Meet Doreen Ellinwood – Founder of The Doreeno Method
At The Doreeno Method, we believe that massage therapists deserve the same level of care and attention that they give to their clients. Founded by Doreen Ellinwood, a licensed massage therapist since 2005, our mission is to provide high-quality Continuing Education (CE) courses that prioritize injury prevention, career longevity, and effective body mechanics.
Doreen has been training massage therapists for nearly two decades, helping them refine their techniques while protecting their own well-being. In 2023, she became an accredited provider with the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB), allowing her to offer CE credits for massage therapy classes.
The Doreeno Method Approach
Our philosophy is simple: massage therapists shouldn’t have to sacrifice their own bodies to help their clients. Each course is designed to help therapists deliver powerful results while maintaining safe, efficient body mechanics that prevent injury and prolong their careers.
We focus on in-person, hands-on training because immediate feedback is essential for mastering new skills. Every class is engaging, fun, and never overly formal, creating an environment where therapists feel comfortable asking questions and refining their techniques.
