Your Practitioner - Way Therapeutic Massage

Communicating overall wellness through massage is a way of life for Don. Having spent many years working in a heavy labor industry, Don has learned the value of therapeutic massage in his own life.

“A lot of people grow up thinking that being in pain is a natural part of the aging process” I’m here to change that perception.” Don stresses that pain is not a natural progression, rather an indicator to help your health team focus on a wellness and treatment plan. Part of that plan can, and should, include regularly scheduled massage sessions.

Don Way graduated from Anne Arundel Community College’s (AACC) Therapeutic Massage program in December 2012. He continued his education at AACC, completing the associates of sciences program and graduating with honors in May of 2015. Anne Arundel Community College is a fully accredited, nationally recognized, public, two-year institution and the largest single-campus community college in Maryland. AACC is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.

Don is nationally certified through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). The NCBTMB’s exam certification programs are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). The NCBTMB is an independent, private, nonprofit organization founded in 1992 to establish a certification program that would uphold a national standard of excellence in the field.

Don holds licenses to practice massage in both Maryland and Virginia and is a proud member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).

When Don is not helping his clients, he can be found in the classroom furthering his education. Outside of the classroom, Don enjoys spending time with his family, volunteering in his community, hiking, running, playing and writing music and is an avid fan of tabletop gaming.

Don sums up the goal of his practice “Individualized client care with the goal of managing your overall muscle heath and reducing your stress; ultimately, helping you achieve a better, more relaxed you.”
