John Kowalski is a Licensed Massage Therapist and educator, honored with induction into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame in 2024. He began his journey in 1995 at the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics, earning a degree as a Natural Therapeutics Specialist and becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist.

Inspired by a commitment to holistic healing, John has spent his career bringing a wide range of modalities to diverse communities.

For the past eight years, John has served as an educator at Kūr Wellness Studios in Asbury Park, NJ, helping develop a distinctive menu of services that blends Ayurveda and Thai techniques with Western modalities. Specializing in Traditional Thai Massage, he has trained under several instructors in both the US and Thailand, and now teaches Traditional Thai Massage himself. He has also served as a judge at several state massage championships and the American Massage Championship at the World Massage Festival.

Outside of work, John enjoys connecting with the wellness community and sharing his passion for holistic health through teaching and mentorship.
