I work a very physical job and do lots of fun adventures on the weekend like running, open water swimming and hiking. I am hard on my body and have lots of soreness and very tight muscles especially in my shoulders and neck. D.J. helped loosen and stretch those stubborn muscles. I felt so relaxed after my 90 minute massage. Thank you D.J. for helping me feel so much better. Look forward to scheduling my next appointment soon!

Sam is a fantastic massage therapist who has the ability to listen to your individual issues and apply a variety of treatments to alleviate pain and improve mobility. I have several neck and back issues from an auto accident years ago, and she has been instrumental in alleviating my pain so that I can get back to enjoying life.
I have had weekly Thai massage with Lise for over a year, and I have found it to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. At 70 years old, my body is getting old and cranky. I have found that Lise's knowledge of the body and of different massage modalities has kept me active and healthy, and, just feeling good. Lise has years of experience and an innate intuition that has helped straighten out physical pain and helped improve my muscle strength and posture. I also take the "Gentle Yoga" class that Lise offers, and I enjoy it tremendously. Lise is not only a great teacher, but she also structures the class to what each person needs. She challenges me to push myself, but doesn't push class members to the point where there is an injury. Both the yoga class and the massage are a joy to go to. I am tremendously grateful to have found the Metta Center. The work is keeping me feeling young and healthy.

My first session of Thai Massage Bodywork with DJ was everything I hoped it would be. The space is comfortable and relaxing. DJ knows what he's doing and the relief I got from the discomfort of having plates and pins in my leg was incredible. I'll be returning monthly for a 90 minute session.

DJ did an excellent job loosening up my very stiff legs. He's extremely easy-going and very good at Thai Massage. I look at it as a combination of trigger point massage and assisted stretching. I'll be back.

D.J. has helped me heal quickly from two separate injuries. The great thing about his technique is that he identifies and treats the area(s) that are causing problems. I have been to massage therapists and neuromuscular therapists before and they seemed to just go through a trained routine on the body every time - not D.J...he spends time relieving the tension areas as needed.
I highly recommend D.J -- he suggests stretches and techniques that I can implement later to keep me active.

I am so glad I found DJ while I have been training for the Chuckanut 50k. Since he is also an athlete, he understands what the body needs while training. I experienced much more relief from his tai massage technique than I have in other massages. Thanks to him, I have stayed injury-free!

I was really pleased and surprised when my massage therapist suggested that my troubles with my leg were because of the scar. I got an appointment for scar release quickly and my leg does not hurt anymore! I have a second appointment made already!

Lise is deeply knowledgeable about massage techniques. She used a combination of Thai massage, trigger point and more traditional massage techniques to help calm my chronic neck pain. Very grateful she is practicing here in Bellingham.

I have been privileged to receive bodywork both from Sam (Thai massage and Craniosacral) and from Lise (Trager work) and have found both to be extremely kind, intuitive, and skillful practitioners. As a bodyworker myself, I have received thousands of hours of work over the years and can say that these two are truly awesome. The Metta Center space is very quiet which really helps support the depth of the work they are doing. Highly recommended!

Wonderful to work with, she completely changed the way I view scar tissue, itโs interconnectivity to the body and how to help it
I had a lovely Thai massage with Lise, gentle healing energy and walked out feeling lighter.
