About me
I’m James Fox, the founder of SilverFox Massage and Bodywork.
After a long and stressful corporate career I learned the importance of self-care and mindfulness in sustaining a healthy, happy life. Through receiving massage myself over the years I recognized the value of bodywork and started my journey to becoming a massage therapist, graduating from Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork in 2025.
I offer Holistic and Deep Tissue massage services from my home in Bath, the wonderful Yurt at Westbury-on-Trym Wildlife Park and, if desired, the comfort of your own home. I’ll also be hosting various therapeutic events throughout the year, so make sure you follow me on Instagram.
My Services

Holistic Massage
While Sports Massage has become popular in recent years, and has its place in remediating specific injuries, it’s often more painful and uncomfortable and clinical in nature. But what many of us benefit more from, is allowing our muscles to relax before being worked.
Imagine a bundle of elastic bands under tension. They’re solid and difficult to squeeze. Muscles are no different. If we remove tension, they return to their original length, allowing us to work into them more deeply if still needed, without much of the pain associated with Sports Massage.

Deep Tissue Massage
If your body is ready to receive it, Deep Tissue work can release locked fascia, undo knots and leave your body feeling like it’s been reset to where things should be.
It’s important to start with some relaxation work first, but if you really feel you prefer deeper work, we can carefully increase the depth and hold pressure for longer in key areas.
Typically we’ll have the massage table much lower, so I can carefully lean into you with more bodyweight, all the time controlling the pressure with the other hand on the table.

Healing Experiences
As I’ve curated unique locations, I realised that I could offer more than just simple massage services.
I’ll be offering couples massages with fellow therapists, sound therapies with musicians and percussionists, and unique one-off events and collaborations through the year.
If you offer a healing service that you think would complement my services I’d love you to get in touch.
Unique spaces
A well-considered massage space assists healing and relaxation. When you’re surrounded by a space that feels safe, where every detail has been considered, the body then knows that it can trigger para-sympathetic rest and repair process. This in turn helps your mental relaxation, your muscles to soften and, if you want, to drift into half-sleep - a state that massage seems to trigger in many. Not unconscious sleep, but semi-present.
I’m carefully curating massage locations that support and encourage healing, I hope you’ll visit one.
