Riley James - Mobile Massage Therapist
Bookings available online
Rileyjamesmmt.com Riley has been a massage therapist for 17 years, having trained at Everest Institute in Georgia, where he grew up.
Why did he come to where the air hurts his face? Great question! Minnesota, specifically the Twin Cities, is where Riley found his place in the Queer and Trans communities, and also found chosen family in the fellow therapists he has worked with over the years since he has been here. He brings experience in many forms of deep tissue massage, but most passionately works in Myofascial Release to provide a little extra room for minds, bodies, and hearts to rest and recover. Riley believes in the power of giving yourself a moment to breathe deeply and let another help you soften to your bodily needs. He works hard to remain trauma informed in his work and wants to make the day a bit easier with fully customizable set and setting for your work together. Go ahead and schedule yourself an hour or so and feel free to reach out directly with any questions, concerns, or suggestions!

Wednesday Wonderings
Who are you?
Tell me something about who you are or how you move in the world.
I’m Riley. 20 years into this work and one thing is for sure: I am not someone who can work a traditional 40 hour week and feel fulfilled, so I’ve had I get creative with how I reach into my community to make a difference.
One of my favorite things about being a massage therapist is the times when I get to do trade/barter! Money isn’t always there for everyone, but value sure is, so let me know what you have bartered or traded in the past! Maybe there’s a working partnership in our future 😎

Happy Monday, friends and foes! Twin Cities Pride is this coming weekend, and you know you gotta hydrate and protect from the sun. What else are you doing to prepare for a fun and potentially overwhelming weekend??
We (my wife and I) will be out in the park to meet up with a friend for some birthday shenanigans and then we’re going to go visit with a friend we’ve not gotten much time with since surgery!
STAY SAFE AND ALSO PROTECT Q***R KIDS 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Hey friends! We wanted to share a little update on Riley's recovery.
On March 30, 2026, Riley had emergency back surgery. Everything went well, but during recovery he experienced a spinal fluid leak, which meant he needed a second surgery. Thankfully, on May 27, 2026, the repair surgery went quickly, and his surgeon was very happy with how everything looked.
Riley is feeling hopeful and encouraged by the progress.
He's definitely getting the itch to get back to doing what he loves and seeing both new and familiar faces again. If everything continues to go as planned, he'll be back to taking care of his community during the second week of July!
📅 The books will reopen on June 30, 2026.

Thank you all for your patience, kind messages, donations, meals, and support over these past few months. Recovery hasn't exactly gone according to plan, but we're so grateful to finally be on the other side of things. Your generosity and encouragement have meant the world to us, and Riley can't wait to get back to helping people and reconnecting with all of you. ❤️

Hello new friends and old!! Riley will be down from back surgery starting 3/30/2026 and out until mid May to early June. This is a very unexpected surgery and Riley needs all of the help he can get. Please consider donating to his fundraiser or message for Venmo if easier. Thank you all for understanding and he WILL be back (lol) as soon as possible. He already misses everyone.

TUESDAY 23rd DECEMBER
Today isn’t about doing more.
It’s about making space.
Clearing what’s built up.. in rooms, in routines, in yourself.. without forcing it, without drama.

Are you feeling stuck and heavy? It might be a little too much of a coincidence, but science roots it in the movements of the Moon, the controller of all tides, internal and external!
Take a look at what has me feeling WAY more grounded, it’s a long video, but I rest gently held by the guided nature of this work.
We have to do this together. Let’s breathe and talk to our bodies lovingly today. I will if you will. 🥰
I have a bodywork appointment today! What are you doing to get more grounded today, friends? Tell me in the comments so I can affirm you!!! 😁
