He is also trained in many bodywork disciplines for most of which are geared towards injury treatment and recovery. After years of his chosen career path surrounding him with trauma Duane began to feel a shift, it felt like things weren't working, that this career path was less about healing than he wished for. In 2005 he signed up for a medical massage course that would forever change his trajectory. A trajectory more aligned with healing and recovery. Duane is a Mentor, a Coach, and a Bodyworker.
