Ammon Dennis CMT, CST

About Me

Ammon founded Inner Harbor Bodywork to help clients discover a sanctuary of stillness and healing through a unique blend of advanced massage techniques and the subtle power of Craniosacral Therapy (CST).

Ammon is dedicated to helping clients unwind tension, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with their natural capacity for healing. Having completed Upledger Craniosacral Therapy Levels 1 & 2 and Foundations of Craniosacral Biodynamics with Stillpoint Craniosacral, Ammon blends both biomechanical and biodynamic approaches in his work.

With over five years of deep tissue massage therapy experience, he brings a strong understanding of anatomy and structural patterns to every session. Ammon’s approach is gentle, attuned, and trauma-informed, creating a safe, restorative space for clients seeking relief from stress, chronic pain, headaches, TMJ, or emotional holding.

After arriving in New York City in 1998, Ammon performed with several modern dance companies and began year-round surfing in the waters off Rockaway Beach, Queens. Following his dance career, transitioning into massage therapy—and eventually Craniosacral Therapy—felt like a natural evolution. With firsthand understanding of the physical demands of both dance and surfing, he is especially attuned to the needs of these communities, offering treatments that are both efficient and deeply informed.

Ammon has recently returned to his home state of California, where he continues his personal practices of heart coherence meditation, surfing, and exploring the wild landscapes of the Santa Cruz area
