David Rowles, BCTMB
Board Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, David holds the United States' highest professional credential available in the massage field. He was among the first massage therapists (#MSG000112) to be awarded a license in the state of Pennsylvania.
David has lived in the Philadelphia area since 1995, including five years in Media. He's previously resided in Michigan, Louisiana, Upstate New York (where he grew up about 5 hours from both Philadelphia and New York City), Guatemala, Ecuador, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati.
Beyond his native English, David is interested and fluent in the Spanish language and also has something of a handle on French. He enjoys traveling, vegetarian cuisine, listening to popular music (mostly from the Motown era & on), origami, and attending live performances of dance, theatre, and music.
David's first driving aspiration was to be an acrobat, but a training injury put a premature end to that pursuit. He attended Butler University in Indianapolis and Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in Textile Engineering. He worked for several years in the field of IT/computers before feeling ready for a major shift, but was unsure of his calling.
As if by design, David's transition to new work seemed to present itself. A friend encouraged him to investigate massage as a career, and David began professional schooling at the Institute for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork in Chadds Ford. He graduated in May 2006.
David's approach to massage integrates techniques from a wide variety of methods; each session is customized according to his clients' needs and to his intuition.
He's delighted now to be inspired and motivated with his work, and feels this positive energy reflects in the quality of his touch.
On occasion other massage therapists also join the Replenishing Touch Massage office, whether working alongside David or independently. These are hand-picked, exceptional practitioners with a commitment to providing an excellent massage.
