Lynda Hopkins - Owner (Boise)
John
My name is John and I am originally from Texas. I grew up outside of the Houston area and moved to Idaho in Summer 2018. I have lived in a couple of different countries and have traveled around much of the world as a backpacker and am fluent in Spanish.
I come from a Personal Training background and am a Certified NASM trainer. I have been involved with fitness training since 2015. I have been in the Massage Therapy field since 2017 and have a specialty certification in Sports Massage as well as IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) . My objective is to bring about positive change and address problem areas by working with the tissues/body/client. My style of work can be described as slow/calming, comprehensive, therapeutic, with medium to deep pressure but each session is customized to the client. I also utilize cupping, stones, blades/scrapers, and other tools if needed.
When not providing bodywork, you can often find me in nature hiking, backpacking, or soaking in hot springs. I also practice Qi Gong, Bikram Yoga, breathwork, and Taekwondo. I have discovered a passion for teaching massage to others and am currently a Massage Therapy Instructor.
