The person behind the practice
Attention before routine.
Blend Bodywork is built around listening closely, making thoughtful adjustments, and treating comfort as essential information.
“You don’t need the right words. Your body tells a story, and I’m here to listen.”
Training
A practice shaped by continued study
Deep training, clear boundaries, and room to be human.
The Lauterstein-Conway
School of Massage
Danielle’s professional massage education began in Austin at The Lauterstein-Conway School of Massage.
Deep massage & myoskeletal study
Continuing education has included deep massage with David Lauterstein and Erik Dalton’s myoskeletal techniques.
Thai Massage & Table Thai
Study with Robert Gardner expanded the practice’s movement, compression, and supported-stretching vocabulary.
Manual lymphatic drainage
Training informed by the Vodder technique supports the intentionally light, rhythmic service offered today.
Conversation
Every visit begins with a discussion of goals, pressure, and comfort, to meet your body’s needs – not a memorized routine.
Teaching
Danielle’s work has included helping lead communities focused on stronger continuing education and practical support for massage professionals.
Life outside work
Danielle enjoys going on adventures with her two kids, is a big anime fan, and reading science fiction while cuddling with her cats and dogs.
