Meet Dave

I'm pretty sure I knew I wanted to be a Massage Therapist back in high school. I just didn't realize it until half-way through college when I realized I had to pick something to do with my degree after I graduated. I was always fascinated by the human body and loved learning how it worked. I first came to Westminster in 1997 as a freshman at Western Maryland College to study just that. After 4 years I had a BA in Exercise Science and went right to massage school. I was in Chattanooga, Tennessee for a little over a year studying Massage Therapy. What an enlightening year! It was, and still is, very exciting for me to be able to apply what I learned in college to a hands-on approach to helping people live healthier lives. I think that is what separates me from other massage therapists. All of my massages are implemented with a firm background in physiology. And I love helping clients understand what is going on with their bodies.

Actually, I love everything about this job! It is amazing and deeply rewarding to be able to feel a tight muscle relax under my hands and hear the client sigh with relief. I consider it a great privilege to work with my clients on such a personal level. And I know Westminster has the best clients a therapist could ask for. I've been to the west coast...it just wasn't the same. I am back in Carroll County (I have to thank my wonderful wife, Fran, for bringing me back home) and Physical Balance is a dream come true for me. I have great appreciation for this community and I do hope I get to see you in my office and thank you personally. Wishing you Wellness!
