Derrick utilizes his experiences over the years to create a unique massage experience. A massage style based in Neuromuscular with a blend of Facilitation/Inhibition techniques from Physical Therapy and Yogic practices elicited with an intuitive mindful approach to release negative holding patterns of the body.  Through releasing the body, we can better release the Mind for a feeling of ultimate relaxation and realignment.


Derrick spends his free-time participating in High Intensity Interval Training and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other assorted Mixed Martial Arts as well as hiking up in the Freshwater Springs that north Florida is well known for. Reading Sci-fi books and movies is a passion as well as healthy eating habits and mentoring people on habit change for improved holistic lifestyles.


If 2020 has taught us anything it is that this world can get upside down rather quickly, We need to take care of ourselves so that when the chaos comes, we can greet it from a place of stillness.. Give yourself a break and book a session with Derrick today, Your future self will thank you.
