David’s Biography

In 2000 I discovered cranial sacral therapy (CST) and was very impressed with its potential to help people who feel stuck with pain, discomfort, and stress.  I learned that it could be key in relieving and/or resolving many situations of pain, discomfort, and stress, and also help with some health issues.  In 2001 I began my training in CST with the Upledger Institute.  In 2002 I went to massage therapy school and became a certified licensed massage therapist.  This gave me the right to offer CST legally and professionally.  While in Massage therapy school I discovered Integrative manual therapy which offers a much wider range of helping  situations of pain, discomfort, stress, and health problems  than CST. I then completed a 3 year program for integrative manual therapy at the Connecticut School Of Integrative Manual Therapy in 2007 and completed many advanced trainings there beyond the 3 year program. Here much was added to my CST training and a unique form of myofascial release was offered, strain counter-strain for muscles stuck in spasm, and training to help with dysfunctional  bio-mechanics of any joint, and to help with many health problems. Also I received training in helping with obtaining and maintaining good wellness at this school.

In 2005 I opened a practice offering CST, Integrative Manual therapy, myofascial release, strain counter-strain, and, and relaxation massage. I have been able to help many people suffering from a wide range of problems.  This has been very rewarding and I love doing this work.

I had always wanted to offer help for people with their pain and health but never found a field that interested and inspired me enough to commit to all the education and work  required.  What I do now was able to draw me in and keep me inspired and motivated. I have seen firsthand how it can help others because it has helped my wife and I so greatly. Both of us are pain free, happy, and don’t need any medications.

I have been inspired by my father and grandfather, who were both gifted general surgeons. My great grandfather offered much help to suffering people from his general store. I was a carpenter with my own business until I discovered the field I am in now.  I was often feeling as I did I carpentry work I wish I could be using my hands to help people with their pain and health.

In my spare time I enjoy walking in nature and wildlife watching with my wife, kayaking, reading, holistic self development, continuous development of manual therapy skills, and collecting music and looking at art.
