My Story

​

Hi, I’m Amanda James. I was born and raised in DFW, Texas, and I’ve been a massage therapist since 2008. From the very first day of class, I knew this was my path—I graduated Summa Cum Laude and jumped right into helping people feel better. Over the years, I’ve worked in spas, gyms, and chiropractic offices, and I’ve trained in Austin, Texas, Centennial, Colorado, and even Costa Rica.

Traveling to Costa Rica was a turning point for me: I immersed myself in SMRT (Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique) for shoulders and hips and also studied Thai massage. Those experiences deepened my love for bodywork and gave me tools that I now use every day with my clients.

​

Clients Who Thrive Under My Care

Most of my clients live active or repetitive lifestyles—whether that’s working long hours at a desk, raising kids, training hard in sports, or simply keeping up with everyday life. They want to move comfortably and know they need self-care, but they’re not always sure what stretches, mobility drills, or habits will actually help at home.

That’s where I come in. My sessions aren’t just about temporary relief—I want you to leave feeling better and knowing how to keep that progress going.

​

How I Work

Every session starts with listening—to you and to your body. Hands-on work helps me find what’s tight (hypertonic) or underactive (hypotonic) and shows me which kinetic chains need attention. From there, I blend the right techniques—whether it’s SMRT, lymphatic massage, prenatal care, cupping, Ashiatsu, or any of the 10+ other modalities I’ve trained in—to give you exactly what your body needs that day.

My sessions also build on each other, like chapters in a book. That’s why I offer packages—because frequency not only makes sessions more affordable, it helps create lasting results.

​

Why SMRT?

Of all the methods I’ve studied, SMRT is my favorite and the foundation of my practice. It uses gentle, moderate pressure holds for 25–40 seconds, allowing your body to release tension naturally. I’ve found it gives the best, longest-lasting results without the soreness people often expect from deep tissue work.

​

What I Value

At Renewed Kinetics, I want everyone to feel welcome, respected, and cared for. I know consistent bodywork is a big investment, so I’ve designed a tiered pricing system to make sessions more accessible while rewarding loyalty. To me, it’s about creating fairness and giving more people the chance to keep up with their self-care.

​

My Promise to You

My goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain—and to make sure you walk away with the confidence that your body is capable of more than you think. You can trust that the first session of my day receives the same care and quality as the very last—because every client deserves my best, every time.
