 Email me at info@drdot.com and put "Kevin/Detroit" in subject line to reach me please

 

 

Hi, my name is Kevin. I was born in Saginaw, MI in 1982 and raised here for most of my life. Since I was a kid I have always loved playing music, I started playing piano and guitar when I was in elementary school. Playing music has gotten me through some pretty tough times in my life, if it wasn't for my guitar, I don't know how I would have handled them.

I spent the first 10 years of my working life in the restaurant industry, trading stress for money. For a while I convinced myself that I liked the stress and that I thrived on it. It wasn't until a friend of mine told me about massage that I realized, I didn't like stress at all! More importantly I did't have stress out just to get paid.

In December of 2008 I got my massage therapy certification and have loved working in the massage field ever since. The way I see it, I have the most relaxing job in the world. My first year in the industry has been awesome, I got my teaching certification and am now teaching at the local massage school. I work also as a massage therapist for Aveda, where I specialize in trigger point and pain management. Recently I won massage therapist of the year in the "Best of the best" for Saginaw and the surrounding (Tri-cities) area.

I heard about Dr. Dot through a client of mine, her previous therapist got a job working for Dr. Dot. After applying I went to my massage audition and got a great review, which puts me here. I am honored to work with the renowned Dr. Dot team and am looking forward to another amazing year in the massage world.

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
