Nathan Gilliam holds CA certification in massage therapy as well as national certification in personal training. He graduated with honors and a letter of excellence from the  NHI core program and has studied both sports medicine and physical therapy.  His passion for massage started while studying  sports medicine in junior college where the athletic trainer would use various forms of eastern modalities to treat pain and dysfunction in the athletes.  “The human body is such an amazing structure with so much to tell, all we have to do is figure out what its saying and we are able to help it.  It is an honor to have the opportunity to work as part of a team to further the massage therapy field.  Education is something that I am extremely passionate about and having the ability to share that passion is phenomenal!”
