Therapeutic Bodywork
Personalized sessions for pain relief, deep relaxation, and nervous system regulation in Mount Shasta.
Hello, I’m Dustin. With over 25 years of meditation and movement practice and thousands of hours of hands-on clinical experience, I help people move past pain and back into balance.
My work blends the precision of Structural Integration and Neuromuscular Therapy with the gentle, nervous-system-focused care of Craniosacral Therapy. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking deeper resilience, I will tailor each session to your body’s unique needs.
My practice is built on over 3,000 hours of specialized formal training:
Structural Integration: 200 hours certified (Ida Rolf lineage); currently completing a 500-hour program for board certification.
Craniosacral Therapy: 700 hours of nervous system and subtle body study.
Neuromuscular & Massage Therapy: 1,300 combined hours of clinical and therapeutic study.
Yoga & Movement: E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher.

Structural Integration: The Ten Series
Developed by Dr. Ida Rolf, the Ten Series is a systematic sequence of ten sessions, each roughly 90 minutes, designed to progressively align and balance the entire body within gravity. Each session builds on the last, moving through distinct stages:
Sessions 1–3 (Sleeve): Release the body's superficial layers, the "sleeve" of connective tissue, to open the breath and establish basic structural support.
Sessions 4–7 (Core): Work deeper, addressing the core structures, legs, pelvis, spine, and neck, to establish a stable vertical line.
Sessions 8–10 (Integration): Integrate the changes made throughout the series, refining movement patterns so the whole body functions as a coordinated, balanced unit.
Sessions are typically spaced one to two weeks apart, allowing the nervous system and tissues time to adapt between visits. The result is lasting improvement in posture, ease of movement, and overall structural health.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
A gentle, non-invasive approach using light touch to support the body's own natural rhythms and self-regulating capacity. Sessions are typically 60–90 minutes and work with the nervous system, fluid rhythms, and connective tissue to encourage deep rest, balance, and healing from the inside out.
