Daniel has spent over 20 years engaged in the world of healing arts. Starting from the early 2000’s as a yoga teacher, he then added massage training from the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy in 2005 to his repertoire. Always seeking to deepen in his knowledge of healing the body-mind-spirit continuum, he decided to enter what was then the TAI Sophia Masters of Acupuncture program where he studied acupuncture and the power of language and healing presence in the treatment room. Combined with 8 years living abroad, with much of that time spent living amongst indigenous peoples whose medicine has always been holistic and rooted in nature, Daniel brings a very eclectic perspective to the healing process. He recalls a night on the island of Eua in the Tongan archipelago: “There were no medical doctors on the island, however I had been living with a medicine woman and her many children for quite some time and felt as one of her own. One night a fever I had been battling, became so intense I could hardly open my eyes and began to move in and out of vivid hallucinations. She took me into the main room and began singing and chanting in Tongan while wiping away the sweat from my body with a cool damp cloth. She would alternate between this cloth and an herbal compress she had made. When the sun broke over the horizon the next day, she was still there softly singing and smiling down into my eyes. The fever lifted and I walked down towards the sea as if I was adrift on a cloud, my body light, fluid and full of a palpable energy. This sensation stayed with me for days, but the memory has remained for decades as vivid as if it had been yesterday.” It is that same energy that Daniel hopes to share with everyone who seeks his care.
