"Hello there!
My name is Dominic Petrino. I graduated with a B.S. in Kinesiology from Cal Poly Humboldt and an A.S. in Massage Therapy from De Anza Community College. I enjoyed the sports massage, exercise physiology, and injury rehabilitation classes because I like solving puzzles and the human body is fascinating. I worked in a spa setting for 2 years and focused on relaxation techniques with a swedish style that incorporates breath work and passive movement. I worked the past 4 years as a mobile massage therapist being a part of 100+ chair massage events and serving many in-home table massage clients all over the Bay Area. I believe that movement is medicine for the body. I love massage because I get to help people reduce their stress from work or home through human touch. My goal is to help everyone I work with move with less (optimally no)pain and more confidence so that they can have a better quality of life. When I'm not massaging, I enjoy creating ceramic cups and bowls. I like to stay active by riding my bike and running on the costal trails. Through massage or some other means, I hope to see you out there.
Onward! "
