About this pro
My business stands out because your ability to live your life comfortably matters to me.
And that begins even before the first time we meet, when we’re texting or speaking on the phone for the first time.
You see, as unusual as it may sound, you and your quality of life begin to matter to me the very second that you become a client or patient of mine, and your ability to operate your body and live your life with ease, and move around and engage in the activities that matter most to you — with minimal effort and maximum flexibility, AND comfort — all matter so much that I’ve dedicated my days and occasional nights to them.
I believe that if I treat your skin, muscles, nerves, connective tissues and emotions with the respect, sensitivity and consideration that I know _I_ deserve, then not only will you be able to live an exceptionally comfortable life, but you’ll keep coming back, and referring your friends, co-workers and family members to me. (And when you do that, then _I’m_ able to live a comfortable life, too!)
So... what can you expect if you decide to become a client of mine?
Well, first of all, you can expect to be listened to _and_ heard, and be completely respected, regardless of your age, gender, fitness level, cultural, religious or sexual orientation or identity, any physical challenges, limitations or disabilities, or the amount of melanin in your skin. You can expect the man responsible for your care to be someone who’s highly trained and constantly learning more, who’ll be aware of and both sensitive and responsive to the subtle differences between your stressed or injured tissues, while working on you as a massage therapist, or your circumstances, while working with you as personal empowerment coach and/or energy worker, and who will really and truly be interested in how much better he can help your world to be, both during your session, itself, and during the days and weeks that’ll follow it.
And you can expect that I will do my level best to make each and every session you ever receive from me one of the finest massages you will ever experience, without undue pain during it or marked discomfort, afterwards.
But there’s one subject that occasionally seems to need clarification, and that’s the subject of “personal boundaries”...
Out of respect for both you and I, there are five areas of the body that I don’t come in contact with during the course of my massages, and these are the eyeballs, mouth, breasts, genitals and anus.
(Enough said?)
Thank you for understanding.
The thing I love most about my work (and that keeps me inspired to keep offering it) is how people come to my office complaining, with their bodies and/or spirits either in pain or visibly tense, and/or struggling with limited ranges of motion, and then leave, 60 to 90 minutes later, in far greater comfort and ease, smiling from ear to ear, and moving so much more freely that they're practically floating!
And on top of all that, I even get paid for it! How could it possibly get any better than that?

I am extremely happy I went to Massage Horizons! Doug was amazing! I'm a competitive powerlifter and have been struggling to get relief from a variety of issues. After a short phone conversation, Doug came into the appointment with knowledge and understanding of my issues. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a knowledgeable,relaxing massage
Oct 15, 2018VerifiedDouglas T.'s replyThanks, Sabrina! What great feedback!! (And, best of all, it’s coming from someone who knows her way around the human anatomy better than most, which makes your words just that much more valuable! See you again, soon, Doug

I have not had my massage yet but Doug responded immediately and prevented me from doing something potentially dangerous to my health. I appreciate his honesty, knowledge and the fact that my well being was more important than the mighty dollar. I will be using his services when I am cleared by my physician.
Sep 29, 2018VerifiedDouglas T.'s replyThank you, Kathy! You know, of all of the reviews that I have ever received, I think that yours is my all-time favorite, because of how effectively it communicates who I am and where my values lie to all future readers. So, thank you again, immensely, and please know that I look forward to doing everything possible to get you out of pain and moving comfortably and effortlessly as soon as possible! All my best, Doug

Doug is very knowledgeable and took time to explain everything he was doing. Made me feel very relaxed. Wasn’t rushed
Aug 31, 2018VerifiedDouglas T.'s replyI’m glad I was able to get you out of pain and out to your flight on time and in comfort, Todd. Thanks again for entrusting me with your challenges, and for the great review, afterwards! Hoping to see you again on your next visit, Doug
Nikita S.
Got a massage the same day I asked for availability! It was a great massage with awesome techniques. Will definitely be going back!
Jun 12, 2018VerifiedDouglas T.'s replyThanks for that great review, Nikki! It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with you (both times, now), and I look forward to seeing you again, later on this month! All my best, Doug

FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?I base my fee structure on an incredibly simple principle: the more time or effort the work requires of me, the more I expect to be compensated for it. As such, my fees for traditional Swedish-style relaxation massage are less than those for Deep Tissue or injury-specific Medical massage techniques, and these, in turn, are a bit less than those for potentially life-changing modalities like the Access Bars and Energy Facelift) and/or Personal Coaching. For Outcall work (within the comforts of your own home or office), I just add 50% (with a $100 minimum). My fees, then are as follows: TRADITIONAL MASSAGE THERAPIES: 30 minutes = $50 60 minutes = $75 90 minutes = $110, and >90 minutes = $100/hour ---------------------------------- DEEP TISSUE & FOCUSED POINT (TRIGGER POINT) WORK: $32.50 per unit of 15 minutes. ------------------------------------ ACCESS: THE BARS, OTHER ENERGY PROCESSES and LIFE COACHING: 30 minutes = $75 60 minutes = $125 90 minutes = $185 >90 minutes = $150/hour ____________________ OUTCALL APPOINTMENTS WITHIN 25 MILES OF STOUGHTON, MA: Add $25.00 to above rates. (NOTE: a $100 minimum applies to all outcall appointments, to compensate for travel time and expenses). This formula applies to any of the above services, when performed within the comfort and convenience of your own ground level or elevator-serviced home or office location. In order to address your needs as comfortably and effectively as I can, I will provide the massage table or chair and stool, plus the necessary linens, towels, bolsters, digital stereo system, either lotion, cream or oil necessary to facilitate the required techniques for a successful session and, if the climate dictates, a regulated heat pad. For any service location that does not offer either easy ground floor or elevator access to the treatment room, special arrangements may need to be made. Please call in advance, to discuss these.)
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?Well, I have them begin by filling out one of four different intake forms (I've created slightly different forms for chair massage, basic relaxation massage, physician-prescribed medical massage, and life coaching). Then, I take the time to ask them about what's been going on in their bodies, and/or their lives, to be fully present and focused in on their answers, and to let their comments, their bodies and my experience inform me as to how best to approach their long or short-term treatment.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?Yes, constantly! In addition to being a voracious reader of books and trade journals, I attend both physical and virtual classes and am constantly renting or buying DVDs on new techniques, and sharing and comparing them with other therapists I meet.
