David is passionate about health care and health research. He is currently a student of Massage Therapy at Mohawk College, graduating in 2020. He currently works as a freelance researcher and content creator in the field of mental health and psychological health and safety. From his degree in biological anthropology to his studies of massage therapy, David is intrigued in the human body and mind, how it works and why sometimes it doesn't. He loves learning about the body, rehabilitation, psychology, philosophy, culture and science.
