David Ireland entered into the field of massage therapy after a long career as a pressman for the Buffalo News. Massage therapy was an opportunity to do something completely different that involved more fun and excitement than working around a huge press. However the career span of a traditional massage therapist was rather short due to the wear and tear on the hands. David discovered through a magazine article that feet can be used for massages through the technique of Ashiatsu®. Having been a runner who competed in marathons and triathlons David thought this technique could help athletes stay injury free . " I decided to do it because I wanted to give something back to the athletes,"

Ireland completed an 18 month massage training course through the New York Institute of Massage. While completing the program he explored the technique. He was convinced of its positive effects after he received a massage using the modality Ashiatsu® that left him feeling good for three weeks.

David went on to study the modality by taking a Barefoot Basics seminar from Ruth Hardee. After that David gained his Ashiatsu® certification in Newport News, VA and completed advanced certification in St. Petersburg, Fla. According to David he has gone as far as he can with the training.

David's depth of training, enthusiasm for the practice of massage thereapy and skills with the modality make his massages the deepest most luxurious massage on the planet.
