Danni is incredible. Her massage and Reiki work are deeply healing, and her spiritual guidance is intuitive and thoughtful. After every session, I leave feeling lighter, aligned, and deeply restored. Highly recommend to anyone looking for true mind-body care!
I’ve been seeing Danni weekly for chair massage for almost a year now, and it has been truly life-changing. Her skill and care have helped me release deep muscle tension while also giving relief from anxiety and depression. Each session not only leaves me feeling physically lighter but also gives me greater peace of mind. What I especially appreciate is how she aligns her work with my broader health goals, even supporting me along my weight loss journey. Danni’s massages have become an important part of my overall wellness routine, and I’m deeply grateful for the calm, balance, and clarity she helps me find every week
It was an absolute gift receiving a Reiki session from this incredible woman, and it was so much more than I expected. The session itself left me feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded in my body — like something heavy I didn’t even know I was carrying had gently been lifted. But what really sets Danni apart is the wisdom she brings to the experience. She didn’t just work on my energy; she helped me understand it. Her presence is calm, intuitive, and deeply knowing — the kind that makes you feel safe enough to open up and truly receive. If you’re considering a session, take this as your sign to say yes! Danni’s insight and care go far beyond the physical — she’s a true healer in every sense.
"For years I have experienced pain, soreness and stiffness in my right shoulder, neck and back. Have a couple knee injuries on my left and right knee, not to mention torn ligaments in my right ankle. Years of problems and pain while dealing with PTSD. Due, mostly, to my experiences as a Marine combat veteran. I have been to the VA to see doctors, physical therapists, to try to get some help and there was some relief but nothing permanent. I kind of gave up hope. After meeting Danni and telling her my experiences I felt, since I've never tried it, massage therapy might work. Danni suggested we try Reiki instead. Although skeptical, we set up an appointment and after my first session with Danni I have never felt so calm and relaxed or at peace. Also, after years of living with my issues, by the time I was getting ready for bed I noticed something interesting, my shoulder and neck finally had some much needed relief. Danni is absolutely amazing. The positive energy you feel is strong and comforting. I can't wait for our next session."
If you could wave a magic wand to create the perfect combination of phenomenal massage and energy work you’d end up with Danni. From the moment we met I felt with complete confidence that I was in the most capable hands possible. Danni’s knowledge of pain management, how a body works and what is needed to help, combined with her use of energy work is spectacular. I recommend Danni to anyone looking for the ultimate professional massage and/or reiki treatment. Superb. I see Danni every two weeks and the results are miraculous. Thank you Danni.
Danni has ethereal energy, full of positive vibes and spot-on intuition. I have enjoyed recent Reiki sessions with Danni and experience a great deal of clearing and leave feeling much lighter. She is a master at assisting her yoga students in relaxing their minds, bodies and souls. I am so blessed, grateful, and honored for our connection and feel very comfortable with her and her energy. ~Jeanette Woyner
Danni is a wonderful Yoga instructor, Reiki practioner and massage therapist. A professional and caring person who listens well and provides appropriate instruction and care. She walks the talk and I'm grateful that our paths have crossed. You'll be well cared for by Danni.
Such a wonderful massage and Reiki experience! Danni's focus and holistic approach to alleviating sources of tension have been fantastic and some of the best treatments I have received. She provided helpful explanations and information regarding the muscles and massage process. Danni is very friendly and a true professional and passionate about her craft.
I received a 90 minute massage from Danni and it was so relaxing and healing. I've had knee surgery and sometimes get very nervous when my knees get massaged, Danni was very careful and implemented Reiki Touch around the area. It was very calming. The room is inviting:clean, filtered light and filled with aromatic scents from the oils she uses. You will not be disappointed with her special touch and warm heart!
I have seen Danni for several months now and of all the massages I have had over the years she is the best one that I have seen. This is a profession for her and not just a job to collect a payment. She is a good listener and a great communicator. I don’t usually give 5 stars but you will see what I mean after your first appointment., thank you for your commitment to your professionalism. Glen
