James Echols is a Missouri-licensed massage therapist who has practiced since 2020. He completed his training at Hands On Approach Massage School and Day Spa in Dallas and has held massage licenses in Texas, California, and Missouri.
His approach is intuitive, attentive, and client-led. James considers what you communicate while also paying close attention throughout the massage. This allows him to make thoughtful adjustments to pressure, pace, and focus while staying within your preferences.
James does not believe in providing the exact same massage every time. Each person offers a different starting point, and even returning clients may want or benefit from something different from one appointment to the next. The massage is tailored to the person on the table and what feels appropriate in that moment.
What remains consistent is the quality of the massage and the care, presence, and close attention to detail James brings to every appointment.
Comfort, communication, and mutual respect.
Aura provides professional, licensed massage therapy only. Informed consent and appropriate draping are maintained throughout every appointment, and you are always encouraged to communicate about pressure, temperature, positioning, conversation, or any other aspect of your comfort.
Either you or James may pause, adjust, or end the session at any time. Inappropriate language or conduct will result in the immediate end of the appointment without a refund.
