Eben Dodd, LMT joins Deep Roots

Submitted by donna on Mon, 02/04/2019 - 21:06

Though he’s spent the last 20 years in the San Francisco Bay area, Eben Dodd is no stranger to New England. Born in Boston, his grandparents had lived in Putney, Vermont since before he was born, and Eben and his family moved to join them when he was still in high school.

Before moving “back East” in August with his children - Lea, 10, and Ian, 13 - he did some research on jobs in massage work in the area and landed on Deep Roots.

When life gives you lemons ... make sunshine.

Course on protecting hands

Deep Roots Massage was founded on a vision of a working culture that supports lifelong professional development. When Cassie "Sunshine" Sundstrom, a key member of our massage therapy team, suddenly experienced symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, her full recovery was not only a high priority but also a test of our ideals.

Our membership program is open again!

Deep Roots membership has been closed for over a year, because we had reached a point where soon we wouldn’t be able to take care of the members we have. But with awesome new therapists coming on board – including Michael Jacovina, Sean Morrison, and Sarah Bessonett – we’re very excited to be able to make available a limited number of memberships.

We’ve already reached out to everyone who had been on our waitlist, so now we’re opening these memberships to our broader community.

Welcome Sarah Bessonett!
