Dana Danielson

Dana has a way of integrating several styles and techniques of massage and cranio-sacral therapies to address individual problem areas. She chooses the technique that will be the most effective for that particular visit. Very experienced and intuitive!

Ok. I admit that at first I was a little skeptical. After all, I've had Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue for 14 years now, and most of my massages thru those years have been "hands on", doing myofascial release and stretching. However, I had a couple CranioSacral (CS) sessions a few years ago, and they were ok so I said "yes" to Dana. I had no idea that that decision would be one of the best I've ever made. I'm gravity-challenged: I fall a lot. It's part of the Fibromyalgia. So when Dana started doing CS in me it was after a recent & particularly painful fall. I'm also overweight, so when I hit the ground I hit HARD. Think 6.5 on the Richter scale. I was dubious that CS could help with my pain from that fall, and the Fibro, when Dana wasn't actively kneading my muscles. But I said Yes to the CS, and away we went. Basically I laid there and she lightly touched very specific parts of my body while encouraging me to relax and soften each part. So, I did. And IT WORKED!!! I could feel a gentle vibration sometimes, almost like a pulsing, and the area Dana was working on would relax. Sometimes I felt a lot, sometimes a little, sometimes nothing. That is normal, I learned. I also learned that the CS work "continued" in my body hours after I left Dana. Sometimes I would feel an ache or dull pain, sometimes a vibration or a pulse. I learned that gentle movement, like making circles with my arms, legs or torso, helped to stop the ache. My body was telling me it was still adjusting to the CS work and trying to help itself. So... I continue to go - for almost a year now, and it's working wonders. I still have Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue and I always will, but Dana's experience and growing expertise with CS therapy is greatly improving my quality of life. Please try it, if it's offered to you, and keep an open mind. If you trust Dana she will not disappoint you.

Yesterday, I received an amazing bodywork session from Dana, which included Craniosacral Therapy and Gua Sha. For several years now, I have had a chronic shoulder condition nagging away at me to stop and take care of myself. During the session with Dana, I experienced tension leaving my body. Today I worked hard without any limitations and even had the courage to jump up onto a tall bed of a truck without hesitation. Amazingly, I slept well last night and feel full of vigor today. I will go back for a follow up session in a couple of weeks. With Dana's good work, I feel like there is hope for repairing the imbalance that I have been dealing with. Thank you SO SO SO much, Dana!
