About Livity Massage

Livity is the vital life energy that exists within and flows through all people and things. 

After traveling extensively for over 20 years within rural Jamaica, and learning about the concept of Livity from Rastafarians who practice it daily, I wanted to bring the belief that all things are connected through energy, to a unique massage therapy practice that helps my clients expand their Livity and find healing.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you strengthen your Livity!

I didn't fully appreciate the positive impact massage therapy could make in someone’s quality of life, until I experienced it for myself while working with a massage therapist to improve my own health for over a decade. It changed my life by both improving my physical health, and by making me more centered and grounded emotionally.

This realization, along with my natural gifts of intuition and empathy, inspired me to become a massage therapist myself, so I could create a healing environment to help others with their wellness needs.

In my practice, I skillfully apply several massage therapy modalities, having graduated with honors from Forsyth Technical Community College's Therapeutic Massage program in Spring 2019, after completing 800 hours of professional training. 

After passing the North Carolina Massage and Bodywork licensing exam in late 2019, I then acquired all necessary licenses and permits to own and operate a massage therapy business in North Carolina. 

I love to learn and hone my therapy skills, and because my philosophy is that massage therapy is truly a practice, I am always seeking to learn new techniques and grow my skills, to better help others improve their overall health and well-being.

I've been married for over 20 years to my amazing wife Megan, and together we enjoy in a variety of hobbies including travel, hiking, live music, and being dog parents! We are also serial entrepreneurs, founding Jah Works, a 501c3 nonprofit focused on sustainable community development in rural Jamaica and most recently, Higher Vibes Travel, a tourism company that helps people unplug and shift their perspective through unique travel experiences. I have also operated Smoot Photography as a professional photographer, since 2006.
