Danielle AhMaiua (pronounced "Ah-May-You-Ah") discovered the healing benefits of touch while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kiribati, a small island country in the South Pacific. Inspired to learn bodywork, she first trained at the Ashland Institute of Massage and later expanded her practice to include Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy. Originally from the Each Coast she now considers Bellingham and the Pacific Northwest her home. In addition to massage, Danielle enjoys writing, dancing, and making meals.
