About Us

Back to Basics
Why did I choose that name?
The "Back" part has two meanings the physical 'back', the second is return or revisit something one saw or enjoyed previously. The "to" is just a connector, a means to bring two things or thoughts together. The final part, "Basics" is how one breaks down the whole in to a basic principle, maybe a simpler way of understanding, making it easier to see what should be obvious. As a whole I wanted clients and potential clients to make a connection between what I have to offer and that of their core self.

Why is the name so important? Why is any name important? Just as I identify myself as Michael Jamison, one begins to get an impression of me by what they experience. As William Shakespeare's quote from "Romeo and Juliet" "What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet", we begin to know that we need to identify a being or an object by a name in order to be understood and decide it's value.

My training & Work Experience Although I never finished Certification; I practiced a non-invasive emotional release work called Holographic Repatterning for several years prior to learning massage. I graduated from Oklahoma Health Academy in '03. The program consisted of 780 hours of study and internship. I interned with a local chiropractor working in the building where I work right now. After working a short time as a therapist in Tulsa, I moved back to Kansas.

While in Kansas, I worked at a salon and spa, then went on to open my own massage business. My client base in Kansas was about half men and half women, with the median age being 47. After having some difficulty building a large enough client base I decided to come back to Tulsa. I have had quite a lot more success here in Tulsa, where the majority of my clients have been men. The youngest client being 14, to the mature age of 70.

I can now add EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniqes to the healing modalities that I offer. I have completed my training and am now taking the exams for Certification. Like Holographic Repattering, EFT is an energy therapy. All is takes is 15 - 30 minutes to find out if EFT is going to work for you. Sometimes profound realization and change occurs. NOTE: I was able to loose 14 pounds in four weeks using EFT.

About Me, on a personal level To begin with I was born September 2nd 1969 in Longmont, Colorado. I am 38 years old and have two sons from a previous marriage. My son's names are Tambour and Ian. I have a lot of experience taking care of others as the oldest of five children, two boys, three girls. I am recently divorced, and not in a hurry to re-marry; I would like to, in due time.

As I was finishing my schooling I found out I was now faced with the challenge of cancer. I began doing an alternative treatment, called Black Salve. I got remarried and moved back to Kansas. I worked slowly at doing cancer treatments, and took breaks as my emotional state waned. My health has made an improvement and I continue to heal. My current health status does not impede me from doing massage; in fact I feel better when I do massage.


Things that have meaning for me I believe that massage becomes a catalyst for change in many of my clients, primarily due to the fact touch is lacking in our society as a whole. I enjoy talking to my clients and addressing their questions. We have the opportunity to learn from each other if we allow ourselves to.

As you view this web-site and visit with me, you will see that I have a wide interest in many subjects. People are my main interest; I want to see positive change in every person that I meet. I know that each person has to want to change, but I hope that I can make a difference and give the knowledge that makes them use their power to change.

Last fall I attended my 20 year High School Reunion. Wow, do we change. Some physically, others the way they act and view the world. I know for me; I am no longer that scared little kid, that worried what others thought. I had a great time at the reunion and I didn't concern myself with how retarded I must have looked to others, as I was out there on the dance floor. Nobody checked to see if I had an emergency alert bracelet on, so I guess my purpose was a success. :)

Sometimes I wish I could do stand-up, but just looking at me causes some people to laugh. :? My humor is very dry; I don't drink enough water.

I am also encouraging people to take stock in thier health. If you are interested in living young and being healthy you can look at My NSP or
