"The positive influence that therapeutic touch has on movement, pain, injuries, and athletic performance makes massage therapy a force multiplier for anyone wanting to be at their best. I can learn so much more by feeling a muscle than I can by observing."

Dustin's interest in massage therapy grew after receiving regular massages as part of his physical training. He immediately saw the tremendous benefits of massage to his personal training clients and athletes.

Dustin combines his passion for movement and musculoskeletal anatomy with massage therapy. He thoroughly enjoys helping people improve their moods while effectively reducing pain, tension, and movement restrictions. He also taught Kinesiology to massage therapy students at Washington Spa Academy in Bellevue, WA.

His techniques favor a combination of teachings from western and eastern medicines. Although he focuses his efforts on therapeutic, deep tissue, and sports massage, he also enjoys and understands the importance of incorporating more relaxation and spa-based treatments.

His fascination for the powers of touch grows as he studies other methods and modalities such as Thai massage, Kinesio taping, trigger point therapy, cupping, IASTM, reflexology, and more.

Dustin is a Navy Veteran, serving in the Maritime Security Squadron, having completed a deployment to Spain and West Africa in 2021. Knots, adhesions, and tight muscles fear him.
