Doug works primarily with fascia, muscles, joints and the nervous system to release tension patterns, reduce pain, heal physical trauma and encourage healthy alignment. He loves helping people find relief, and believes understanding anatomy is crucial to making lasting change.

Massage therapy is useful for treating a broad range of common symptoms, and clear communication about the goals of treatment is a great place to start. Doug is the type of therapist who loves a good chat, and is equally happy to work in silence.

Doug has a background in embodied movement practices such as acting, dance and yoga. He enjoys hiking, biking, jogging, swimming and canoeing, as well as casual team sports.

Currently practicing at Alcove Massage Therapy in Victoria BC.

  • “I danced a ton last week, and felt way more mobile in my pelvis! I could actually feel my hamstrings turn on, cause my hip flexors etc weren’t doing all the work. So whatever you’re doing, it’s working!”

    KS

  • “I felt fantastic after the treatment! The deep work you did on my low back, gluts and IT band, made a big difference in terms of the tightness I was experiencing. It was much easier to move around freely the next day.”

    MM

  • “I feel great! I even had the most amazing sleep that night.”

    KR

  • “Finding a lot more mobility on the court and finally able to reach up now while serving. The pain is there but not as bad and the strengthening exercises have helped immensely.”

    ZB

  • “It all felt really good after my massage, especially my feet! It was one of the better massages I have had in a long time, you did a really good job! The amount of pressure and pace of the massage was excellent :)”

    SB

  • “I’ve had a huge amount of relief. Both the tightness in my neck and my pelvis have been significantly reduced and my resting position while sitting feels way better even for long periods of time. Thanks so much!”

    DC

  • “I enjoyed the treatment and was really impressed with your knowledge. You work with a really good depth and don't shy away from problem areas! After treatment I felt rested and felt an improvement in my low back and shoulders.”

    JM

  • “I felt great after the massage and the following day as well.”

    RH
