I’m David – and I’ve been massaging for a long time but massage was never supposed to be my career.  As a child, I wanted to be an engineer or mechanic. I didn’t think that I’d fall in love with maintaining the human body!

My interest in massage began as a child as my parents often massaged each other and they also massaged us, their children. The power of human touch has been at the centre of who I am since birth.  I developed an interest in bodywork as I progressed with my sport, and even more as I became a sports trainer.  I’ve rubbed a lot of legs and taped a lot of joints over the last 20 years.

But my massage career didn’t really start until 2015 when I sought a soul change after 16 years of driving a desk.  My background is in sports administration with an emphasis on strategic planning and policy.  Yep, all of the things that you probably find really boring, the things that hold a practice or any business together is what I thrive on.

When I did go back to study massage again, I had wonderful teachers who nurtured me to explore some special treatment styles and to find my own groove.  I thought that at graduation I’d be going to work with elite athletes, because that’s what you do right?  Instead I found a that I love supporting people to recover from very old injuries, working with jaw pain, whiplash and pelvic dysfunction.

And I love mentoring massage therapists who are new to the industry to explore their passion, their niche and to find their own unique style. I built my own business at one point having a team of therapists.  But seasons come and go and I’m again experimenting and exploring what my style might look like for the next season of my career.
