Embodied Movement & Massage Testimonials

  • “When I had painful plantar fasciitis, the stretches that Daniel showed me fixed everything! I didn’t even need to try anything else.”

    Yuki

  • "I cannot recommend Daniel strongly enough. His work is intentional and his presence calming. He really listened to my preferences and worked with my body, my levels of comfort and my history. Our session left me with immense relief and ease."

    Kate

  • “I love Daniel’s Fascia Love class! I have been studying with Daniel for about a year now, and I try to never miss a week of class! Daniel’s Fascia training has changed my body, allowing me freedom from holding patterns I had developed over the years of dance training as well as helping me to slowly work through layers of scar tissue and heal old injuries. This is of course on top of the vanity aspect of now having Michelle Obama arms. Who would have thought stretching would be the best way to toning and defining muscle! I am a true fan!"

    Cathy

Everyone should experience sessions with Daniel."

    Claudia

  • "Working with Daniel is amazing! A compassionate and gifted healer. In my first session I felt so much better after I saw him than when I came in. I had been having some pain in my hips for a few weeks prior, but even just working once, I was pain-free the next day. Definitely recommend! He is professional and kind."

    Megan

  • “I’m so glad I found Daniel and Fascia Training. I came to him with years of back and hip pain and am finding relief through his assisted stretches. Daniel is calm and patient as he leads me through a series of moves that I could not possibly do on my own. Bit by bit, I’m learning new ways to think about my body and my pain is greatly reduced.”

    Pamela

  • "Daniel is amazing to work with! He meets you where you are in your physical journey with empathy, care and no judgement. Can't wait for my next session!"

    Jennifer

  • “Daniel is a pleasure to work with. He’s very knowledgeable, motivational, and understanding. I was introduced to Daniel by my physical therapist who told me that she thought he could add an entirely new dimension to my body’s health and flexibility, and enhance my sports. Within a few weeks of working with Daniel, my tennis pro asked me, “What are you doing differently?” When I asked him why, he told me that I was moving with range and flexibility that he’d never seen from me. My posture improved, I challenged muscles that I could never have worked with traditional training or stretching, and I felt better at my desk. Daniel is a special teacher, and he uses techniques I have not encountered elsewhere.”

    Michael

  • “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

  • “Working with Daniel has restored a lot of my strength when recovering from giving birth. When I began working with him I had lost both muscle memory and tone. With Daniel’s guidance, I have increased my functional strength and all over muscle health. It’s a crucial part of my self care regiment.”

    Megan F

  • "Relieved a whole week's worth of stress. Would highly recommend "

    Alex

  • “I have been working with Daniel for six months and have experienced a wonderful shift in my 69 year young body. Coming from a dance, Pilates, & Gyrotonics background the Fascial Stretch is a great addition to my repertoire! I immediately noticed an improvement in my posture as well as increased mobility and muscular strength. Performing massage therapy daily on dancers has been my occupation for twenty six years. Although I love my work it has wreaked havoc on my body. After just a few sessions I felt the patterns of my repetitive work altering, on a deeper level: physically, mentally & emotionally. It was comparable to being Rolfed. I love, love, love it! Highly recommended!”

    Olinda

  • “Daniel's Fascia Love class has been a game changer for me. This stretch session reaches parts of my body that I did not realize even existed or needed stretching. Overall my body feels relaxed and unstressed after each session. Daniel is a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Daniel's stretch class as an addition to any other exercise routine.”

    Purnima

  • "After hearing Daniel's story of his own journey of healing through Fascia training and his many years of experience in movement and body mechanics, I felt confident having Daniel work with me. After over 13 years of ER Nursing, I've accrued a lot of pain in my upper back. Daniel gently met me where I was and led me through the stretches. After our session, I felt relaxed and had less tension in my muscles and noticed less discomfort. I felt empowered to be an active part of my healing and rehabilitation after years of living with pain and damage to my muscle fascia. I recommend Daniel to anyone needing increased flexibility and movement, and improvement in muscle tense. You're amazing Daniel!"

    Sara

  • “When I first approached Daniel for an introduction to fascia training, I was in great despair and feeling completely desperate for help and guidance. I had been experiencing severe immobility all along my left leg and growing. Soon after departing from my first session with Daniel, I came to experience the elation of not only more flexibility in said leg, but also a considerate amount of interpersonal emotional understanding that was and certainly is existent at the root of the externalized, physical issue. Daniel Mantei's calm, focus, Love and attention provided consistent, astronomical assistance in my process for healing. I am forever appreciative for his work and his being, unconditionally. The stretch work we accomplished together has helped in expanding thy Self, growing forward and further now from deeper, more cavernous, seemingly unknowable, untouched and unwanting to be recognized places…Thank you!”

    Karen

  • “I take Daniel’s Fascia Love class every week. It is helping to open up parts of my body that have become tight and stagnant from repetitive strain at work. After a class my whole body feels activated and replenished, my posture feels better and I feel relaxed. Daniel’s classes are an integral part of caring for my body and mind. My mum practices with us weekly too. Daniel creates a motivating, yet pressure free environment that encourages you to tune in to your body and move with curiosity. We are encouraged to explore and intuitively work to the depth and breadth that we feel we need that day. I really appreciate being challenged, but empowered to trust my own body signals at the same time.”
