Hi, I’m Kevin. Welcome to Peterson Holistic.

For over 17 years as a manual therapist, I have been deeply fascinated by how the human body moves, adapts, and heals. But early in my career, I realized something crucial: chasing isolated symptoms just wasn't enough. If we truly want to resolve chronic pain and tension, we have to look at the whole system.

That realization led to the core philosophy of my practice: Fascial Reintegration. You are not a collection of disconnected parts. Your body is held together by a highly intelligent, bioelectric network called the fascial web. Think of it like a complex suspension bridge—when one area gets tight from stress or injury, the entire structure shifts to carry the load. In my clinic, I don't just aggressively force a tight muscle to release. Instead, I blend evidence-based science with an intuitive, multidimensional touch to help your entire fascial system reorganize, find balance, and heal from the inside out.

My journey to this work started in the laboratory. With a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and a Master’s degree in Integrative Health, my goal has always been to bridge the gap between hard science and holistic intuition. I believe that understanding the cellular biophysics of the body allows us to apply manual therapy with far greater empathy and effectiveness.

Today, my professional heart is split between two incredible roles.

I deeply love working one-on-one with my local clients here in West Des Moines, Iowa, partnering with them through therapeutic massage and lifestyle medicine to help them live active, pain-free lives.

I am also the proud Founder of the Fascia Mastery Academy. Through online curriculums and live, in-person CEU seminars, I teach and mentor fellow manual therapists, empowering them to master the Unified Fascial System and elevate their own clinical practices.

Whether you are a client looking to finally feel at home in your body, or a fellow therapist ready to master your craft, I am so glad you are here.

Let’s create space for true healing.
