James Baylis ( Owner )
My name is James, co-owner of Las Vegas Sports Massage, LLC. Known as "The James Of All Trades," I bring a diverse range of skills and experiences to my profession. In addition to being a massage therapist, I am also a former flying trapeze instructor, singer, actor, dancer, musician, composer, math tutor, rock climber, athlete, and, most importantly, husband and father.
In 2015, I graduated from the prestigious Swedish Institute: College Of Health Sciences in New York City, renowned as one of the top massage schools in the country. Shortly thereafter, my family and I made the decision to relocate to Las Vegas, where we established our practice. In 2020, I had the opportunity to acquire Las Vegas Sports Massage from a highly respected therapist who had moved out of state. Since then, we have rebranded and are now focused on expanding further under the Las Vegas Sports Massage umbrella, emphasizing the importance of massage as a necessity, not just a luxury.
As an athlete myself, I specialize in various massage techniques, including sports massage, deep tissue, medical, prenatal, cupping, stretching, and scraping, among others. Every massage I provide is customized to meet the unique needs of each client, a principle that extends to all the therapists we work with. If you have any specific requests or preferences, please don't hesitate to let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Rebecca Manicchia (Las Vegas/Mobile)
Hello,
My name is Rebecca and I graduated from the Florida School of Massage in 2018. Throughout my massage career, I have had the opportunity to travel and work in various locations such as the Big Island of Hawai'i, St. Pete, Florida, Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Now, I have decided to settle down and establish myself here in Las Vegas.
My massage style is influenced by a combination of techniques including Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi, Myofascial Ashiatsu, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Polarity Energy work. I find great satisfaction in the therapeutic aspect of massage and enjoy working with clients over time to track their progress in terms of mobility, pain management, and overall well-being.
Outside of work, I have a passion for reading and spending quality time with my cat, Mercury. I also enjoy going hiking and dancing as a way to unwind and stay active.
Thank you for considering my services. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and provide you with a rejuvenating massage experience.

Shannon Yee ( Mobile )
I’m Shannon Yee. I graduated from the Institute of Therapeutic Massage and Wellness in Davenport, IA in 2011.
Before becoming a licensed massage therapist, I danced professionally in ballet companies throughout the country. While dancing, massage helped me recover from soreness and injuries and increased my range of motion. I attribute massage to the longevity of my ballet career.
In 2016, I graduated from Trufusion’s 200-hour yoga teacher training in Las Vegas and taught private and group classes. I incorporate my knowledge of movement and understanding of body mechanics to optimize each treatment.
My specialty is making each massage fit your needs and goals. Some of my modalities offered are deep tissue, prenatal and lymphatic.
