Hello, I’m Dakota Gonzalez, a licensed massage therapist with over a decade of experience helping clients find relief and resilience through tailored bodywork. My practice focuses on both hands-on therapy and empowering education, guiding clients and the public to understand the essential role fascia plays in our overall health.

I am a proud member of the Fascia Research Society and the International Alliance for Healthcare Providers, currently pursuing a BA in Biology with a concentration in human movement. As part of my commitment to advanced care, I’m working towards certification in Craniosacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release through the Upledger Institute, where I am also a registered teaching assistant.

My approach is deeply informed by the latest fascia research, and I continuously pursue advanced training to create an environment where clients experience lasting relief and a profound connection to their own healing processes.

Outside of my therapeutic work, I enjoy expressing my love for life through music and gardening.

It would be a true honor to work with you!

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Coaching services

by Rosey on Mar 04
Dakota is absolutely fabulous. His skills are a level (or three!) above. The way he weaves together his systematic and scientific knowledge of the body with his deep intuition and sensitive touch is powerful. I've been seeing him monthly for the past three months and intend to continue this ritual for the foreseeable future. I'm very grateful to have Dakota as a resource and refer him to friends and clients without hesitation.

Dakota is a skilled healer and a great person to be around. I went in for a 30 minute session to help deal with some wrist pain that has been plaguing me for months, and felt immediate relief when it was done. My wrists still feel way better than they did, a month later, and I haven’t changed anything about how i use them. I believe Dakota’s style of massage can bring serious and long lasting relief to any chronic or acute pain. It’s worth every penny and more. Will definitely be going back to address back pain I’ve had for years and anything else that comes up that affects my functionality and mobility.

Dakota is the most experienced massage therapist I have ever worked with (decades long massage history) and he’s by far the best. He listens to your body and works it out.
