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, assistant instructed Kinesiology and tutored anatomy there, and later certified in Ashiatsu Oriental Bar therapy.

She believes integrating the mind and body is essential to achieve a balanced state of health and well-being. Danielle is a dedicated and passionate student of dance, meditation, mindfulness, and compassion. Originally from the East coast, she now considers Bellingham and the Pacific Northwest her new home.
