Diane Lane

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST

Experienced. Thorough. Compassionate.

I didn’t grow up thinking I would become a massage therapist, yet, it turned out to be my natural gift from God. As a young girl, I massaged my mother while watching Sonny & Cher, so I’ve had a lifetime of experience.

I am proud to share with you that since 2001 most of my clients have said that the massage they received from me was the best they’ve ever received. I attribute this to having nearly two and half decades of professional experience, along with being presented with a myriad of health issues and concerns from clients over the years. As well, I am certain I am one of the more thorough therapists out there. I am not afraid of your body and I have been receiving massage since I was 22 years old. I know what I like, desire, and expect. And I bring that to the table for you.

I have clients I have seen weekly, monthly, or seasonally for the entire time I’ve lived in the heart of Sarasota. I also see a lot of people who are here on vacation. Located in the 100-year-old treasure of Miramar Plaza on South Palm Avenue, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a lot of different clients. I will do my best for you to have a wonderful experience, as well with a massage customized to meet your specific needs. After all these years…I still love what I do, and I believe you will too!

I was born in Denver, Colorado and lived there until 1990. Prior to graduating Metropolitan State University ~ Denver with a BS in Marketing, I spent a year and a half traveling around the world. After graduation, I spent a year in Japan teaching English Conversation. Upon my return to America, I moved to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where I started a family. I have two beautiful daughters, Dakota and Emily Rose. They are the light of my life and give me reason to live. Being a stay-at-home mom at the time, I chose to attend classes for massage therapy at DoveStar Holistic Therapies Institute and became licensed in January 2001. Once licensed, I opened my own practice at White Hall Yoga Studio in Beaufort, South Carolina.

I still love to travel the world, but every time I return, I am delighted to call this place my home….it’s just so beautiful. And, I believe you would agree 🙂

My Mission Statement: Travel the world with my Love to see my children, friends, and family, facilitating classes and retreats for couples who wish to love, connect, and grow through touch.

Recognized for Excellence

I believe in continually honing my skills and expanding my knowledge as a massage therapist. These awards and accolades are a testament to my commitment to excellence and my passion for helping others experience the transformative power of touch. It’s always an honor to be recognized for doing what I love, but the greatest reward is hearing how my work has impacted my clients.

Kind Words from My Valued Clients

Diane was exactly what I needed and hoped for!! Her beautiful studio was so relaxing, and the combination of stretches and massage was wonderful. I had been carrying a lot of tension in my shoulders and hips, and I felt absolutely relaxed afterward. On top of that, she got back to me so quickly and was able to squeeze me in an appointment the NEXT day (during season in Florida!). I am so grateful. Thank you so much, Diane!

I took a chance and booked with Diane based just on reviews and local awards and I'm so glad that I did! She was excellent, professional and personable. I was very impressed with her experience and I felt very assured that she knew what she was doing. I had a pretty annoying knot that she worked out and I felt 100x better after an hour with her. I would definitely recommend and will be a repeat customer. Thank you Diane!

I’m here in Sarasota working as a photographer on an 8 day project, a very physical photo shoot. The first day my crew noticed I could not stand up straight due to back pain - everyone was asking me how I hurt my back? It was that obvious....Someone on set recommended Diane for a good massage. Without question I called and made an appointment. I saw Diane yesterday and had amazing massage. After she managed to get my body to relax and got me look warmed up she did some stretching which released my back pain and gave me such relief! I left her office feeling 5” taller, very relaxed and feeling great! I highly recommend Diane for massage! I’m going back for another their visit in the next couple days!
