"Daniel exudes calmness and peace and is my ultimate go-to massage therapist! I had my first session from him while he was enrolled at the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork in Kauai where he now helps teach and to this day, have received no less than than ten additional sessions at his hands! I've learned a lot about the human body, and how traumas and experiences are held and stored in the muscles. At the time of my first session with him, I had a lot of pain in my body for various reasons, there had been a few serious car accidents in addition to years working behind a desk at a computer and other injuries picked up along the way. I've had several massages before, however none that have ever come close to his! He deeply assisted in the release of past traumas with trigger point therapy and some connective tissue therapy. Before my first session with Daniel, all my parts and limbs felt extremely segmented and all contained their own pains and issues but thankfully and to my great delight, after just one session I walked away from the massage table feeling like one strong, pain free singular being. My body felt 'whole' for lack of a better word. I had no idea living without the physical pains I had felt for so long was even possible and I left the massage table completely transformed! His touch is attentive and fluid and always at just the right pressure. The strokes are highly specialized and extremely effective. Treat yourself right and go with him for your next massage! I cannot recommend him highly enough!"

"Daniel's therapeutic massages are some of the best I've ever had; possibly the best; and certainly the best locally (Redwood City). I highly recommend him for his low key manner, his strong but careful hands, his concern for one's condition, his knowledge of massage and the body and his great intuitive capability. Above all, I recommend him because of the beneficial results I've experienced after his massages.

I've been dealing with lack of mobility issues and often severe back pain due to an injury to my lower back that occurred about seven weeks ago. It has been a long, slow recovery, even though I was in great shape just prior to the incident and I have tried to do all I can do to recover from this condition as quickly as possible. Several weeks ago, I sought out a good, local massage therapist to help with my recovery. Daniel was recommended to me at that time through Baysix, though I usually prefer a female to work on me. First, we thoroughly discussed my situation. He listened intently and I believed that he understood my somewhat fragile condition and that he would respect my concerns. I was initially worried that having the wrong deep massage would worsen my condition but I also wanted a reasonably deep massage to encourage angry muscles to loosen up and to awaken inactive supporting muscles and generally speed up recovery. He worked diligently on the mess of misfiring nerves and uncoordinated muscles in my back and neck for an hour.

The massage felt great but the real proof of his capability was just how good my back and neck felt the following 2 days. I felt better than I'd felt since before the injury! Much better. Up to that point, my recovery had been very slow, though the PT was beginning to stabilize my lower back. I couldn't believe that I could feel, and actually be, so much better so quickly after a single massage.

Daniel has worked on my back, shoulders and stiff neck several more times since then and I can say that the first time was not a one-off. His philosophy and practice of how to give deep tissue massage without the usual resultant pain afterwards has worked for me and has truly helped me further my recovery at a much faster pace. Daniel is easy to work with and seems like just a genuine, nice guy, as well. And, he's very knowledgeable. If you want, he will help you understand what's going on with your condition so that you can help yourself heal beyond the sessions."

"Daniel is an amazing body worker and has helped me heal from various different running injuries. He is very in-tune with his clients and provides a service beyond the common massage. I can't go to anyone else! Highly recommend!"

"Daniel is an informed, intuitive, strong and sensitive bodyworker. I have received many sessions from Daniel, and I am so grateful for this. He deeply listens during sessions – to words, and also to the tension, release, and messages in bodies. He pays attention each moment and holds space for whatever might be important or real for those he is working with. And he pays attention with openness and compassion. His touch likewise is strong, reflecting the knowledge of the body he possesses, and at the same time also sensitive and responsive to the different needs of each inch of tissue in each moment. I learned a lot about myself during my sessions with Daniel, felt the release of tension and ease within my body, and felt truly cared for by Daniel’s presence and compassion."
