- Learn more about our roots and how David transitioned from a corporate job to become a massage therapist…all with the love and support of his parents.
“I can’t thank my parents enough for their support and guidance along the way. Transitioning from being a corporate banker, then dabbling in a number of small entrepreneurial projects before landing in massage therapy school must have been challenging for them to witness. They were never judgemental or showed any disappointment in what could have been looked at as a “step backwards” from college. They allowed me to find my way and ultimately be happy in my career choice.”

“When I was at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy, I dove deeply into the study of Sports Massage, Anatomy, Orthopedic Massage and Injury Rehab treatments. All I wanted to do was work with athletes.”
“To succeed in the medical field, you have to get results and to be open to new information. I’ve studied with a lot of different types of practitioners over the years, because we all view the body slightly differently. And I believe that learning to assimilate information and apply it to numerous techniques gets much better results than simply following the training manual exactly. Applying the new information to what you’ve learned previously allows for you to navigate the multitude of modalities which claim to be the “holy grail” of healing. We all have something valuable to offer and often, there are many ways to help someone heal.”
