David Holburn​

Massage Therapist

​

David is a professional and experienced massage therapist who lives in Bonnyrigg with his wife and 2 young children. Originally from Edinburgh, they moved out of the city 5 years ago to facilitate a passion for outdoor pursuits and have not looked back. David and his family often spend their free time exploring the scenic walks on their doorstep in and around Midlothian. 

Since graduating from Edinburgh University in 2005 with a BA in Community Education, David has followed his passion to support others by working in various homeless and youth services. Having the opportunity to support some of the most vulnerable members of society has enabled David to develop the necessary skills to approach his massage clients with high levels of empathy and humility. 

Studying with Scottish Massage Schools to achieve his Diploma in Swedish Massage and Remedial & Sports Massage has provided David with a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of human anatomy, physiology and how each of the systems of the body can be affected by the range of massage techniques. David’s own experience of the benefits of massage began over 20 years ago when he turned to remedial, sports and deep tissue treatments to help manage lower back pain and to maintain his joint function and flexibility.  

With his sound theoretical knowledge and extensive personal experience, David aims to work with clients in a holistic way to assist with recovery and improve their overall health and performance through massage.
