My Story
The Body Whisperer
Hello, my name is King James, also known as The Body Whisperer. I am a native of Raleigh, NC, born and raised by the beautiful Tempie HD and James D. Spivey Sr. I am the eldest of three, with two sweet little sisters, Courtney and Chasity.
Life shaped me early. My father passed away when I was just three years old, leaving my mother and my Grandma L to raise me. As a kid, I often felt lost searching, seeking, looking for something outside of myself, not realizing that the answers were always within. I struggled with self-esteem, confidence, and understanding my own worth. Love, relationships, and friendships felt like puzzles I couldn’t quite solve.
Yet, through it all, my mother and grandmother instilled in me values of love, resilience, and purpose. They nurtured my passion for the culinary arts, which led me to attend culinary school. But life had other plans. When my mother was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I felt a deep calling to help her. I considered nursing, becoming a doctor, or massage therapy—and I chose massage, a decision that changed my life forever. After attending Gwinnett College, formerly The Medical Arts School in Raleigh, my path as a healer began. Now, 15 years later, I am still here—still healing, still growing, still evolving.
The Birth of A New U Healing
A New U Healing started as a massage service for relaxation and pain relief but grew into something much deeper. My own life’s journey—through self-doubt, heartbreak, and rebirth—taught me that true healing is more than physical. It is emotional, mental, and spiritual.
This company is built on the foundation of self-worth, self-improvement, and self-love. It was born from the ashes of a toxic past with myself where I mentally, emotionally, and spiritually died—only to rise again like a phoenix. I made the choice to love myself, value myself, and honor the being that I am. Now, I bring that same passion and deep, unconditional love into every session I offer.
My Unique Approach to Healing
I do more than massage therapy—I create transformational experiences that nurture your entire being. My approach is rooted in the belief that love is the most powerful force in healing.
"Let all that you do be done in love." — 1 Corinthians 16:14
When we approach healing with love, intention, and presence, we create space for true transformation. Love is at the core of everything I do, from the energy I bring to each session to the safe and sacred space I provide for my clients. My services include:
✔️ Therapeutic Bodywork – A fusion of techniques tailored to your specific needs for relaxation, pain relief, and energy alignment.
✔️ Energy Healing (Reiki & IET) – Balancing the mind, body, and spirit by removing energetic blockages.
✔️ Self-Love & Empowerment Coaching – Helping you reconnect with your true essence through guided self-care practices.
✔️ Trauma-Informed Massage & Inner Child Healing – A safe space for emotional release, acceptance, and deep healing.
"Love thy neighbor as thyself." — Mark 12:31
True healing happens when we learn to love ourselves deeply. Just as we must extend care, kindness, and compassion to others, we must first offer that same love to ourselves. In every session, my goal is to help you reconnect with that love—to guide you toward self-acceptance, self-care, and inner peace.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." — Luke 6:31
Healing is not just about the body—it is about how we treat ourselves, how we treat others, and how we allow love to flow through us. When we approach healing with love, we set a foundation for lasting peace, balance, and transformation.
Through healing touch, energy work, and self-care coaching, I create a space for you to release, be free, and receive love—unconditionally. My mission is to guide you back to yourself and help you realign with what truly matters—self, love, unity, and balance.
More Love, More Healing, More You
Beyond my business, my mission is to spread love—starting with self-love/agape. I believe that when we take care of ourselves, we show up better for the people around us. Love isn’t just an emotion; it’s an energy we cultivate through our thoughts, actions, and daily choices. Whether it’s through healing touch, mindful self-care, or simply sharing positive energy, my work is about creating a ripple effect of love, peace, and renewal.
Love is at the core of A New U Healing—not just love for others, but love for self, love for life, and love for healing. Love is a powerful force that can transform pain into peace, chaos into clarity, and separation into unity.
The Bible tells us to love like Jesus, and it also reveals how much God loves us. Love is not one-dimensional; it comes in many forms, each serving a different purpose in our lives. The ancient Greeks identified eight types of love, each playing a role in our journey toward wholeness and healing:
💖 Eros – Romantic or passionate love, often seen in the early stages of relationships.
🤝 Philia – Affectionate love, the deep bonds of friendship and companionship.
🎭 Ludus – Playful love, flirtation, and fun without deep commitment.
🔥 Obsessive Love – A controlling or possessive form of love, rooted in insecurity.
💙 Philautia – Self-love, recognizing your worth and honoring your personal needs.
💍 Pragma – Enduring love, a mature, steady love that lasts through time.
👨👩👧 Storge – Familiar love, the deep connection between family members and those we hold dear.
🌍 Agape – Unconditional love, a selfless love that extends to all people.
At A New U Healing, I help clients reconnect with these different expressions of love—starting with philautia (self-love). Healing begins when we acknowledge our worth, care for ourselves deeply, and allow love to flow freely in and through us.
"Let all that you do be done in love." — 1 Corinthians 16:14
God’s love for us is boundless, and He calls us to love in the same way—fully, unconditionally, and without fear. By integrating these different forms of love into our lives, we build deeper connections, strengthen our faith, and create a world filled with more peace, healing, and harmony.
Every session is an opportunity to experience love in its purest form—through healing touch, compassionate energy, and the space to be fully seen, valued, and restored.
💙 Heal in love. Grow in love. Be in love.
