“If people say massage works ‘because it makes you feel good’ … excuse me! “Massage works because it changes your whole physiology.” Tiffany Field, PhD professor of pediatrics and psychiatry.

With too many years sitting behind a desk I decided to make a change. I have always wanted to get into the health field and when I went to a massage therapist and they were able to assess and stop the numbness and tingling in my hand and arm, which my medical doctor was not able determine the cause, because it was sporadic. After this experience I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up!

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Coaching services

by Regina on Oct 13
Darryl is so knowledgeable on what causes muscle pain from posture to medication to poor sleep.In less than TWO minutes my chewing muscles, my neck, my back and my legs felt better and he was just working my chewing muscles! His techniques are definitely different than anywhere else and I have had massages all over the world, it is almost like voodoo magic. Last but not least he is very caring, he listens and it shows. The means a lot to me.

I met Darryl in 2015 when he was a student and I could tell then that not only was he good at massage, but he cares a lot, which is why he is always learning and I knew he was spiritually gifted before he did. I know you are going to read this and I want you to think about it. What Darryl needs to learn is that he cannot help everyone because not everyone needs help. He needs to learn to ground himself, because he absorbs the pain of the body and souls of those he is trying to help and it hits him hard and I can tell that he is down before he even says a word. Thank you for being great at what you do and for helping me and many others

Had a lymphnode massage - the first time i had one was a few years ago and it worked great - i carry a lot of water weight and it helped me get rid of it quickly! Plus helped any inflammation i had to reside. This time we also focused on my posture to help my back pain Thank you! I feel great

Darryl does so much more than a regular massage therapist. He isolates problem spots in the body, teaches you what is going on there, and then works on the problem(s) in both direct and indirect ways. As an MD student, I'm very impressed by how knowledgeable he is and how well he integrates that knowledge into his practice. He listens both to you *and your body* about which techniques help you most, when you need more vs. when to stop, and what else you may need to address or do at home for yourself. He can do the 'feel-good' things that you'd expect when you get a massage, but he can also do so much more that that so that your massage is genuinely productive and physically therapeutic. I always sleep SO well afterwards and feel a significant difference in whatever issue I came to him with (for me, it was upper back tightness + TMJ pain from stress/studying the first time I saw him & then a long time later, calve tightness/plantar fasciitis pain). He's very good at what he does and super passionate. I recommend him to everyone I know and honestly I feel like I've been spoiled & I'm SO glad I found him; I'm never going to want to go to a regular massage again, lol.

Darryl went above and beyond to make sure that my main complaints were addressed.
by Larry on Jul 08
It became obvious Darryl has a LOT of understanding about the body and how it works, and he tuned in very quickly as to what was happening to mine. The icing on the cake was that he talked about what he was doing and why, during the entire process. The only downside was that it was all over way too soon. The upside is that within 24 hours, I felt better in my problem areas, than I had for 6 months. Running upstairs and then having pains in my back actually had me wondering if I had a lung or heart problem, which turned out instead to be overworked muscles and related issues. He also showed me ways to take care of myself. If I ever need another tune-up, I know where I'll be going.
