David is one of the kindest, most respectful professionals I’ve ever worked with. He creates such a calm, welcoming environment and truly takes the time to listen and understand what you need. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients’ comfort and well-being. If you're looking for someone who blends skill with compassion, David is absolutely the person to see.

Hands down, the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever head! Always feel so much better and relieved from chronic pain after each session.

I'm an old timer and was deeply dreading the science part of the curriculum at Sunstrate Academy where Dave Holden was a teacher and then principal. I struggled with the sciences in high school and then through college always making barely passing grades. I have rarely come across a teacher who is as captivating, professional and knows his subject matter quite like Mr. Holden. The time in class just flew by and the skeletal system actually became interesting for the first time in my 61 years. I'll never forget I got a 98% on my first major exam covering the skeletal system.. I had not hit a score that high since like second grade! I know I'm going on and on but there is so much to say about this educator who obviously loves his job. Even when he was promoted to principal he still made time for me and my many questions😃 and I never felt rushed out the door. When I heard he was starting his own school, I had to throw my 2 cents in... There is no one more equipped, more deserving, with so much integrity as Dave Holden to own and operate a massage school...

As I walked through the doors as a baby massage student, I was nervous about what was to come. However, when I met Dave Holden, everything changed. As a massage educator, he really takes the time to get to know his students and actually cares about their education. Despite the somewhat difficult course material (Kinesiology is hard), Dave breaks it down and doesn’t mind taking the time to go over something again and again until you get it right. With Dave at the helm, there are no such thing as stupid questions (truly) and he creates an environment where everyone feels more like a family than just another typical class. I would recommend any massage CE or licensing course that Dave Holden teaches— you won’t regret it!

The level of expertise you are getting can't be beat. David's years of experience with different massage techniques and knowledge on human anatomy mean he can and will address specific concerns you need addressed. For me, I have damage and years of stiffness to the base of my levator scapulae. I have managed it with at home massage but it has remained a chronic issue that doctor's have basically shrugged at. I felt a bit hopeless at ever finding any form of help or relief. For the first session we had an in depth convo about my pain specifically and what I was hoping to accomplish. I was impressed with his understanding of the muscle groups in that area and how stiffness can present. For once in over a decade I have noticed improvement in my neck mobility after a few sessions. He's also a professional and kind soul. I feel like I've lucked out in finding him!! And yes the office space is clean, with nice decor, and peaceful :) And yes I wrote a review for google and yelp because that's how awesome David is!

Very intuitive therapist. David found all of the knots and more. Months of pent up stiffness gone in one session.
