Jake’s path into this work began nearly two decades ago through a deep commitment to self-inquiry, healing, and exploration. What started as a personal journey evolved into a lifelong devotion to understanding the body, the mind, and the deeper layers of human experience.

Over the years, he has traveled extensively around the world studying and practicing in places such as Thailand, Bali, the Philippines, Peru, Costa Rica, Egypt, and Guatemala. Along the way, he has worked with master teachers, trained in multiple disciplines, explored plant medicine, participated in men’s leadership work, and immersed himself in a wide range of healing traditions.

A significant part of Jake’s training comes from his time in Thailand, where he spent three consecutive years studying traditional Thai massage and Ayurvedic Thai bodywork. He also trained in Esalen-style massage bodywork in Big Sur at Esalen Institute, further deepening his understanding of touch as a pathway to presence, release, and connection.

His massage bodywork is intuitive and energy-based blending touch, breath, and awareness to help people release tension, regulate their nervous system, and reconnect with themselves on a deeper level.

This same philosophy flows through all of his work, whether he is guiding a class, working one-on-one, or leading an immersive experience.

Throughout his career, Jake has taught thousands of classes, supported and assisted in yoga teacher trainings, and led workshops, events, and retreats around the world.

He has also collaborated with leading wellness and fitness brands including Tonal, Equinox, Lululemon, Reebok, and Xbox Fitness, creating programs and experiences that have reached people globally.

At the core of Jake’s work is embodiment. He believes that the most powerful way to guide others is not through theory, but through lived experience. Through his own ongoing practice of yoga, breathwork, meditation, bodywork, and deep inner work he continues to refine his ability to hold space with presence, awareness, and authenticity.

He doesn’t position himself above others, he walks beside them.

Because ultimately, this work isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about returning to what’s already there.
