Hi! I'm David.

licensed massage therapist // course creator // writer

I help massage therapists like you.

Do you want to love your work more?

Grow your craft further?

Take care of your body better?

I believe that you can help your clients and help yourself at the same time.

Tell me: what do you need right now?

I'm here.

You don't have to ache.

You don’t have to be bored, or tired, or frustrated. 

You don’t have to just go through the motions.

You already have good skills. Now let’s build on them, and rebuild your love for what you do. 

My courses offer innovative ways of seeing the body, and new tools for taking care of your client’s body—and your own body. We’ll use Tai Chi to help release teres minor; we’ll make your myofascial work more effective by using mindfulness. 

I don’t teach a particular style or modality. Instead, I teach foundational principles that will deepen and expand and revive your work, whether you do rolfing or reiki, whether you do Swedish or somatoemotional release or anything in between. 

Let me show you how to love your work again.

You owe it to your clients. You owe it to yourself. Come join me.

YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING. YOU KNOW THAT BETTER IS POSSIBLE.

With me, you've got options.

The next stage of your career is waiting. There are three paths before you.

Do you want to: learn now? learn live? learn more?

Let me show you how....

LIVE COURSES

I teach therapists just like you around the country, newbies and veterans and everyone in between. I create fun, challenging, useful CE courses.

Prenatal massage. Advanced techniques. Using your breath and your bodyweight. The list goes on.

Come back to the classroom; let's get better together.

ONLINE COURSES

Don’t settle for boring CEs. I create high quality, video-rich continuing education classes.

Start learning in five minutes, wherever you are, whenever you are ready.

Want to read some articles, or watch some videos, or listen to a podcast, or dive into an awesome book?

I can help you there, too.

What Your Fellow Therapists are Saying

This instructor was excellent. He presented the material very clearly. The suggestions demonstrated in the videos are practical and extremely helpful in helping to learn new techniques in preserving the thumbs of massage therapists everywhere!

Eileen Keegan, LMT

"Your ‘Pour Don't Push’ workshop was life-changing. The skills and the mindset you have provided me with are not merely going to benefit my clients, but they are also going to breathe new life into my work. You have helped bring me back to the basics and all of the things that lit my fire and inspired me at the start of my massage career. Also, your close hands-on guidance in how to adjust my body mechanics and posture are going to help me immensely with how I work from this day forward and help to keep me free from pain and strain."

Neil Fasolino, LMT

I've been fortunate to work with David as both a student and a client. As massage therapists, we all strive to reach a place in our work that transcends what we know about the body and touch. David has found access to this space through something so simple it should be obvious: the breath.

A massage under his careful guidance is a revelation. After just one session, I felt a deeper understanding of and connection to my body. His work with the breath is unique and really spectacular: grounding, informative and empowering. 

Both his continuing education workshops and his massages have influenced my work profoundly. Thank you, David!

Katie Parker, LMT

This is one of the best courses I’ve taken. Valuable information to remember to value to take care of ourselves. I’ve done massages 20 years and I love to be reminded to “return to the breath” and mindfully sink in because I know it’s been true in my practice. It’s so easy as a massage therapist to want to help too much and be hard on ourselves. Love this. Highly recommend!

Jenny Hamilton, LMT, BCTMB
