Dakota L.
Dakota takes a patient-centered approach, combining deep, intentional bodywork with the art of truly listening—both to clients’ words and the stories their bodies tell. Guided by intuition and expertise, Dakota tailors each session to meet the unique needs and goals of every individual. What sets Dakota apart is his ability to seamlessly integrate his ongoing training in the ancient wisdom of acupuncture and Chinese medicine as a student at Bastyr into massage therapy. This holistic fusion creates a personalized healing experience designed to restore balance, alleviate pain, and nurture overall well-being.
As a student of acupuncture at Bastyr University, I am constantly expanding my understanding of holistic health and the interconnectedness of the body. I love incorporating elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine into my massage sessions, such as acupressure and meridian work, to support the body’s natural healing process. This blend of modalities allows me to address both the physical and energetic aspects of wellness, creating a truly customized experience for each client. My ongoing studies inspire me to bring fresh insights and techniques to my practice, ensuring you receive the most informed and intentional care.
Dakota did an especially great job concentrating on specific areas of need (neck and shoulders). He was very accommodating to my requests and attuned to pressure levels.
