Massage in Cornwall England

Hi, my name is Carla. Born in Derby, I followed my dream to live by the sea and moved to Cornwall ten years ago. Previously working in education as an art teacher, I experienced first hand how stress and tension can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. Wanting to make a difference and enable people to live a calmer life I decided to retrain as a Massage Therapist. I then managed a Spa for several years before going freelance.  I now work with private clients in and around the South West using my expertise in Deep Tissue Massage, Ayurvedic Techniques, Advanced Hydrotherm, Trigger Point Massage, Indian Head, Thai Foot and Reflex Massage, Hot Stone, Swedish, Facelift Massage and Reiki. I have successfully treated many professional sports people, writers, musicians, dancers, body builders and teachers!
I am a very intuitive Therapist and Healer, with the skills to listen to a clients needs and expectations. I provide a complete treatment, taking into account the whole person, working with clients on an emotional as well as physical level. I love to travel and take inspiration for my practise from the places and cultures I visit. My other passion is music and experiencing the energy of live performances. Having the opportunity to represent Dr Dot has been the perfect way to combine my creative interests. I have great integrity and a calm energy to be around, with the focus to provide my clients with an exceptional treatment and experience.
I am available 24/7 throughout the UK, and for tours here and abroad if required. Just email me at info@drdot.com and write "Carla/Cornwall" in the subject line and I will get back to you right away.
I look forward to meeting and working with you in the future.
Best Wishes
Carla xx

Massage in Montreal Canada

 

 

Hi everyone!

I’m Jodi and I have been blessed to be following a path throughout the healing arts for over 15 years. While living on the beautiful west coast of  Canada I attained my massage certification while working with athletes in the area of sport medicine and studying kinesiology,  with this experience I continued my studies and went on to attain my bachelor of science in physiotherapy,  and further completed 2 years of postgraduate work  in medical acupuncture.  I have 10 years of experience working  in private practice setting with all kinds of clients, injuries, and imbalances.

With this background I have built a solid understanding and knowledge of the human body and healing from both a western and eastern perspective. This, combined with my hands innate natural intuition, enables me to easily and effortlessly seek out any “hidden dragons” or relieve or relax any tensions whether new or 20+ years old! No words are necessary! My techniques can range from deep, deep , deep did I mention deep and yes sometimes somewhat painful ( the good pain☺ – of course) to silently deep, painless and powerful, often bringing profound changes quickly, it all depends on the individual!

NO two massages are the same!

These techniques include:
• Advanced training in Manual Therapy  • Advanced training in Myofascial Release Techniques • Active Release Therapy (ART) • Positional Release • Trigger Point Therapy • Advanced Deep Tissue Massage • Sport Massage
• Advanced Training in Energetic Release and Balancing • Craniosacral Techniques • Osteopathic Techniques • Emotional Release Techniques • Body Talk  •  Breakthrough Techniques • Reiki

As love and life has now brought me to the east coast to live in this beautiful city of Montréal,  it has also brought me the great opportunity to work as part of Dr. Dot’s amazing team of massage therapist! What better way to combine the things you love massage, healing, music and travel!

                            When passion is shared only great things can happen!

 

Please email me at info@drdot.com and put "Jodi/Montreal" in the subject line and will get back to you right away to book your treatment.

I look forward to massaging you, your crew, your family, your friends and anyone else you want to bring along!

Massage in Tampa Florida

 

Hi everyone, I’m Suzanne a native Floridian, licensed for 18 years. My specialties include Neuromuscular Therapy, Reflexology, Sports Stretching, Myofascial Release, Corporate Chair, and Pregnancy Massage.

I grew up outdoors around water and was often called a hippie tomboy. I played many sports growing up and have a B.S. in Wellness Leadership from USF, Tampa. While there I excelled in Exercise Physiology, Kinesiology, Athletic Injury Management, Personal Training, Lifeguarding, and Martial Arts. After graduating, I enrolled in Massage Therapy School.

For 4 years I dated a bar bouncer that worked at an awesome, yet intimate concert venue called Jannus Landing. I was blessed to see hundreds of shows and often had access to the VIP areas, interacting with some fabulous artists. That relationship ended but the dream of massaging bands began.

My first encounter with a musician happened in October 1991. The head security/manager for Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers chased after me, table in tow, after leaving a hotel job. He said I looked strong and then begged me to follow their bus to the Sundome, watch them perform backstage, and end up the hotel for an all-nighter. Did I hear him right? I worked until 5 am on Ziggy and several family members. I was 21, in awe and just got paid handsomely to help a favorite band. In 1997 I had the opportunity to work on Pantera; they were playing on UCF’s campus and needed massages before the show. I had never heard of them before but will never forget the experience. It rekindled my passion to work on musicians.

At the same time my career in Sports massage took off and I began collaborating with Doctors, Physical Therapists, and Chiropractors, specializing in Medical massage and Rehab Exercise. Over the span of my career I have worked on collegiate athletes, numerous Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Beach Volleyball Pros, Triathletes, Orlando Magic Players, Golfers, a RAAM rider, and even a Gator Wrestler!

