Healing Haven Massage and Wellness

11/13/2024

To our Healing Haven Massage & Wellness friends and our Rochester community at large,

In light of the outcome of the elections, we recognize this is a dark time for so many of us. We share in your grief and frustration.

We want to take this time to once again express our values of anti-racism, support for people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ friends, inclusion, and our ongoing commitment to our most vulnerable.

We stand with you. We are committed to being a supportive, healing space for everyone.

There are a wide variety of definitions and ways in which people understand healing that have medical, spiritual, and indigenous roots. We at NEP believe that healing is a holistic process and journey to restore and experience health and wholeness to one’s mind, body, and spirit.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our friend and colleague Teale Dominas. Teale passed suddenly and unexpectedly on May 27th, 2023. Our deepest condolences to all Teale's family and friends.

I've known Teale for more than 20 years and been blessed with her friendship since the time we met; those who knew her, knew the instant affinity for her spirit. She was a lovely person who will be missed by all.

Teale was such a joyous, caring, passionate soul who touched everyone she met. She was commited to helping all those around her in addition to her client care. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to laugh, make amazing food that she loved to share; we were all joyful recipients of her treats. She loved her cats. She loved gardening. She loved playing games.

We are all deeply effected by her loss and grieving at this time.

Teale's Calling Hours will be this coming Wed June 7th from 4p - 7p with her Services starting at 7p at New Comer Funeral Home on Empire Boulevard.

RIP Teale. We love you!

• reduces stress and anxiety.
• promotes better sleep
• boosts immunity
• relieves autoimmune disease and cancer symptoms.

Drink lots of water to stay hydrated during your day, and especially after therapeutic massage and bodywork.

Happy Autumn, all!

LEAVES

How silently they tumble down
and come to rest upon the ground
to lay a carpet, rich and rare,
beneath the trees without a care,
content to sleep, their work well done,
colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly,
until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
to wait, like children, for the snow.

Dave's back!

We're so happy to announce Dave Gucker is back! We love you, Dave! For your Sports maintenance and injury repair needs, call today to book your session with Dave. He has morning hours Monday through Fridays.

We look forward to getting you on our books!

Dave Gucker, BA, LMT

Dave earned his license for massage therapy in October of 2003. From 2004 until August 2012 he developed his passion for therapeutic and medical applications of massage. Dave specializes in sports massage and has been helping his clients recover from and prevent injuries, perform at higher levels in their athletic careers, and eliminate daily aches and pains.

Dave's sessions involve more than just giving his clients a massage. In the process of identifying and treating whatever brought them in, he also educates his clients about potential postural and ergonomic stresses unique to their sport and recommends stretching and/or exercise regimines that are appropriate to healing and preventing future injuries.

September 1, 2012 Dave joined Healing Haven Massage and Wellness. He retired in 2021 and we are happy to announce he returned in October 2022. Dave looks forward to bringing his skill set to you and continuing to grow and help you improve your life.

In addition to being a licensed massage therapist with an expertise in Sports Massage, Dave has extensive experience as an athlete and understands the athlete from a personal perspective as well as from a professional massage therapists perspective. His sports training and experience is listed below:

Martial Arts:
Dave has been training in the art of Isshin Ryu Karate and Kobu-do since 1991, and has helped teach the style since 1994. In 1995, Dave earned his first degree black belt. In April, 2011 he was promoted to fifth degree black belt. Dave acted as head instructor at the Webster/Penfield location of Murray's Martial Arts Centers until 2019.

Endurance Races:
In 2011, Dave stumbled across a new brand of race that struck his curiosity; the Warrior Dash a 5K "trial run"/obstacle course on the side of a ski mountain. He was hooked. His bucket list now includes more events along these lines: Warrior Dash, Spartan Race, Tough Mudder, RunforyourLives, Renegade Playground Challenge, Civilian Military Challenge, and many more! Dave has tentative plans for RunForyourLives coming up next May and for his second Tough Mudder December 2012.
