Words cannot describe how AMAZING Daniel is! But I will try... Today was my first "massage" with Daniel.. I put massage in quotes because Daniel's level of expertise, care and overall true passion for helping and healing people is out of this world! My "massage" was so much more than I could even imagine... I have had many massages where I think they are bettering me maybe but they never have and I have often wondered if the person massaging me even knows what they are doing... but not Daniel! I knew he knew what he was doing and I could feel that he knew what he was doing. I have suffered from neck, shoulder and abdominal pain for years and went through several massages and thought how I felt was just the way it was and I would only have moments of relief during the massages.... Today it is like my world was changed!! I couldn't be happier to write a review because man this guy is seriously magic!.. Words really can not describe how amazing my "massage" was, I left feeling like I was a foot taller and so lite I could fly away. Wow! Just Wow! I highly recommend Daniel at Plauche Massage Therapy if you want to change your world! Thank you so much Daniel! read more

Daniel gave me a great massage, and he was able to provide me with a lot of information about my body.

Learning more about my body and what I should be doing going forward is what I was looking for, and that is what I received. Not to mention, I walked out of his office feeling super light.
