“Dodson is intuitive, skilled, and very present. I usually put massages in two categories - relaxing/put you to sleep or technical/fix the problems. Somehow, Dodson manages to do both. After my first session, I slept on my back comfortably for the first time in ages.”

Becky Lundberg, Pilates Instructor

“Dodson is an incredible massage therapist… He's extremely intuitive, listens carefully, and seems to know exactly what your body needs in every session. And his grounded, calming presence is the perfect anchor after a hectic day/week. Can't recommend working with Dodson enough.”

Jaemin Yi

“Dodson’s bodywork is attuned, intuitive and very skilled. It’s like his hands are listening deeply to and responding to the pace in which my muscles are ready to relax. I always leave feeling more embodied spacious and peaceful”
