We’re thrilled to share that Star Dynamic Wellness founder Scott Oglesbay Doss was recently featured in VoyageATL Magazine, a publication that highlights inspiring local entrepreneurs and creatives shaping Atlanta’s community. In his interview, Scott opens up about his journey—from teaching bodywork in Australia to being nominated for the World Massage Hall of Fame—and how his passion for osteopathic manual therapy continues to guide his mission to help people move, feel, and live better.
At Star Dynamic Wellness, we believe healing is both an art and a practice — one built on curiosity, compassion, and connection. Our founder, Scott Oglesbay Doss, embodies that philosophy in every aspect of his work. Recently, Scott sat down for a feature interview where he shared his journey, his values, and a few lessons learned along the way.
While teaching two Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy workshops in Australia, Scott received news that would take him completely by surprise: he’d been nominated for induction into the World Massage Hall of Fame. The announcement came mid-class via FaceTime, as his colleague insisted on sharing the moment in front of his students.
“The shock must have been written all over my face,” Scott recalls. “Honestly, I never aspired to recognition like that — I just wanted to help more people help others.”
The moment was humbling and deeply affirming. For Scott, it wasn’t about the honor itself, but about what it represented — a validation of years spent learning, teaching, and mentoring others in the art of osteopathic manual therapy and advanced bodywork.
Before founding Star Dynamic Wellness, Scott’s career looked very different. He spent years working for an international tour operator, managing complex logistics and customer experiences across the world. Those roles honed his ability to think critically under pressure, solve problems with empathy, and communicate with people from all walks of life — skills that now shape his approach as an osteopathic manual therapist.
“The heart of it is the same,” he says. “Meeting people where they are, creating a sense of comfort, and helping them navigate challenges with compassion and clarity.”
In 2022, Scott launched The Bodyhood, a co-working space designed specifically for massage, bodywork, and chiropractic professionals. His vision was to create community in a field that can often feel isolating — a place where practitioners could collaborate, learn, and grow together.
But the path wasn’t easy. “It took nearly three years before I broke even,” he admits. “There were moments of doubt and even a battle with insomnia. But I kept reminding myself to take it one day, step or breath at a time. It’s funny, but the mantra ‘If you build it, they will come’ really kept me going.”
Through perseverance, mentorship, and the support of colleagues, both The Bodyhood and Star Dynamic Wellness grew into thriving wellness practices serving clients across Decatur and Sandy Springs, Georgia.
When asked what suffering taught him that success never could, Scott’s answer is deeply human: patience, perspective, and the courage to ask for help.
“I learned to work smarter, not harder,” he reflects. “To lean into collaboration and to remember that no one builds something meaningful alone.”
Scott is passionate about elevating awareness of how osteopathic manual therapy fits into the broader healthcare landscape. “Too often, the power of skilled touch is dismissed or overlooked,” he says. “Massage isn’t just about relaxation — it can support recovery from injury, relieve chronic pain, and improve quality of life.”
At Star Dynamic Wellness, Scott and his team specialize in advanced manual therapy techniques that integrate osteopathic principles with clinical precision. These therapies focus on restoring alignment, improving mobility, and enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal itself — helping clients move, feel, and live better.
He envisions a future where manual therapy and osteopathic approaches are recognized as essential components of integrative healthcare, complementing physical therapy, chiropractic care, and medical treatment to create truly holistic outcomes.
Despite his busy schedule, Scott is learning to practice what he preaches. These days, he carves out time for workouts, nature walks, and moments of stillness. “Self-care isn’t just advice I give — it’s something I need to put in my schedule, too,” he laughs.
For Scott, success isn’t defined by accolades or growth metrics, but by connection — to his clients, his students, and his community. “I’m still a work in progress,” he says, “but I’m learning to slow down enough to enjoy the view along the way.”
Star Dynamic Wellness offers osteopathic manual therapy, massage therapy, and advanced bodywork at two locations in Decatur and Sandy Springs, GA. Founded by Scott Oglesbay Doss, the practice focuses on restoring natural mobility, relieving pain, and helping clients move and live better through compassionate, evidence-informed care.
