Ashanti Dickerson, Clinical Massage Therapist
I have always had a strong curiosity in the functioning and movement of the human body. I decided to explore this interest at San Diego State University and majored in Kinesiology while minoring as a Fitness Specialist. In school, I began to expand how both internal and external elements can affect the mental and physical states of a person but more specifically how they relate to injury prevention. After graduating with my bachelor’s degree, I wanted to implement my passion as well as serving my community. That’s when I later studied Clinical Massage Therapy.
I loved the idea that I can use my manual modality skills to help individuals reach their long term wellness goals while also making positive and personal connections. Becoming a Clinical Massage Therapist has been both a rewarding and gratifying career. I’ve also come to realize through my hands-on experience that pain is the last symptom our body sends that something is wrong – not the first – and it is my job as your therapist to address it.
Therefore I emphasize to all my clients that no matter your age. chronic condition, athleticism, or lifestyle: I have both the ability and knowledge to creatively change the way you view your bodies and the ability to adapt and progress clinically.
As your therapist, I will expand your knowledge and facilitate healing.
