Dhahabu R. Bellard, CMT

Dhahabu is an avid reader and dedicated to furthering his education as a life long study of the whole being approach through manual medicine (Massage Touch Therapy). He has always been a teacher, by nature; before formally becoming a Massage Therapy Instructor, he took an active role as an intermittent light, leading by example, incorporating good health and wellness into his life.

He believes in sharing Information with his clients to advance their holistic health and total wellbeing. Since the beginning of time, a skilled nurturing touch has allowed people to find the innate power to transform their lives, through the body’s natural restorative healing mechanism experienced through Massage Touch Therapy & Holistic Wellness.

Dhahabu’s philosophy on health care and wellbeing has always been prevention, his motto; “It’s Easier to Stay Healthy Then to Get Health”. If we identify and manage our stress (dysfunction) before it becomes a disease we will live, happier, healthier, and longer lives.

He has worked in many spas and chiropractic offices in the Los Angeles county area and is objectively knowledgeable about the benefits; a team approach he has towards the client’s wellbeing. Research from (TRI Miami University School of Medicine) has proven that massage therapy supports and aids in total balance of the body, by suppressing the stress hormone (cortisol). Time along with research has also shown that when homeostasis is disturbed or abnormal (stressed) for frequent periods of time and not managed, illness and disease will result.

His passion is to educate people about the factual positive balancing effects of massage therapy for stress management and holistic well being. And the aspects of the importance of it to the medical community, that it needs to be incorporated into health care because its interchangeable and just as, if not, more as, effective as, diet and exercise for our total health and wellbeing.
