Maggie Dill first became aware of the act of relieving tension through massage therapy in her early high school days, when she would offer to give foot baths and rubs to friends who had been on their feet for long periods of time. She continued this behavior well after those days, and became quite fascinated with the functions of the human body, striving to intuit anything she could from different sensations and kinesthetic movements. She realized, at some point, that she could actually make her living off something that she loved and identified with so much.

With a lifetime background of ballet, dance and body alignment, her understanding of the muscular system allowed for a career in this field to become an inevitable choice. She began her training at Santa Barbara Bodyworks in Santa Barbara, Cali., studying under the instruction of the superbly talented and highly respected Michael Antrim, CMT. It was in this community where she was also fortunate enough to practice the extraordinary modality of visceral manipulation through the direction of Matt Lynch, the exceptionally knowledgeable founder and director of Santa Barbara Bodyworks and co-creator of Compressive Deep Tissue, an extremely effective modality that she is also thankfully able to offer.

She has since learned many different types of bodywork from Mckinnon Body Therapy Center in Oakland, Ca, including deep tissue, reflexology, pregnancy and infant massage, and specialty chair work. She is a former exercise instructor for The Dailey Method®, a bay area barre workout class which places a strong emphasis on correct orthopedics, injury rehabilitation and core strengthening. She is a current Foam Rolling, Strengthening and Self Massage class instructor. Read more about Maggie’s offerings here.
