Minnehaha Massage

Sep 2025

From the moment I texted Dan to set up a massage, he was quick to respond and was able to get me in the next day for a 90-minute massage. He was transparent about the pricing and let me know in advance that there is dog therapy with the appointment. =) After easy parking on the street corner, I walked through the front gate and was immediately greeted by Dan's sweet, gentle dog Bruno followed by Dan. Walking through the door of the home I instantaneously felt at home and comfortable in his massage suite. As Bruno cuddled up to me, Dan sat down with me to go over the areas of concern and what areas of my body that I was comfortable with being massaged, along with confirming my preferred pressure. During the 90-minute massage, Dan would check-in about my comfort and pressure throughout. I received a full body massage. In addition, I had a special request for Dan to also give me an abdominal massage, which is wonderful to help relax and calm the brain and body through the parasympathetic system. For those wondering, abdominal massage is not a standard massage area for Dan but can be a very welcome addition to those that have gone through a lot of stress, have digestive problems, or are recovering from post-partum. Before leaving, I made sure to set up follow up appointments with Dan and purchased a gift certificate for an upcoming giveaway at a seminar I am hosting for my patients and the community. As an added bonus, Dan also does two-hour massages. If you are looking for a massage therapist who is caring, thorough with great technique for firm, deep tissue massage, Dan is the massage therapist for you.
