage therapist since 2002 and a certified massage school teacher since 2005. I started working in a clinical setting, addressing pain & injury in 2002.

I've studied with Fritz Smith, Tom Myers, Judith Aston, Skeeter Tichnour, Jean Pierre Barral, Bruno Chikly, Alaya Chikly, Bob McAtee, Jim Hackett, Bonnie Thompson, Jeff Murray James Waslaski, Gil Hedley and many more. I am a certified Yoga teacher through the International Sivananda Vendanta Yoga Centres.I have successfully completed Stott Pilates teacher training for all levels of Matwork, Reformer, the Cadillac Intensive, and Injuries & Special Populations.

Recently I completed two Stott Pilates Rehabilitation for Matwork & Reformer intensive workshops: (1) Spinal, Pelvic & Scapular Stabilization and (2) Peripheral Joint Stabilization. The Stott Pilates Rehabilitation program is specifically designed for medical professionals, including licensed physical or occupational therapists, chiropractors and doctors of sports medicine. With this training I offer a very clinical application of Pilates for injury prevention & to improve pre- and post-surgical outcomes. I understand my methods provide a bit of cognitive restructuring.

I also offer additional alternative bodywork approaches including craniosacral therapy, somatoemotional release, visceral manipulation, lymph drainage & other subtle methods that are indicated for a variety of conditions, including trauma & injury that often have an emotional component.I personally experienced severe trauma and poisoning from the Lahaina Fire of August 8, 2023. I’ve long studied trauma, but now know how it feels and what helps.

My mission is to support clients through life, reducing the risk of injury & need for surgery, speeding the recovery from injury & surgery and integrating neuromyofascial rehabilitation for deeper dysfunctional patterns. I am here to serve clients, to achieve their potential, & to maintain & restore their quality of life. Unnecessary pain & suffering are just that. I want to help.
