Our Service Concept & Professional Background
 When you put yourself "in our hands" at A New Dawn, you can expect your mind and body to achieve a state of balanced well-being and peaceful relaxation, as we promote healing.
Our peaceful setting will enfold you like a sanctuary. The atmosphere will be serene, private and unhurried: we don't schedule consecutive appointments, unless two clients specifically request it. This also ensures that you will always have our complete attention.
At all times your personal information is kept strictly confidential and your personal privacy is completely respected.
A New Dawn Therapeutic Massage was founded by Donald Raskin, PhD and Mary Raskin, RN in June, 2002.
Donald -- after a successful career developing high-tech products for companies in the US and Europe and co-authoring a ground-breaking technical book -- came to realize how rewarding it was for Mary to be able to provide one-on-one help and comfort to people in need of Nursing care. With Mary's encouragement, he enrolled in the Professional Massage Therapy program at the School of Body Therapies in Yardley, PA, where he has studied Deep Muscle Therapy, Acupressure, Reiki, Reflexology and Aromatherapies. He has also studied and practiced various aspects of Sports Massage and has developed a program for rejuvenation of skin and muscle tissues of the face.
 While living in Europe, they visited spas in Germany and Italy, which supplemented their experience in Big Sur, California.
Donald is a Member of the American Massage Therapy Association and
is certified (NCTMB) by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
He has received training from the Egoscue Method University and
practices Michael Young's Muscle Release Technique.
