Raised here in ND, primarily in Bismarck but fell in love with the wildflower filled prairies of his grandparent’s homestead outside McKenzie.

Traveling a long and winding road, his education and life has led through California, Texas, Arizona, and finally right back to North Dakota.

Lover of the element of Fire:  has walked on it, danced with it, juggled it, and even breathed it.

Raised here in ND, primarily in Bismarck but fell in love with the wildflower filled prairies of his grandparent’s homestead outside McKenzie.

Traveling a long and winding road, his education and life has led through California, Texas, Arizona, and finally right back to North Dakota.

Lover of the element of Fire:  has walked on it, danced with it, juggled it, and even breathed it.

Ian resides in a place of wordplay and laughter, yet is most at home when holding unconditionally safe space for clients and friends with bodywork.

A subtle face massage from a friend in 2000 opened the door to a new world of inner sensory awareness, engaging his journey into bodywork & the healing arts.  After many other tangents and intriguing paths, gratitude and honor engulf him at finding himself at One Massage.  “Right at ‘OM”.   

Come on by, why be a stranger when you could be family.


 

Favorite poem is by the ecstatic poet Hafiz:


 

First, the fish needs to say,  

“Something ain’t right 

about this 

camel ride —–  

And I’m feeling 

so   damn  thirsty”

It's hard to find a good LMT so I went in very leary. After meeting with Ian for the first time I booked again right away and will continue to do so for the future

I had an absolutely amazing massage experience with Ian! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The therapist was incredibly skilled, intuitive, and attentive to my needs, tailoring the session for what I needed. I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. If you're looking for a place that truly understands the body and provides top-notch care look no further.
