New Leaf Bodywork

I highly recommend Dakota for anyone seeking a skilled massage therapist! I've had about 5 maintenance massages with Dakota over the past year to help with general muscle tightness from climbing and swimming. He is incredibly dedicated to understanding and addressing my concerns, always taking the time to listen and tailor each session to my needs. The massages can be intense but well worth the relief that follows. The cupping therapy add on he offers is also well worth it! I have found to be very helpful in increasing my shoulder mobility and reliving the knots in my back 🙂

I can't recommend Dakota highly enough! From the moment I started working with him, it was clear he is incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and communicative. His expertise in addressing tightness and discomfort is unmatched. Over the course of our sessions, he has worked wonders in relieving years of chronic tension that I thought I'd just have to live with. Dakota is not only skilled, but he takes the time to really understand your needs and tailor his approach to suit you. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your well-being and has the expertise to deliver real results, Dakota is the one to go to. Five stars all the way!

I've been working with Dakota for 2 years. From the start I knew he was one of those super rare body workers that is a constant student. He's got great touch and intensely tuned into your body's reaction to treatment. He is sensitive to asking whether or not a treatment is too much or if you want more. I have worked with him on a hip injury that had bothered me for 4 years. For reference i was taking 1000 mg of tylenol a day for those 4 years. Within a couple of months he worked my muscles enough that I no longer had issues with pain in my hip. I'm now seeing him for tennis elbow and basic body maintenance. Dakota is the truth!

Dakota is a wonderful massage therapist - extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I was hit by a car as a pedestrian a few months ago and sought out Dakota as part of my recovery treatment to alleviate stiffness and pain in my shoulder, hip, and ankle. I was initially skeptical that the treatment would have significant effect, but has helped immensely. While the medical massage is very intense (and sometimes uncomfortable!) during the treatment, the next day, I notice significant improvement in the areas he worked. His knowledge of the muscles, tendons, and nerves in the body is extremely impressive and he was able to pinpoint the exact areas of my pain and help to relieve the issue. He has even been able to significantly improve the residual stiffness in my sprained ankle. I have had about eight sessions with him and will be wrapping up treatment for the accident soon, however, I believe in his work so much at this point that I plan to continue seeing him monthly for general health and preventative care. Could not recommend Dakota more for helping you to recover from soft tissue trauma.

Dakota does amazing work! I was referred to New Leaf Bodywork by Dr. Jordan Duncan of Silverdale Sport & Spine for whom Dakota shares an office with. I have been looking for a new massage therapist ever since my original person closed after the pandemic. Dakota goes above and beyond to make sure that he gets every difficult spot. He really takes his time to address my concerns. I originally went in for just a routine maintenance massage but after seeing that he works with TMJ patients I asked about what he could do for me because I grind and clench a lot but I’m not comfortable with people sticking their fingers in my mouth. He was able to work on the outside of my jaw and holy cow what a difference it made for the tension headaches I had been having. Thank you Dakota for doing such great work!

Dakota is a fantastic massage therapist! I had heard great things about him from several people and I can see why. He is skilled in a variety of techniques, has an excellent feel for the right amount of pressure, and can treat a wide array of injuries. Highly recommended!

Dakota is awesome! He is very knowledgeable of all the muscle groups and works hard to target the problem areas. He is a great listener and addressed all the areas that I needed help with. He is the utmost professional, and I feel comfortable working with him. Dakota is a great deep tissue treatment specialist! I'm so happy to have found someone to work consistently with.

I would highly recommend New Leaf Shiatsu and Massage. Dakota is professional, prompt, and personable. I got an intense two hour massage after I was involved in a rear end collision, and my chiropractor says it did amazing things for my mobility. I have another massage scheduled soon and I am looking forward to it. Dakota is also great at asking questions and making sure you are comfortable through the whole process. Whether you are new to massage, or an old pro, I would suggest you book a session today.
