River of Light Massage & Healing Arts Mill Valley

Daniel is a body worker who is highly skilled on many levels. His vast knowledge is evident in the style in which he tailors his massage to each individual client. His attention to hygene is above the recommended precautions recommended by the CDC. I felt very safe getting a treatment at River of Light.

Working with Daniel has been a profound experience. A friend referred him to me for massage. It was clear from his website that his healing talents extend far beyond traditional massage. From the moment I decided to work with Daniel, I was impressed with his thorough intake process. The detailed questionnaires highlighted his attention to detail and genuine interest in and concern for things that help me feel safe and things that might detract from that. Through a series of sessions, I have come to know I can bring in a range of physical and even emotional issues and that incredible healing transformation will occur. Daniel has an amazing ability to be the healer while holding space and empowering you to self-heal. The work we have done together has been much deeper than I could have expec

A lack of transparency in what’s being advertised. Answers and descriptions were kept vague when asked what type of massage this is and what is done in the session. The word “massage” misled me. The aim is to release physical pain through somatic exercises to release emotions that can cause physical pain. No hands-on work on muscles/tissue/fascia. No laying down. These are somatic exercises. Perhaps a somatic massage.

Daniel is very committed to the healing of his clients. When I book a session, he is very available, and during the session, I feel hear and supported. The various modalities of massage that he uses is helpful in treating my injuries and resolving trauma. If you are serious about your personal growth, and want something more than a typical massage, please give him a try.

I pinched a nerve in my neck about 5 months ago from lifting weights and in just a few session Daniel was able to get me to the point where I'm now nearly fully back to lifting the amount I did before the injury. Dr. Mike Hack
