Community Highlights: Meet Jesse Mansfield

This year, I had the honor of being approached by local magazine Voyage LA for my first interview about Wellness 360. I speak about my personal story, struggles, and how I started on this path to healing. Enjoy!

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jesse Mansfield.

Hi Jesse, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My path to healing others began with healing myself. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, and when my parents divorced when I was ten years old and my only sibling when into the Navy, it was myself and my mother on our own. As a Native American from the Tohono O’odham Nation and African American woman, my mom had her own trauma from childhood and she struggled to give me (and herself) the care we needed during this time. I found a healthy outlet in sports through basketball, baseball and hockey, but I eventually found an unhealthy outlet as a teenager in the form of abusing stimulants to numb the pain. When I realized my truly healthy outlet of fitness was my passion, I began exploring yoga, meditation, ancient plant medicine, and it gave me the strength to get sober. Being so into fitness, I found massage and the healing arts crucial to my recovery, and I found so much joy in helping other athlete friends of mine through massage. I quickly pursued massage school, which lead to a completely transformed life of healing. In my ten years of experience, I have also studied advanced modalities like Myofascial Release, Trigger Point, Advanced Sports Massage, Reiki and beyond. My studies have taken me all over the world and have equipped me to work on all types of bodies from Olympic athletes, the elderly to desktop warriors and beyond. I now live in a lovely home in Cheviot Hills with my new wife and our rescue cats Wesley and Julius, and practice massage and healing arts in West LA at my private office.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “Calm seas never made a good sailor”. I truly feel my challenging past gives me compassion and appreciation for all the people I am honored to heal. Though I have been fortunate to attract a large clientele early in my career, the pandemic had my work and my wife’s, who is also in the healing arts, stopped completely dead in our tracks.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
True to its namesake, Wellness 360 is about looking at the whole person rather than simply a physical injury or concern. Every treatment is completely customized to each person because each person is different and has different challenges each time I see them. I combine all my education to best serve each individual. Not only do I aim for my clients to be free of any chronic pain conditions, I aim to teach them techniques to heal themselves as well. I think about it as helping someone become the greatest version of themselves. I specialize in myofascial release John F. Barnes Method and neuromuscular therapy which combined together can restore the body, mind and spirit. I think what sets me apart is the way I do an intake with my clients. I ask my clients simple yet important questions before we start our treatment, such as their sleep duration, water intake, stress levels, and diet. I want to truly see my clients not it be another quick doctor’s visit. I love being able to see and witness the transformation that happens within a visit.

One thing I would like to let people know is that it’s possible to have a life free from chronic pain conditions, you are destined to be happy.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
Take that leap of faith and trust in yourself. Things always look scary at first whether it’s going on a first date, interviewing for your dream job or doing something you’ve always wanted to try. But you’ll never know how it turns out unless you put yourself out there and try it out. If I could’ve talked to my past self, I would say “Don’t waste time stressing about things that are out of your control, it’s all going to be alright”.
