Dain's journey towards becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist is one of remarkable transformation and resilience. His deep understanding of the human body stems from nearly two decades of immersive fitness experience. He began in the world of CrossFit, earning his Level 2 coaching certification and guiding athletes of all levels. This foundation led him to explore diverse training disciplines – from the raw power of strongman and powerlifting (culminating in a world record deadlift of 689lbs) to the precision of Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, and even Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Beyond athletics, Dain served as a correctional officer for a maximum-security state prison, gaining firsthand experience in the demands of law enforcement and the importance of mental and physical resilience. He understands the unique challenges faced by individuals from all walks of life, from athletes to first responders.

Dain's personal transformation is perhaps his greatest testament. Having once weighed over 330lbs, he successfully shed over 140lbs, gaining invaluable insight into the challenges and triumphs of weight management. His commitment to holistic wellness deepened after experiencing significant injuries – including shoulder surgery and severe cervical/spinal trauma from motorcycle accidents and being hit by a truck – which required extensive rehabilitation. This journey ignited his passion for helping others heal and recover.

He further honed his skills working alongside chiropractors and physical therapists, deepening his understanding of injury rehabilitation and therapeutic techniques. Before returning to his Virginia roots, Dain shared his knowledge as a massage instructor at an Arizona college, where he empowered aspiring therapists with the tools and techniques to facilitate healing.

Dain's expertise extends beyond traditional massage. He incorporates holistic modalities such as energy work, yoga, breathwork, and meditation into his practice. He believes in treating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – to facilitate deep healing and lasting transformation.

If you're seeking relief from chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply looking to enhance your well-being, Dain offers a unique blend of therapeutic expertise and compassionate care. He will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your individual needs and goals.
