He has a gentle soul and powerful hands (especially with his light touch technique known as Cranio-sacral therapy). John along with his wife Debra own Aruba-J mind body wellness center in the Des Moines Square building on Marine View Drive. John offers Massage Therapy, Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation. Deb is a pillar of action in our community as well - hugely with the Farmer's Market and also with Destination Des Moines.
