David M. Lobenstine, BA, LMT, BCTMB, has been massaging, teaching, and writing for over 15 years. He is a licensed massage therapist, and a graduate of Vassar College and the Swedish Institute of Health Sciences. He has massaged across the gamut, from the US Open Tennis Tournament to a hospice, from a wellness center to too many spas to count, and now feels very fortunate to run his own private practice in New York City, Full Breath Massage. His work is a blend of Swedish, deep tissue, and myofascial; each session is built around facilitating the client’s full, easy breath, and facilitating the client’s own somatic awareness. Lobenstine is an authorized teacher of the Pre- and Perinatal Massage Therapy workshops, and is a am a co-author of the third edition of Pre- and Perinatal Massage Therapy (Handspring 2021). He is also a regular writer for Massage & Bodywork magazine and MASSAGE Magazine. He also designs and teaches his own continuing education workshops, both around the country and online, at Body Brain Breath. His aim, for his clients and students and readers, is to encourage us all to inhabit our bodies more fully, so that we can do the things we love with greater ease and effectiveness.
