About Derek I’m a Certified Massage Therapist with over 15 years of hands-on experience, practicing since 2007. I’m honored to have built a loyal base of clients who see me weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly , depending on their therapeutic goals and recovery needs. Before transitioning full-time into massage therapy, I spent two decades working in medical case management and health counseling . That experience shaped how I approach bodywork — not just as a physical intervention, but as a tool for holistic healing and advocacy. I continue to use that background to refer clients to trusted yoga instructors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, and medical providers when appropriate. Today, I practice out of a professional office space at: Renew Sports Massage and Holistic Health 201 6th Street SE, Suite 150 Minneapolis, MN 55414 I believe that collaborative care is essential. With your consent, I’ll gladly work with your medical team to ensure that your care plan is coordinated, safe, and effective — always within the scope of a certified massage therapist. Whether you’re seeking Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, or Therapeutic work , we’ll partner together to help you move better, feel stronger, and reach your wellness goals.
