Scott Hatch

Scott draws on a lifelong involvement in athletics and performance to inform his massage practice. He has been an endurance athlete for 19 years, having competed in hundreds of triathlons, cycling events, ski races, and running races.  Scott enjoys bringing massage to larger communities, regularly speaking with athletic teams and performance groups. 

Scott's work and training has given him the experience to provide massage for various worldwide productions, taking him backstage at performances by artists such as:

• Cirque du Soleil
• Blue Man Group

Scott has provided massage at a variety of events, including:   

• University of Minnesota: "A Healing Touch," an event organized by AHC Multicultural Society to help medical, nursing, and dental students reduce anxiety and Ace their exams.
• Best of the US Triathlon Championships 
• SCS Multisport Base Camp
• SCS Ironman Wisconsin Camp
• American Heart Association/American Stroke Association - Scott provided hundreds of massages for many marathoners over 4 seasons of a team training program. 

Scott became a believer in the power of massage when he discovered the benefits of therapeutic bodywork first-hand 20 years ago.  Scott has relied on massage to keep him healthy and injury-free since running cross-country and track in high school. 

Scott is passionate about wellness and fitness.  He has raced 12 Birkebeiner ski marathons, and in 2008, he finished in 2 hours and 48 minutes. Tai-Chi has been a regular part of Scott's training for 16 years.

Scott has held positions as Nordic Skiing Head Coach at The Blake School and Assistant Coach at Patrick Henry High School, and has taught swimming classes at the Blaisdell YMCA.   

Scott took the scenic route to massage therapy. He studied Philosophy and English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, started an internet company in 1995, worked in the private sector for 8 years, returned to school for the M.Ed. program at the University of Minnesota and taught high school English.  He founded Quantum Massage Works in 2004. Though he enjoyed the path that led him to bodywork, massage is by far Scott's favorite work.