My musical influences run the gamut. Long family car trips were spent listening to Barbara Streisand, Bette Midler, Neil Diamond and Kenny Rogers. My parents LOVE show tunes. My first concerts attended were Adam Ant and the Stray Cats. Soon after, Uncle Roger took us to see Bruce Springsteen at the Miami Rose Bowl, 4th row, Born in the USA tour! Need I say more? Some of my favorite artists include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Janes Addiction, Depeche Mode, The Police, U2, Bob Marley, Enigma, Sarah McLachlan, Seal, Dead Can Dance, Kitaro, R.Carlos Nakai, and MOST OF ALL the Dave Matthews Band.

I recently stumbled onto Dot’s website and I answered her call for Therapists in my area. I was honored to audition for her team and amazed to see my dream come to fruition. I can’t wait to meet you and spread the healing power of touch. I am able and willing to travel.

 

If you email me at info@drdot.com and put "Suzanne/FLA" in subject line, I will be able to set up an appointment for you. See you soon

Eagles of Death Metal meet Staind in Berlin

Saturday night (last night) was pretty entertaining. Met up with Aaron Lewis , singer of Staind who is by FAR the Dot Bots favorite client. He gets a massage pretty much every single day of every tour he does and he LOVES our massage team (the feeling is mutual). He is super generous, funny as hell and a good challenge (he expects EXTREME deep tissue, like no other!). Anyways, Aaron had his two hour massage then we went over to the Franz Club where the Eagles of Death Metal were playing.

I have not been to the Franz Club for years, so when we (Aaron and I) got out of the taxi, I asked the very first people I could "which way exactly is the Franz club?" – but I said it in German as it IS Berlin. The guy, looked at me like I was nuts and I said it again in English- and added we are looking for the backstage door to the Eagles of Death Metal. He said "WE ARE the Eagles of Death Metal" ha ha. I didn't recognize the singer, Jesse Hughs, as his hair is longer now..There was a video camera rolling the whole time, but I wasn't sure why- there was a massive soccer game tonight so I just assumed it was the local news, but it was a tv crew following the singer and drummer of the Eagles of Death Metal around outside for some reason, lol. So, I say "I am Dr. Dot and this is Aaron" and he said "I know who you are" and then he shook hands with Aaron and gave me a hug. I was perplexed as I had never met him before and he could not see my Dr. Dot shirt under the umteen sweaters I had on – eh? Guess he knows the Dr. Dot massage team and assumed I was just one of the Dot Bots lol. ANYHOW we all went backstage and had a BLAST.

Jesse Hughes , singer of The Eagles of Death Metal ^

Jesse, Aaron and Eagles of Death Metal drummer, Joey Castillo ^ who also plays with Queens of the Stone Age

Guitarist of Eagles of Death Metal, Dave Catching ^ was super cool to talk to. He played me some OLD Roxy Music on his iPod and I have to admit, I will be looking it up online and buying it. Sounded great. It was before the Talking Heads had formed and you can tell the Talking Heads must have been heavily influenced by early Roxy Music (the Brian Eno connection going on too)

This was taken months ago ^ just thought I would toss it on here again

 

We came so early to the Eagles of Death Metal show and Aaron and I both couldn't be bothered to see the opening act, so we booked it to White Trash for some yummy grub and ARROGANT service. The hostess there pretty much SCREAMED at us to get out of the big booth and move to the tiny table Wolfgang the owner reserved for us. JEEEZE. Even Aaron could not believe how fucking bitchy they are there. White Trash is fun and the food is great but they are FAMOUS for snotty fucking service. Not kidding. Their french fries are called "Fuck you fries". lol

Took these pics of Aarons new tatt's while awaiting our grub.

 

Aaron had his hands tattooed not so long ago ^ looks mad cool. 

He told me who certain songs of his are about, he said no one knows except him and his band. Felt privileged to know that inside info. I swore to secrecy, so I will just have to leave it in my will. lol

 Ate and ran out of there to make it back in time to the Eagles of Death Metal gig. They still had a half hour before show time, so we had some laughs. Some cute groupies slinked back stage, oooh la la:

Electrical Tape bra. She must be a Wendy-O fan ^

 

Their tour manager, Louie and I go WAY back. I have known him since 1989. He used to tour for YEARS with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Great to see him again. "Rock and Roll never forgets"

Two minutes before show time. Jesse is pumped up and ready!

Drummer Joey waiting til the very last minute to put sticky tape on his drums sticks so they don't slide out of hands. 

 

"The band's on stage and it's one of those nights, oh yeah
The drummer thinks that he is dynamite, oh yeah
You lovely ladies in your leather and lace
A thousand lips I would love to taste
I've got one heart and it hurts like hell
If you can't rock me somebody will
If you can't rock me somebody will"

Rolling Stones

 

 The Franz Club was beyond sold out. This was a special record company gig, super hard to get in if you didn't have a hook up. The band sounded fantastic. VERY energetic. Their intro song (before band comes out) was "Ladies Night" super funk!

