Mike's Testimonials:
I booked an at home massage with Mike after I had my daughter and it was the best treat any new mom could ask for. Mike was so lovely. He listened to my concerns and delivered the most incredible 60 minutes of relaxation and helped relieved all of my tension from breastfeeding and carrying a growing baby. I cannot wait to book again and highly recommend to anyone who is on a similar journey.
-Kat, newborn parent
Run, don’t walk to make your appointment at Tree of Life Healing Arts! I’ve been seeing Mike about once a month since my second was born and it has made all the difference. He customizes each massage to target specific areas and helps relax my entire body. My husband also sees him regularly - especially after long flights and long commutes. Mike is extremely professional and the absolute best in our area. I cannot recommend him enough!
-Blair
Mike is the best! My in-home prenatal massages were amazing. I looked forward to every appointment because after the massage I felt so light and ache-free and the feeling would continue for days after the massage. Both Mike and Danielle are very professional, yet extremely personable, and truly know what they’re doing. Highly recommended!

My search for the perfect deep tissue massage is over-Alexa is the best!

Alexa strikes the perfect balance, and I leave feeling so much better!

Danielle's Testimonials:
As a first-time mom, I had a lot of questions when it came to breastfeeding / lactation. I'm so glad I set up an at-home consultation with Danielle! Not only she answered all my questions but also she recommended a few alternative breastfeeding positions that worked for me and my baby and helped with navigating pumping with finding the right flange size for me. And I was lucky she was available for a same-day appointment, so I got set up for success a couple of days after we came home from the hospital. Highly recommend!
-Maria, new parent
"My daughter and her partner have met with Danielle several times and have learned so much: basics of childbirth, breast feeding, child care; etc. Additionally, the exercises Danielle suggested to move the baby in the breached position worked! She is knowledgeable, patient and so caring. My daughter is feeling more prepared, relaxed and confident."
-Ellen, Grandmother
I’ve seen Danielle for prenatal massage and for a private labor prep course. Both services were amazing! She comes to your house for both services, is very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be around. I highly recommend working with her!
-Lena, expectant mom
My partner and I had a great experience taking the child birth education and newborn care class with Danielle. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional and answered all our questions and concerns regarding delivering our first child together. She gave us a personalized experience, provided a thorough visual and performative demonstration of several topics including the many stages of labor, helpful pain management techniques for delivery, and exactly how to care for your little one when he or she arrives. I would highly recommend for first time parents as we now feel more prepared as we await our baby’s arrival.
