Dakota graduated from the North Carolina School of Advanced Bodywork in 2021, with advanced training in anatomy, neuromuscular work, and relaxation techniques. She is also certified in Nurturing the Mother® Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage. Her interest in massage began with her belief that emotions live in the body. With a background in Psychology, she enjoys bringing that understanding into her work with clients. Outside of OEW, Dakota loves spending time with her spouse, creating art, hiking, cooking, and baking.
