Purpose
I used to live in my head, trying to think my way to peace while my body held all the tension.
Learning to feel changed everything—and now I help others to the same.
Meet Josh
Josh Thomas
Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist #16694
Welcome. I'm really glad you're here.
When I first opened my practice in North Raleigh, I believed bodywork needed to be forceful to be effective. Over the years, I’ve learned that meaningful, lasting change often comes through gentler, more responsive approaches.
My path has involved a lot of unlearning, doing my own inner work, and returning to what feels simple, steady, and genuinely supportive. That’s the foundation of LightSource Healing Arts.
Outside of work, I’m a husband and dad. Life with my wife and kids keeps me grounded and reminds me daily that healing begins in safety, connection, and presence.
Focus
At LightSource Healing Arts, the focus is on providing a safe, accepting space for transformative healing.
Practitioners serve as facilitators, holding space to support calm, clarity, and a deeper connection between physical ease and inner well-being.
Craniosacral Therapy and gentle bodywork are integrated to support the needs of the body, mind, and spirit.
Journey
I began my bodywork training in 2013, and over time my approach naturally shifted from deep-pressure techniques to gentler, nervous-system-focused methods.
That evolution led to the creation of LightSource Healing Arts in 2024.
Today, my work is steady, attentive, and centered on helping people feel grounded, supported, and more at home in their bodies.
“I’ve had the strongest reemergence of normal feeling in my left leg than I’ve ever had before! Thank you, Josh!”
