Beyond the "Band-Aid"

Traditional massage can sometimes feel like a temporary fix. Our work together facilitates lasting change by moving beyond simply a muscle or fascia focus to incorporate a whole-person, nervous system approach.

Informed by a modern pain science lens, I hold and support you to help you shift the deep bracing patterns of your neuro-myo-fascial system. Massage does not have to hurt to be effective; by prioritizing comfort, safety, and slowing down, we help unwind tension and pain so you can move with ease.

Informed by 15 years with the American Ballet Theatre, I combine a unique understanding of movement, training, and touch to help you feel better and move with greater confidence, curiosity, and joy.

From the Stage to the Wellness Studio

My name is Daniel Keene (he/him). My evolution from 20 years as a professional dancer to clinical massage therapist was driven by a fascination with how the human body navigates high-performance demands, recovery, and chronic pain.

I combine my lived, embodied experience with a modern understanding of pain science to help you feel better and return to a state of resilience and ease.
