Justin Bach

Massage therapist Justin Bach always had a strong desire to help people. Now, 19 years into his career, he is easing the pain and upping the repose of guests at the award-winning, renowned relaxation destination, The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Dove Mountain. Citing deep tissue and sports massage as his specialties, he fell in love with the industry after his first class at Desert Institute of the Healing Arts. “I feel a sense of satisfaction when I see a change in the way a person feels after a massage,” says Bach. “I see a smile on the guest’s face, and they come out of the treatment room with better posture and them telling me that they feel relief and more relaxed.” In the coming year, Bach plans to continue his education within the healing arts, exploring the possibilities of CBD oil (one of the “big booms” in the industry, he says) and even taking a class to learn how to best help those who suffer from fibromyalgia.
