Todd (he/him) is a well-informed and intuitive therapist who focuses on understanding his client's needs to deliver specific, deliberate massage at varying levels of pressure to affect all levels of tissue from the most superficial to deep structures. His method involves crafting client-directed treatment plans to address existing tension, restrictions, or pain. He mainly uses popular techniques such as Swedish massage, myofascial release, mobility work, as well as hydrotherapy.

The foundation of each session is clear therapist-client communication and understanding. Todd carefully considers health history, posture, and the wear-and-tear of daily life, to achieve incremental improvement and resolution. Todd always uses careful touch, appropriate pressure, and useful movement as he works to deliver a treatment plan unique to each client. This process is typically relaxing and should not be painful.

Raised in New England, Todd made the excellent decision to move west to Seattle, and truly loves his chosen neighborhood of Ballard. Prior to working as a massage therapist, Todd lived in Boston, San Francisco, and New York working in higher education and technology. He loves to walk, hike, and travel. He recently walked 450 miles along the Camino de Santiago through France which gave him a greater appreciation for the tremendous benefits of massage therapy. Todd studied for his massage license at DiscoveryPoint School of Massage in Seattle.
