MASSAGE THERAPY - Therapeutic sports massage

Hope Ackerly, LMT

Hi! I am Hope Ackerly, CEO of D2H + I work at Marist College (D1 school) with the student athletes + I just worked at the OLYMPIC SWIM TRIALS.

I have been practicing sports medicine for 10+ years now. As a Licensed Massage therapist since 2012 I have worked in a variety of settings to be able to find my specialty and passion. It wasn’t until working in a CROSSFIT gym of (4+ years) that I discovered my love for sports medicine. I have taken numerous Continuing Education Courses such as

  1. Sports Massage certificate

  2. Cranial Sacral

  3. Tui Na

  4. AIS

  5. Travel Care Specialist

  6. Tok Sen

  7. Emotion Code

  8. Rolfing

  9. Quantum Healing

  10. Reiki level 2

  11. CF-L1

  12. NCSF-PT, + more

I am always a forever student who strives to improve my craft constantly. My style is quite unique and very meticulous and detailed. I’ve incorporated a bunch of techniques I’ve learned such as myofascial massage, Graston, Cupping, Trigger point therapy and more to create a one-of-a-kind experience. I play detective to find solutions to alleviate the client’s concerns and problematic areas based on body reading, gait analysis and visual/intuitional senses I’ve acquired over the years.

MASSAGE THERAPY - SWEDISH + SPORTS

Geoffrey Curtis, LMT

Graduated (2024)

From bodybuilding roots to massage therapy, my journey has always been shaped by a passion for physical fitness and helping others feel their best. Growing up, I had a front-row seat to the world of competitive bodybuilding—my mom competed in the '80s, and my dad was her coach. This early exposure to fitness gave me a deep appreciation for the human body and its potential, as well as the ability to guide friends and family through physical challenges, whether through mechanical solutions or behavioral changes.

While my career path has been anything but linear—roofing as a family trade, pursuing engineering, exploring nursing at SUNY Orange, and finally landing in massage therapy—it’s in massage therapy that I’ve truly found my calling. Each twist in the road has given me unique perspectives and skills, allowing me to bring a well-rounded approach to my practice.

Currently, I specialize in Swedish and sports massage, cupping, and trigger point therapy. My love for learning means I’m constantly exploring new techniques to expand my repertoire and better serve my clients. Whether it’s helping someone recover from an injury or preparing an athlete for peak performance, I tailor each session to meet specific needs.

My ultimate career goal is to work with an Olympic training team or a national sports team. I’m driven by the idea of helping athletes fine-tune their bodies to perform at their best, and I know that working in such a dynamic environment would deepen my understanding of the human body and propel my career to the next level.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me staying active through weekly workouts—because a healthy body is essential for a healthy mind. My unique journey and diverse experiences make me adaptable, innovative, and passionate about finding the best solutions to help others achieve their physical potential.

Hi! I’m Snappy!

I am a 5+ year old Boston Terrier and my favorite things are chasing balls and any toy you will throw. I am super friendly to humans and may jump on you when you arrive. I also like to lick pants, pull on shoe strings occasionally because I am just so happy to see you. I recently went dock diving and loved it so much! I am super fast and my mom calls me the energizer bunny because I won’t stop even if Im dying. Im a super adventurous Gryffindor and am excited to be the mascot for my mom’s practice! I look forward to meeting you!
