Doug is AMAZING!  



I've been seeing Doug fairly regularly for over two years now, and while in the meantime I have received massages from other practitioners, either when he was on vacation or I was out of town  -- they all pale in comparison to him.  



Doug is very calm, grounded , open, respectful and an all-around cool guy.  He begins every session by asking what you would like for him to focus on, and he will tailor the session to your specific needs, whether it is on a physical level (i.e. sore shoulders, tightness in the hips)  or an emotional/soul level (i.e. feeling stuck, in a grieving process) 



After a session with him, I feel completely  relaxed and rejuvenated. He is highly intuitive, which translates for me to mean that even if I am unaware of how or where I am holding tension, he will zone in on those spots.  He integrates various techniques seamlessly, and I particularly appreciate his blend of swedish and acupressure.

I go to see Doug when I have specific issues going on with my body or when I want a super sweet full body massage.  



One time I came to him with a "stuck shoulder" with sensations radiating down my arm.  Instantly, he knew exactly what to do and got excited about it because he knew exactly what to do!  He worked it from all angles and took his time to melt each muscle layer.  



He is patient, thoughtful, intuitive, and won't push you past your limits.  He makes you feel like a superstar and he has put a big smile on my face!  

Doug is a big massage nerd.  And that's what I look for in a therapist.  You should too.

I've had a few sessions with Doug thus far to help me recuperate from a sports injury.  I cannot say enough great things about his work!  Doug really took the time to listen to my symptoms and concerns.  His massage technique is truly exceptional.  After an hour with him, my muscles and joints are completely relaxed and pliable.  I feel thoroughly rejuvenated by the end of our session.  

Doug is extremely professional, punctual, and accommodating.  Massage appointments with him have been a great complement to physical therapy with my chiropractor, as well as my routines at home.  

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, skilled massage therapist with fantastic hands, schedule a session with Doug.  You won't be disappointed!
