Philosophy
Danielle reveals that the philosophy of massage is simply the power of touch, and the strength of the clients mind bonding with their body. Danielle deems that the success of pure contentment is the trust between therapist and client. When the client can provide trust they can surrender their mind and body to relaxation, which then synthesizes with the therapists ability to massage deeper and more thoroughly. Danielle has the understanding and skills of the human body to create balance, and she will do her best to communicate with the client by learning their lifestyle to provide the best therapeutic protocol thus leading to optimal health. Danielle’s extensive knowledge acquired from the University of British Columbia and West Coast College of Massage Therapy has equipped her with the gift of treating patients with exceptional finesse.
