Demaris

Bodyworker

Demaris is originally from Louisiana and is a licensed massage therapist in the state of Arizona. His career and original licensing began in Gonzales, Louisiana, and he has also been licensed in Texas and California. Although bodywork is less prevalent in LA, Baton Rouge has one of the most prestigious massage schools in the country. 

From Demaris: "Our training included traditional styles, as well as deep dives into Asian bodywork, Rolfing, Reflexology, and more. My bodywork has led me to more subtle modalities and energy work. This includes Myofascial Release/Unwinding, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Reiki, Traditional Chinese Medicine (Qigong, 5 Elements Theory, Acupressure), Polarity Therapy, breathwork, and more." 

This foundation led to a self-healing process that’s still evolving. After mastering the previously mentioned techniques with excellent results with his clientele, Demaris added personal training to his repertoire. This suggests the importance of movement when treating the body.

As he incorporated the new concepts, he discovered Myoskeletal Alignment Technique and Myofascial Stretching. This is the heart of his current practice, which he dubbed Performance Enhancing Bodywork.

PEB is a combination of 5-7 modalities integrated into one holistically focused practice. Through this approach, he is able to reawaken the body’s original anatomically suggested posture and alignment. This awakens the dormant aspects of a person’s neurology. With PEB, he has found a way to achieve long-lasting results that extend beyond pain management, opening the door to overall enhanced performance throughout the body.
