Dakota graduated from Axiom Career College in Saskatoon in 2023. He was born and raised in Saskatoon and is a practicing member of the Massage Therapy Association of Saskatchewan.

Dakota became certified in myofascial cupping in October 2023 and Pre/post Natal Level 1 Massage in 2022. Further education involves obtaining certification in manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) in the months following. He is always adding new skills and finessing old ones to better serve the individual needs of the public.

When Dakota is not working at the clinic, he spends his time with family and friends, free diving, and rock climbing. The best way to spend money is to travel and experience new cultures.
