Meet Dannielle “Danni” Mares, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), certified yoga instructor, and Reiki Master, Danni brings a unique blend of healing arts expertise and personal transformation to our practice. She offers a comprehensive approach to wellness that addresses the body, mind, and soul.
A Path of Transformation and Purpose
Danni’s path to massage therapy began with her own healing journey in 2005 when she started practicing yoga in Chicago. This spiritual awakening led to a pivotal moment in 2009 when she chose sobriety after 23 years of self-medicating with alcohol.
“I wasn’t willing to put myself through that pain and torture anymore.”
After leaving the high-end luxury sales world, Danni discovered her true calling in the healing arts. As a potter who loves using her hands, she found massage therapy to be a natural fit for her tactile nature and desire to help others heal. She completed her massage therapy training at The New School for Massage Bodywork & Healing in Chicago, where she discovered her natural gift for energy work.
Holistic Approach to Wellness
What sets Danni apart in the field is her comprehensive understanding of how the body, mind, and energy systems work together. As a Reiki Master who has completed levels 1, 2, and 3, and holds master teacher certification, she brings an intuitive energy component to her massage work. Her yoga instructor background allows her to provide clients with specific stretches and postures to support their healing between sessions.
Diverse Background and Intuitive Practice
Describing herself as “a bit of a free spirit,” Danni has lived and practiced in various locations, including Chicago, San Diego, and Costa Rica, bringing diverse perspectives to her practice. Her highly intuitive nature, combined with extensive training in anatomy, deep muscle work and energy work, allows her to provide personalized treatment plans that address each client’s unique needs.
