Core values

Honoring the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of this work. This means that I encorage your empowerment as an equally important contributer to your health and well being. Your enthusiast consent is the first step in this process. I am client centered and recognize that receiving caring attention is deeply healing in its own right. In order to fully reap the benefits of this work, deep relaxation is required. I will do everything I can to earn your trust so that you can get the very most out of your massage. It is an honor to work with each and every one of you!

About Luke

Luke Gutgsell LMT #22316 graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts in 2016. Prior to this he earned his BFA in dance from the Ohio State University and also studied at the Naropa Institute and completed a 200 Yoga teacher training from Sonic Yoga. Luke’s experience dancing professionally has added much depth of empathy and understanding for those who are in pain or have physically demanding lifestyles. As well, dancing has given him an approach to massage which is particularly lyrical with emphasis on smooth and fluid transitions. Luke identifies as queer and has a special affinity for this population. He is also deeply interested in the burgeoning field of psychedelic therapy and believes that bodywork can be an excellent method of psychedelic integration. Outside of massage Luke loves to spend time in nature and immerse himself in music and dance.
