Beyond the "Band-Aid"

Traditional massage can feel like a temporary fix. Our work together facilitates lasting change by moving beyond a simple muscle focus to incorporate a whole-person, neuro-myofascial (brain-muscle-fascia) approach.

  • Comfort Over Force: Informed by a modern pain science lens, I partner with you to help shift the deep bracing patterns of your nervous system. Massage does not have to hurt to be effective.

  • Working Inside Out: By prioritizing comfort, slowing down, and utilizing touch that communicates deep safety to your sensory receptors, we unwind persistent tension and chronic pain so you can move with ease.

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.

    “Daniel's Fascia Love class is amazing. It introduced me to a new way of thinking and experiencing movement. I had never thought about the fascia tissue covering our muscles. Focusing on the fascia with simple but powerful exercises has increased my strength and flexibility. Daniel is a wonderful teacher, and I recommend his class to all." Lisa
