A better way of living with massage therapy!
I was drawn to massage therapy due in part to a almost natural ability I had to ease family members pains in part through massaging the neck or shoulders. This art I have more than fine tuned. I completed an associates of applied science in massage therapy from Rasmussen college in 2011. I went straight to work from their building my practice. My techniques are a combination of stretching, relaxation, deep tissue, myofascial work, Lomi Lomi massage and various other soft tissue work. I tailor... more

Notable Experiences
Bodywork
Lomi Lomi
I created an intensive 5 day training in the ancient art of Lomi Lomi under the training of Kumu Gloria Coppola. This broadened my eyes to the sacredness of the mind body connection and I incorporate it in some aspect into every session.
Myofascial Release
I completed the 20 hr course on techniques for the hip and pelvis expanding into the concepts as taught by John Barnes. His concepts and work are very profound and have added another level of knowledge to my work. On the subtle techniques that can truly change structures.
Mattes Method AIS
This course helped me expand my knowledge of stretching and the mechanics of it all. It provided me with adaptable ways to reach muscles deep within the body through with minimal discomfort through isolating and actively moving them through different ranges of motion.

Therapeutic Massage
As a CrossFit enthusiast, I've come to realize that sport massage therapy is just as important as time at the gym. Derrick has great technique and incorporates valuable assisted stretching. If you're looking for true RESULTS, I highly recommend him... If you're looking for some uber-plush atmosphere with a spa like ambiance, this may not be the place for you. Very clean... very effective... great tiered discount program.

Therapeutic Massage
Derrick has incredible skills in being able to locate and address areas of inflammation in my body merely through touch. I have been to numerous MTs over the years but none can compare to his skills and that is why I have been a client of his for over 4 1/2 years and will continue to seek his services weekly. I have referred him to several of my friends and they all agree.

Therapeutic Massage
Derrick has been my massage therapist for a number of years. I see him weekly. This particular appointment was in addition to my routine weekly session. I highly recommend Derrick if you are interested in receiving a therapeutic massage. Derrick is always able to address particular issues I am having often times without my having to point them out.