Well, gotta get to bed, the Staind show is tomorrow at the Columbia Halle, gotta rest up.

Massage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

My name is Becky and I live near Milwaukee, WI. I attended Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage in upstate New York and have been nationally certified since 2001. In addition to massage therapy, I also have an Associate Degree in Applied Science/Medical Option. I’ve lived in Buffalo and Syracuse, NY; Pittsburgh, PA; and Minneapolis, MN and enjoy traveling and spending time with my family.

I use a combination of massage techniques including deep tissue, swedish, and trigger point therapy and believe that each individual massage depends on my client’s specific needs. Massage should be enjoyable and relaxing while also providing healing and therapeutic benefits.

Many of my clients have said that I’ve ruined them for any other massage therapist because I give the best massage they’ve ever received. I have several clients who come to me specifically for fibromyalgia, low back pain, neck pain, headaches, stress, chronic pain, etc. I have worked successfully in chiropractic offices, salon/spas, hospitals, fitness centers, and on-location. I am punctual, dependable, and am able to deliver an awesome massage with confidence and competence.

I am honored to be a part of Dr. Dot’s awesome team of massage therapists and look forward to working with you! Email me anytime to book me: info@drdot.com (put Becca/Wisconsin in subject line), thanks 🙂

Massage in Seattle Washington

Hello, my name is Jessica. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! I have been a massage practitioner for 8 years. I am currently working on becoming licensed in acupuncture. I work primarily with people who require deep tissue massage and medical treatment. However, I do incorporate energy balance to make your experience relaxing while being beneficial to your body. I am honored to work toward healing others and educating people about other methods for managing pain, alleviating chronic disease, and preventing illness through bodywork.

Throughout my career I have partnered with organizations such as Regence, Group Health and other various medical insurance carriers. I was privileged to provide massage, bodywork and education for their Alternative Healthcare divisions.

In my free time I enjoy spending it with my lovely family. We enjoy being outdoors, riding quads, and traveling whenever and wherever we can.

I LOVE music. All types. There is nothing better than LIVE music!! It can evoke the same parasympathetic response as massage. I love combing my two passions, and look forward to working on you. Email me at info@drdot.com (and put "Jessica/Seattle" in subject line) and I will get back to you asap 🙂

Massage in Chicago, Illinois

 

My name is Catt,

I was born in California. I've lived in California and Iowa my whole life. I recently moved to Chicago, and I love it here. I love the being in the big cities, I love all the activity and commotion. I love massage as well, I even massage my pets!

 

When I massage, I feel centered and balanced. I love being in constant motion and knowing that what I am doing is helping the well being of the person under my hands. Massage, to me, is essential. I understand the need for balance and peace in life and massage provides that, not only in a spiritual way, but an entire body mind experience as well.

 

 

My modalities include:

Swedish

Deep tissue

Trigger point

Myofacial

Cryotherapy

Aromatherapy

And Pregnant/ Sidelying


I have learned to incorporate deep tissue into a full body Swedish massage, because I feel that just addressing one area is not enough, our body works as one entire whole so just working in just one area doesn't make any sense if you want to fix the whole problem. Please email me if you would like to experience my massage: info@drdot.com  (put "CATT/CHICAGO in subject line please)

Massage in Manchester England

Hi my name is Karen and I live in the fantastic city of Manchester of which I am very proud and where I work full time as a Holistic Therapist. My career as a Massage Therapist started several years ago when I decided that I wanted the skills to be able to make people feel as amazing as I felt after receiving a massage treatment.

I have lots of qualifications in massage from Deep Tissue, Advanced Swedish, Sports Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Shiatsu and Acupressure Massage to Indian Head Massage, Holistic Facial Massage, Hot Stones Massage Therapy and Thai Priadara Style Massage. I am also a qualified practitioner in Reflexology, Reiki, and Hopi Ear Candle Therapy and Counselling Concepts.

I believe being able to perform a good massage is a gift. It's not just about the qualifications you have on paper but how you carry out these skills you have gained, how much you put into each treatment and how you treat each individual client as if they were your only client in the world. I take a holistic approach to my treatments and I work intuitively with each client to ensure each massage is tailor made to your requirements. Whether it’s a Hand or Foot Massage, a Head or Back Massage or a Full Body Massage, I will incorporate all different aspects of my training, giving you an amazing massage treatment. I have lots of experience and a great reputation as a Massage Therapist with regular clients that include Doctors, Physiotherapists, Orthopaedic Surgeons, Sports and Fitness Instructors, TV Presenters and the occasional Rock Superstar!

I am very passionate about my work and I am so excited to be working for Dr. Dot as part of such a fantastic team. Giving me the opportunity to combine my love of music with the job I adore is a dream come true.

I look forward to meeting you next time you are in Manchester. You can book me directly at info@drdot.com  (put "Karen/Manchester" in the subject line please 🙂
