Dario Mexia

Dario


Dario Mexia is not your average massage therapist. His last name, "Mexia," comes from an old Spanish variant meaning "medicine" or "healer" , a fitting legacy that fuels his passion for helping others move, feel, and perform at their best.


Originally from Colombia, Dario earned a Bachelor's degree in Economics before moving to the U.S. in 2012. However, his true calling led him to the world of manual therapy and bodywork. After completing a massage therapy program and becoming a certified personal trainer, he has continued to refine his craft through advanced training in Structural Integration, Myofascial Release, Fascia Stretch Therapy , Cupping Therapy (a.k.a Myofascial Decompression), Scraping Therapy, Sports Massage and Medical Massage.


As a former semi-professional volleyball player, Dario understands the demands placed on the body whether you're an athlete, an active professional, or someone dealing with chronic tension. His approach goes beyond relaxation; he specializes in restoring mobility, relieving pain, and optimizing performance through customized, hands-on techniques.

Ryan Holbert

Ryan


Ryan Holbert is a licensed massage therapist, bodyworker, and certified Accufit Therapist with a deep passion for helping others feel better in their bodies because he knows firsthand what it means to rebuild from the ground up.


With over a decade of experience in massage and bodywork, Ryan draws from a diverse background that blends clinical knowledge with intuitive touch. His approach is deeply informed by both science and personal transformation. Years ago, Ryan faced a life-altering diagnosis: a brain tumor that left him relearning how to walk, move, and reconnect with his own body. That journey, filled with physical therapy, resilience, and self-discovery, reshaped not only his life but also his philosophy as a healer.


Ryan specializes in therapeutic massage, neuromuscular techniques, and advanced bodywork for pain relief, injury recovery, and performance optimization. He’s particularly skilled at working with athletes, chronic pain clients, and those navigating post-surgical or neurological recovery. His training in Accufit therapy allows him to offer a cutting-edge, non-invasive approach to muscle activation and strengthening.


Clients often say Ryan brings a rare combination of strength, sensitivity, and presence to the table - someone who truly listens to the body and meets it where it is. Whether you’re in need of deep restorative work or focused therapeutic care, Ryan’s work is rooted in empathy, precision, and purpose.
