Meet Benny Saint James

A wild healer with a grounded soul.

Benny is a somatic relaxation practitioner that uses massage therapy, yoga, sound

therapy, and ceremony to help others uncover a life they love.

I believe that the individual holds an innate wisdom in their body and soul to healing and wholeness. My work is to help you come home to yourself by listening, deeply and reverently, to the language of your tissues, your breath, your energy, and your inner wisdom. I see healing as a collaboration with the sacred intelligence that already exists within you, and every session I offer is a prayer in motion to awaken what’s been waiting to be uncovered.

My Journey

I began the my journey with the body at six years old, when I fell in love with movement through dance. Dance was my first teacher in physiology, anatomy, and kinesiology, and it laid the foundation for everything I offer now. After 10 years of extensive training, I spent another ten years as a professional dancer performing across the globe. That career gave me something most practitioners spend a lifetime trying to develop: an intimate, firsthand understanding of the human body, how it moves, how it holds, how it breaks , and how it recovers. From my own body’s needs, I began to explore self-care like yoga, massage, and holistics. Once that chapter closed in my late 20’s, the foundation it built didn't go anywhere, it became the basis for everything I do now. A new calling emerged which is to help others reconnect to their own living body as a sacred ecosystem to tend to with care and intention.

My Training & Experience

Over the last 18 years, I've developed a practice grounded in serious, wide-ranging training. My formal massage education took place at one of Colorado's most comprehensive massage training programs, where I trained in over fifteen modalities including deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, cupping, hot stone, athletic, pre/post-natal, and lymphatic drainage. Alongside that I've worked as a yoga therapist trained in India as well as a Reiki Master and energy worker, building an integrated approach of the body-mind-spirit that utilizes bodywork, movement, sound therapy, and energy medicine. Through the last 18 years, I’ve built a practice that is truly unique in the way that it disrupts the health industry by breaking down the many barriers it has created and puts choice back in the hands of the individual. 

Recent Work

Through 2025 and the beginning of 2026, my work has continued to evolve and took me somewhere I didn't expect, deep into the jungles of Central America. I spent time in direct study with wisdom keepers of Central American healing modalities, learning traditional Mesoamerican healing techniques through hands-on exchange and reciprocal relationship. I learned to practice these traditions with deep respect for where they come from and now offer them through my own lens, in a way that is accessible and genuinely effective for the people I work with. This work, including limpia (energy clearing), spirit bathing, rainforest herbs, and sobada (traditional abdominal massage) is now part of what's available for clients in every session.

My most recent trip to the Guatemalan jungle in the spring of 2026, deepened my relationship with the plant medicine of cacao (pure non-industrialized chocolate). I source this medicine directly from small community owned agroforest food farms in Guatemala, and offer this medicine with integrity through the relationships I’ve built with the farming families and women's collectives behind the work. I carry it as a product, offer kitchen sessions, and facilitate ceremonies both in person and online because I believe in its incredible and numerous healing properties.

Work With Me

What all of this adds up to is something genuinely rare, the next iteration of my signature two-hour session, The Prime 2.0. This session brings together massage, yoga, sound therapy, and ceremony in one unified comprehensive experience. You don't have to choose between modalities or explain your whole history to someone who only knows one thing. You get to work with me, a practitioner who has spent decades studying the body from every angle, who has sat with wisdom keepers around the world, who continually seeks out wisdom directly from its sources, and who has built a practice around one intention: helping you feel restored at a primal level that allows you to remember your wholeness.
