Jonathan Dawson - Registered Massage Therapist

After 30 years of practice, my approach to treatments has shifted. My availability is no longer on a regular schedule, as I balance hands-on work with other responsibilities supporting our clinics and team. I add appointments as time permits, so openings often appear on short notice.

If you’d like to book with me but don’t see any available spots, feel free to send me an email—I’ll do my best to accommodate you!

I work alongside a dedicated group of therapists who are here to help you feel your best. If you’re new to the clinic or looking for recommendations, I’d be happy to help connect you with the right therapist for your needs.

Thank you for trusting us with your care. We’re here to support your health and well-being.

Warm regards, Jonathan Dawson Past Tense Massage Therapy
