REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Coaching, or Fitness services

David listened to the fact that I had fusion on L5-S1 in 2017. He was compassionate about my worries about a massage since it had been years since I had one. He used gentle as well as more intense techniques to give me as much pain relief as he could. I would highly recommend David!

David is by far the best massage therapist I’ve ever had. He is kind, courteous, extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled. I wish I lived closer as I would have weekly appointments, because in 2 sessions he was able to provide relief to a neck and hip issue that previous therapists couldn’t even identify over the last 5 years. I was impressed and so grateful. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars! Do yourself a favor, and book a session with David!!!!!!!!

Absolutely the best massage ever. I drive an hour to get to my appointment and it’s worth every minute.

This body worker is very knowledgeable and very skilled. His work is highly focused and I have very much appreciated the thoroughness of his work each appointment. He works deeply and intensely. If this is the kind of work that you prefer, then he is an excellent therapist. If you need a lighter touch, then just communicate. His workspace is very comfortable, calming, aesthetically pleasing and lends itself well in supporting the total experience.
