Dr. Robert Curtis has been a practicing sports chiropractor in Bellingham since 2006. He specializes in functional movement assessments, rehabilitative exercises, soft tissue therapies, and creating lasting changes in how a patient functions and exists in their world. He is a “fixer”, not a “2x’s a week for life” chiropractor, and wants to get to the bottom of a person’s health issues. He utilizes skills from his training in FMS, SFMA, DNS, ART, and Graston to build patient’s back to better function and quality of life. His experiences as a collegiate rower, and the sports-related injuries he has incurred, including disc herniations and surgery, give him a unique perspective on diagnosis, treatment and management of many health conditions.

Barbara has been helping clients stay healthy and active for over 25 years. She understands the desire to live free from pain in order to do the things you need and love to do.
On any given day, her clients can include people recovering from injuries/surgeries, navigating chronic pain and/or illnesses, working to maintain an active lifestyle, or managing the demands of work and high intensity sports.
Barbara’s approach to bodywork is based in the John F. Barnes method of Myofascial Release; a non-injurious, non-forceful modality designed to address pain and restrictions at their source rather than simply masking the symptoms. Since no lotions or oils are used, it can be performed while dressed in lite loose sports attire or while undressed & draped.
She is also certified to perform Intra-oral massage- a modality used in the treatment of TMJ disorders, headaches, neck pain and other conditions.
In addition she has training in and experience with Swedish, Deep Tissue, Peri-natal, Myofascial Release, Mindfulness, Reiki, Sports Massage, Craniosacral Therapy and Abdominal Massage.
Barbara truly loves her work. Watching her clients move from limiting and painful restrictions to centered strength is deeply gratifying . She enjoys getting to the root of a problem and is grateful to be an integral part of a healthy lifestyle.
Barbara is a mom to two wonderful children. When she is not helping you feel better she likes to read, hike, garden, watch movies, see live music and theatre and volunteer.

Hannah came to bodywork as an ecologist, adventure athlete, and outdoor educator. Leading groups in remote wilderness settings presented her ample experience working with students through their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health concerns, and gave her an intimate understanding of the power of Nature to support healing. Holistic healthcare and working with natural systems to support wellness remains a high priority in her massage therapy work.
In addition to massage, she is finishing her practitioner training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) through the Human Development Center in Bellingham. Hannah also trains in psychosomatic therapy through movement, Constellation therapy, Eastern healing traditions, and Somatic Coaching.
Hannah specializes in treatment oriented massage that upholds BCST principles of working with a client’s nervous system, honoring their inherent treatment plan, and practicing deep listening. Her own inquiry into intuitive touch has led many clients to comment on her unique style of massage and integrated improvements in their health. Hannah currently offers deep tissue, sports, Swedish, perinatal, postpartum, and lymphatic drainage massage, as well as BCST.
In her free time, Hannah loves dancing Brazilian zouk, growing food, making art, and spending as much time outdoors with loved ones as she can.

Dawn Whittington, LMT
Helping you heal and live your best life through therapeutic massage. My journey into massage therapy began with a lifelong passion for health, wellness, and helping others thrive. With a strong foundation in fitness and holistic health, I believe in the body’s remarkable ability to heal—especially when given the space to rest, reset, and restore.
Dawn’s mission is to support individuals in living their best lives by calming the nervous system and facilitating the body’s natural healing processes through therapeutic touch. As an intuitive massage therapist with a deep understanding of anatomy and body mechanics, she takes a thoughtful and personalized approach to each session. Dawn focuses on identifying the root cause of pain or dysfunction and meeting each client exactly where they are on their wellness journey.
Her range of techniques includes Swedish Massage for relaxation, Range of Motion Techniques, Tapotement, Vibration Techniques, Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Cupping, and Neuromuscular Therapy.
Dawn has proudly called Whatcom County home for over 16 years. She serves in the Army National Guard as a musician and has studied trumpet for more than 30 years. Her community involvement includes recreational soccer and previous work in law enforcement and homeless advocacy—experiences that have deepened her understanding of resilience, compassion, and human connection.
Her path to massage therapy became personal after suffering a major line-of-duty injury that left her with limited arm mobility. Through therapeutic massage, she experienced a complete, pain-free recovery —an outcome that sparked her passion to help others find the same kind of healing and relief.
When she’s not working with clients or fulfilling military duties, Dawn is likely out in nature—playing soccer, backpacking, biking, trail running, or hiking the mountains with her beloved Mini Aussiedoodle, Koda. Whether in the clinic or the wild, Dawn brings a grounded presence, a servant’s heart, and a deep commitment to lifelong learning to everything she does.
