Justin Solace,
Certified Massage
Therapist & Educator
Justin Kobbe Solace has been a massage therapist for 14 years, a massage educator for 11, strength trainer for 9 and holds a master’s degree in Kinesiology. He was the program chair of massage therapy at Broadview University Boise from 2011-2014 where he was awarded Faculty of the Year. He has studied with many of the great massage educators of our time and continues to teach across the country alongside his mentor Whitney Lowe.
After over a decade of study and teaching, Justin has realized that many massage workshops teaching therapeutic techniques are not easily integrated into practice. The goals of his seminars are to teach clinical reasoning and technique in a way that all therapists can begin using in their practice the next day.
