Great Massage in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Contact me: info@drdot.com and put "Patch/MINN" in subject line, thanks π
Hello! I'm Patch, and I have been practicing massage in Minnesota since 2004.
Before graduating from the Saint Paul College Massage Therapy Program and embarking on what has become a therapeutic bodywork adventure, I viewed massage as many people might – a purely physical experience and a once-a-year luxury. I did not seriously consider any effects other than physical ones, and figured it couldn't be that difficult to give good massages, especially since people had already told me that I had a knack for it. Years and some important lessons later, my experience in the field has changed my perception of massage entirely.
Now, I strongly believe that people can highly benefit from healing touch on a regular basis, and that the intention behind that touch is more important than just excellent technique. I also believe that the effects of massage go beyond physical sensations. When our bodies are massaged and physical change occurs, our thoughts and emotions are also activated – how the body feels affects the mind, and how the mind feels affects the body; therefore, open communication is also vital to a successful treatment. Because of these beliefs, I have begun to make it my goal to not only help people feel better physically, but also more positive mentally after they get a massage from me, with the intention that these changes become part of a new pattern that will decrease pain and discomfort over the long run. As there is always more to know in life, I am continually learning and trying to improve upon my abilities to positively influence people's lives through touch, and I believe that this has put me on a good path.
Whether or not you decide to book me today for a massage incorporating any of deep tissue, myofascial relaxation, Swedish, trigger point, and sports techniques, I hope that you choose to receive therapeutic massages on a regular basis – after all, how many things in life feel good and are good for you? =)
Thanks for reading!
Cheers!

Massage in Detroit, Michigan
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 Charleston, SC
Email me at info@drdot.com and put "laura/SC" in the subject line please π
After working as a software consultant to Fortune 100 companies around the world and living out of a suitcase for 9 years, I decided to make a career change and graduated from The Charleston School of Massage in Charleston, SC. I have experience with Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular, Sports, Trigger Point, Hot Stone, Shiatsu, Reflexology, and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage. I am also trained in Oncology Massage specifically to meet the needs of those who are currently fighting or have survived cancer.
A massage with me is typically deep (I’ve never had a client that could take everything I had to give) and very relaxing at the same time. I have been told that I have a gift for connecting to people on deeper level than just the physical, and that is evident in my massage. Many of my clients have told me “that was the best massage I’ve ever had!” I truly love my work and look forward to sharing it with you!

Massage in San Diego, California
Contact me: info@drdot.com and put "Jazmine/San Diego" in the subject line π
Hey All! I'm Jazmine. San Diego is my hometown and it's in this beautiful city where I discovered my passion for Massage Therapy.
Inspired by the sun and ocean, it's not too farfetched that career wise I'd eventually land in the Holistic field. As a kid, I was always the play in the mud kind of girl. My awareness for massage began when I would go with my Mom to a hospital rehabilitation center for Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, & Massage Therapy. And with my Mom having Breast Cancer and a Dad who was sick, naturally, I wanted a career that helped people- relieved pain, stress, give a caring touch, whatever! Just all around make someone feel better! From then on, I'd work on my Mom when she was feeling uneasy, my Aunts and Uncle before and after they went to the gym, and soon enough, word spread to the rest of the family about what my little hands could do.
I have great love & appreciation for music. During times when no one else understands, there's always a song that does! It's created life friends, wonderful occasions, and memories. One of my Mom's enjoyments was putting together shows for the Filipino community, starring one Filipino famous artist and local singers- what an experience! Music is truly amazing on so many levels. That's why I'm so particular of the songs I choose for my Massage sessions! In my spare time, I love creating and crafting; I enjoy making jewelery, candles, and sewing. I always have a new project!
Trained and Certified in the Following Modalities: (In bold, I consider my specialties):
Swedish, Advanced Circulatory & Sports Massage, Shiatsu, Sports Injuries, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Western Herbs, Aromatherapy, Spa Techniques, Chair Massage, Geriatric Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Lomi Ka'Ala Hoku
I am very appreciative to be a part of Dr. Dot's team, and excited to possibly work on you! Thanks for taking the time to read a little about myself π If you'd like to get in touch with me, contact the Doc!
Massage in Buffalo, NY
Reach me at: info@drdot.com and put "Jenn/Buffalo" in subject line please π
Hi, my name is Jennifer and I live in Buffalo, NY. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 8 years.
After moving to NYC at the age of 17, I was blessed to study dance with some of the best choreographers and teachers in the world. For years I danced with a modern dance company, which allowed me to tour Europe and eastern Asia. While traveling I also had the opportunity to get massage therapy in amazing spas from Prague to Tokyo. This is where I found my new passion in life…Massage!!
I graduated from The New York College of Wholistic Health, Education and Research in 2002. Directly out of school I opened my own Massage Therapy Center. I also offered home visits to clients in Manhattan, Atlantic Beach and the Hamptons.
I have been trained and am competent to practice Deep Tissue, Therapeutic, Reflexology, Trigger Point Therapy, Hot Stone Massage, Medical Massage and Sports Massage.
Now that I have relocated back to my hometown of Buffalo, I have been given the great opportunity to become a part of the Dr. Dot team, and I feel so lucky to work as one of her assistants.
I may be only 5’1”, but don’t let that fool you…I give a really deep massage! So if that is what you are looking for, and you are in the Buffalo, Rochester or Toronto area, book your next massage with me.
Massage in Dublin, Ireland

“Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded.” (Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe)
My name is Niamh and I’m available to do Massage in Dublin primarily, but can also consider Northern England (Leeds in particular) as I’ll be back and forth while I do a Masters in Occupational Therapy. While studying for my degree Anthropology I became interested in Medical Anthropology…how different cultures approach health and well-being. This taught me about Massage from a holistic viewpoint, amongst other things. I went on to train in Swedish Massage in 2004, which I developed by incorporating various other styles such as some Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point work and Indian Head Massage. Blending these in whatever way each individual’s body dictates. However, I firmly believe in a straightforward, honest to goodness, no-nonsense Massage. I’m intuitive and perceptive and will focus on getting to the root of any needs or problems, then work on these with great attention to detail.
I’m into anything that can transform the soul, and for me Music and Massage would be top of that list. Good quality examples of both can do this almost immediately. I love all kinds of music, depending on my mood and what I need…a good Massage Therapist should be able to figure these things out too, and deliver what’s required.
If you’re in Dublin, the ‘dirty old town’, give me a shout.
Massage in El Paso, Texas
Reach me at: info@drdot.com and put "Melinda/El Paso" in the subject line π
Hello all! My name is Melinda!
Originally a Midwest girl from Missouri, I’ve found myself in El Paso, Texas now for the last few years. I’m full of life, a goofball, driven, and professional all at the same time! After serving in the Army, then being a tattoo artist, then a police officer, I realized I needed a change of pace. So I chose massage therapy.
After graduating top of my class, I went straight to work at a therapeutic clinic and have been there since. I’ve built up a vast clientele and outstanding repertoire with them. I have also been responsible for getting the local music scene and tattoo scene involved in the benefits of massage. Struggling artists, and tattoo artists are often overlooked when they need so much work. My calling is definitely Deep Tissue and Trigger Point! I have the strength to really get into the muscles and work deep. I also practice Swedish, Pre-Natal, Chair, Sports, Myofascial Release, and combinations for individual needs.
My massage therapy teacher had called me the “black sheep” of the class. The “rebel”; and pointed me in the direction of the Dr. Dot team and mentioned that was more “my speed”. As soon as I read about Dot and her amazing team, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. How great to be able to give back to all the amazing talented artists that have given so much to their fans and the music industry.
When in El Paso; contact Dr. Dot for an amazing therapeutic massage experience! See “yall” soon!
Massage in Amsterdam, Holland

Hello! My name is Maria, born and raised in Colombia then moved to United States where I learn massage and therapeutic work in 2001. In my search for growth, I travelled overseas to discover new landscapes and cultures… Living in Amsterdam now, enjoying this beautiful city and carrying on my passion and practice through the healing power of touch!
My area of expertise is Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Stretching and Trigger Points, the ideal combination for deep tissue therapeutic treatments. I am also trained in Reflexology, relaxation techniques and energy work. For several years I practiced Taiko -traditional Japanese drumming, a martial art as well as a powerful instrument which philosophy taught me discipline, strength and confidence in life and everything I do.
Helping others has always brought big fulfillment to my life, and massage has been and continues to be the greatest instrument to my purpose. It’s greatly satisfying to be part of Dr. Dot’s team of healers and I look forward to working with you!
