To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. -Buddha

For 10+ years Duane worked along side Dave Salo and the USC swim team until 2020 as their elite sports massage therapist for PAC-12’s, NCAA’s and National’s as well as Olympic Trials. He is also trained in many bodywork disciplines for most of which are geared towards injury treatment and recovery.

For 10+ years Duane worked along side Dave Salo and the USC swim team until 2020 as their elite sports massage therapist for PAC-12’s, NCAA’s and National’s as well as Olympic Trials. He is also trained in many bodywork disciplines for most of which are geared towards injury treatment and recovery. After years of his chosen career path surrounding him with trauma Duane began to feel a shift, it felt like things weren't working, that this career path was less about healing than he wished for. In 2005 he signed up for a medical massage course that would forever change his trajectory. A trajectory more aligned with healing and recovery. Duane is a Mentor, a Coach, and a Bodyworker. Duane has been a healer for most of his life, going as far back as driving ambulances in California and as an Emergency Department Technician in Tacoma WA, His desire to heal and help others find their way is core to who he is. He has found that customizing techniques and treatments to each client is what is most effective and important. Duane has been in private practice in Tacoma since 2009.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Coaching services

by Anonymous on Jun 06
Duane has a way of “zeroing-in” on the cause of pain. I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of relief.

Duane listens and is very knowledgeable about the body anatomy and how it works. He doesn't just massage but understands how the muscles, ligaments and tendons work and thoroughly explains what he is doing. Con: there are stairs to navigate if you have trouble walking.

10/10 my body feels so much better and is continuing to unwind and move back into proper place after MLT and massage from Duane. Thank you so much. Highly recommend

Duane took time to connect and listen and then explained how wanted to approach my health needs. He also checked in a few times to see how the pressure was

Excellent session as usual! Duane is a master mechanic. His body work is top notch. Our discussions are always enlightening. Duane is just cool guy! I highly recommend him

If you want some of the best bodywork you can conceptualize. LOOK NO FURTHER. Duane does everything to highest capacity. He wants to make sure you feel better from top to bottom. If you have questions about how and why you’re in pain he’ll get you going in the right direction. He wants you to be happy and healthy. So you can attack your goals in every aspect of life pain free.

When he shares, (and what he shares is interesting) he often stops working. Common among body workers. Either don't share or talk and work at the same time.
by Matilda on Jan 26
Duane was very attentive during my intake and gathered a lot of information regarding my ailments, and during the treatment he offered information regarding his technique.

Duane is the real deal!
by Christine on Jul 08
Duane's depth and breadth of experience and skill in therapeutic massage, combined with honed listening skill and focused presence, are why I highly highly recommend! I have been through two hip surgeries over the course of a year due to a freak accident, and searching for effective ways to aid and assist full recovery to my previously very high level of physical strengh, stamina and agility. Im very glad I am working with this wonderful human being to achieve my goals!
