Daniel exhibits a rare combination of knowledge, skill, and intuition, especially for something as difficult to understand and execute as TCM and, specifically, tuina massage. I have been to many TCM practitioners as well as massage therapists, both in the States and in Asia. Daniel is the real deal. He uses modalities traditional to Chinese medicine, such as cupping, in addition to the “push-grab” techniques of tuina massage. At the same time, he’s clearly well-versed in other, more typical, massage techniques, like pressure point and myofascial release. He synthesizes what he knows, and then uses the body before him to guide him towards a plan of action. The overall effect is profound. The body releases more than just physical pain; it lets go of emotional blocks as well. He has my hard-earned respect.
Daniel is a skilled and legitimate body worker. He's incredibly accomplished in his craft. Educated in multiple modalities and brings a lot of care and knowledge to his sessions. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs nuance and individual care in their body work sessions. A true body talker.
Daniel is a great therapist and health educator! I’ve struggled with mysterious back pain for years. Tried many therapies and massages. Not only has he helped identify what could be going on, but taught me some great stretches and other lifestyle changes I can make to help alleviate the pain. I feel like a have a much better grasp on how to manage and am not in pain nearly as much as I used to be. Highly recommended.
He is truly a holistic healer. I received bodywork from Daniel before the stay at home order began. His knowledge and skill go beyond the average massage therapist. I walked in for muscle relief in my hamstring and walked out with much more. My entire body felt refreshed, I slept through the night for the first time in months, and I was able to process emotions from a more grounded place. I felt stable, secure, and home in my body again. What I wanted was muscle relief, but what I needed was more spiritual/emotional grounding. Over the next couple weeks I was able to grieve the multiple loved ones I previously lost and remain connected to my body. A good healer can offer you what you want. It takes a gifted individual to treat what you want and see what you need. Daniel is a gifted healer. When you are ready for true healing, relief, and an opportunity to grow then he is the person you want to see.
Daniel’s wisdom on how the body works and doesn’t has help me in so many ways. He has helped me with pain and discomfort in my back along with moving my chi in order to have more flow. I appreciate his skills and will be back for sure soon!
