Integrated Movement Therapy

BUT WHAT IS INTEGRATED MANUAL THERAPY?

For years I have been calling it “Private Yoga,” but the name no longer feels appropriate for the way my private clients and I have been working lately… So, now I offer “Integrated Movement Therapy.” I like it!

An integrated movement therapy session may include techniques and approaches from the various modalities listed below. Movement based sessions are usually done on your yoga mat. I work with clients and tailor sessions to meet their unique needs and goals whether it be core and mobility work so they can run marathons into their 70’s, move out of chronic back pain, improve their golf game or just a really great, bespoke 1:1 yoga session with lots of great assists.

Modalities

  • 1:1 Yoga

    A custom vinyasa (or yin or restorative or slow flow or likely a blend) yoga class based on what you need that day. Can be 1:1 or great for couples or a few friends who want more individualized attention in their practice.

  • Core Work + Personal Training

    We build on the strength you develop in core work and yoga and add bands and dumbbells to continue to work stability and move into hypertrophy (getting stronger!)

  • Myofascial Release

    I almost always incorporate some manual therapy/massage for my 1:1 movement clients. I will also guide you to use tennis/MFR balls or a foam roller and other tools to release and self-massage areas of chronic tension in the body.

  • ...and more!

    Breathwork, meditation, craniosacral therapy, training for running and specific sports/movement patterns. We work together to figure out what you need most in our time together.

I see clients at my office in Needham Center on Tuesdays 10-3, Wednesdays 9:30-5:30 and Fridays 10-5:30. Online booking is available 60 days in advanced and my schedule tends to fill up 4-6 weeks out. To get text notifications of last minute openings, text “alert” to 833-265-7212.

  • “As a die-hard athlete dealing with crippling back pain, Danielle has been an absolute lifesaver! Over the past 3 years I’ve worked with every type of medical, physical and psychological specialist there is, and Danielle’s detailed knowledge of yoga, anatomy and biomechanics, myofascial release, breathing and relaxation, and overall function and mobility is as impressive as any of them. I work with her privately a minimum of 3 days per week, and she has an incredible ability to use her multidisciplinary expertise to customize every session, seemingly down to each individual muscle fiber. She is consistently able to identify and solve complex issues, and has brought me back to athletic performance levels that seemed completely impossible 6 months ago. Words cannot describe how appreciative I am of everything she has done for me, and how impressed I am with her expertise.”
