Buccal Intraoral Facial 8-Week Series Before & After Photos and Model Testimonial

-Model 1- Buccal Intraoral Facial 8-Week Series Testimonial-

"I cannot say enough kind words about Danielle.  I have been a client for over 10 years and privileged to have a massage on a regular basis (every 4-6 weeks).  The whole body massage has greatly improved my physical and mental health wellbeing- sleep, emotional regulation, migraines, anxiety, muscle tension, and aches/pains.

Massage is truly my migraine prevention.  I have tried prescription medication to help migraines- but have gotten side effects.  I hated having to navigate provider appointments months out, prescription pick ups, disappointing insurance coverage, and potential side effects of migraine medications.

So, massage has become the most impactful part of my treatment plan for less migraine days.  I was so excited to be a model for the buccal massage series- despite having a dentist made mouthguard and taking way too much ibuprofen- I would have TMJ symptoms to the point my teeth would ache and I'd get tension headaches (not full blown migraines, but enough of a headache I'd have to take ibuprofen). 

After just ONE session I saw noticeable cosmetic results- slimmer neck, snatched cheekbones, less puffy eyes, and less of a head tilt (I didn't even realize I had).  The TMJ relief was noticeable but not as significant as the cosmetic results at this point.  

Midway through our series, I had 1.5 weeks between two sessions because of a family event- and I could feel my jaw tension.  So, I started to use my guasha tool a few minutes a few times per week to help maintain the results.  This was incredible and truly helped the magic of Danielle's hands last longer.

By week 7 I realized it had been WEEKS since I reached for ibuprofen and just how much my tension headaches and jaw pain improved.  I couldn't remember the last time my TMJ symptoms flared enough to cause my teeth to ache.  All of this I correlated with the buccal massages (and I definitely had some stressful things happen in life during this series that would have sent my head and jaw into a tailspin).

So, as a person who gets regular whole body massages, the 8 series buccal massages were TOTALLY worth experiencing!

Cosmetically, my face appears slimmer and more symmetrical, and less of a "tech neck" side profile.  I have significantly less TMJ symptoms and tension headaches.  (I'm sure my kidneys are thanking me with needing less ibuprofen too).

The 8 week series was such a reset for my jaw and facial muscles.  I will continue to spend a few minutes, a few times per week using the guasha tool to maintain the improvements.  Moving forward, I'm adding buccal massages every few months in addition to full body massages because it has been so impactful to my overall health.  

Highly recommend trying the buccal massage series!"

"I can't say enough about Danielle's buccal massages.  I had a buccal massage in the past with someone else, and it did not even come close to Danielle's holistic approach with intraoral work, cupping/scraping, and face/neck massage.  I have been grinding my teeth and dealing with TMJ symptoms for as long as I can remember.  Now in my 50s, it's really taken a toll and I lost a tooth because of it.  I knew something had to change to save my teeth, so I turned to Botox thinking that was the only thing that could help me.  I was wrong.  After completing an 8-week buccal massage series with Danielle, the pain in my teeth and clicking of my jaw has virtually vanished.  In addition, the work that Danielle did on my neck and jaw had a surprising bonus- it took away my lower back pain.  Every time I went in for the massage, I had lower back pain, and each time I walked out it was gone.  Literally gone.  (Who knew the jaw muscles are connected to the pelvic/back muscles?).  And, I absolutely loved the facial cupping and scraping, not only for the esthetics and the overall benefit to my immune system, but because it is ohhhh so relaxing.  Danielle's gently approach ensures you get all the health benefits while allowing you to relax and rest.  These buccal massages will absolutely be part of my regular health routine going forward."

    -"Danielle was just what my sister needed to soothe her aching muscles as she has had limited mobility as a result of a medical issue.  Not only did Danielle help her physically, but their conversation was engaging, supportive, and soothing to the soul."  -- Shari B.  

     -"Danielle was an absolutely fantastic masseuse.  My wife and mother-in-law received at-home massages as gifts and they both said Danielle was extremely good and notably better than several massages they've had recently (which also includes some in Paris, Berlin, not only in the Madison area).  Danielle was intuitive, compassionate, and just damn good at finding little kinks that they didn't even know they had.  Highly highly recommend!"  -- Logan W.

     -"I typically have to use a male massage therapist, as I have a muscular back and I need them to get really DEEP in my tissue and even some men can't do it right but Danielle, one of the best massages I've ever had!  She is tiny but when you close your eyes, you'd think there was a 6'2 250lb man working on your deep tissue massage.  That takes skill.  She is now my go-to therapist and I highly recommend her."  -- Charles M.

     -"Danielle is very thoughtful is her approach to individual needs and problem areas.  She spends time before and after sessions to go over questions and tailor the session.  The room and table were at a comfortable temperature and the space is relaxing.  Her prices are more than reasonable in my opinion."  --  Scott H.

     -"Danielle has an amazing understanding of the human body and the muscles/joints connect.  She also gives suggestions on stretches/ personal care in helping reduce or eliminate problem areas.  That's important for my wife and I as we are active participating in endurance races lasting up to 6hrs.  Best therapist I've ever had!!"  --  JJ P.

     -"Danielle saved my back! And my husband's!  I booked a massage more than a year ago out of curiosity and concern of my neck/shoulder/back pain without knowing a thing about massage or Danielle.  The first deep tissue massage blew me away.  My neck and shoulder pain eased and went away, thanks to Danielle! Of course her massage does more than that.  My lower back and calf have improved so much.  I also learned a few good habits along the way.  Danielle is responsive, punctual, and professional.  She always listens, answers questions, and gives great suggestions.  I am so lucky that I found her!"  --  Min L.

     -"Danielle is amazing at sports massage.  Preventative for injuries and great deep tissue.  She is also a perfect human being - love her!"  -- Kristin I.

     -"Danielle is amazing!  Due to COVID, I don't feel comfortable going to my regular massage place.  I felt so lucky to find Danielle who was able to come to my house to provide me with a quality massage.  Not only was it super easy to set up an appointment, Danielle showed up on time and was a joy to talk to.  She researched my medical condition to provide me the best possible massage.  I always get nervous with new massage therapists, since I have chronic pain, mobility issues, numerous surgical scars of varying sensitivity.  I need a particular type of massage, and Danielle listened, adjusted, and provided the perfect pressure and techniques.  She was professional, yet approachable and easy to talk to.  Her price is comparable to most other massage services and the best part was that I didn't have to leave my house and deal with braces and crutches.  Danielle also followed COVID precautions, wearing a mask, washing her hands, and offering to let me use my own sheets on her table.  Obviously keeping 6ft of distance was not possible, but I feel she was as cautious as possible.  You won't be disappointed if you hire Danielle."  --  Kate S.

     -"She definitely knows how to give massages.  You can tell she has been doing it for years."  --  Anthony B.

     -"Outstanding deep tissue massage!"  --  Corey V.

     -"Great therapeutic massage! Highly recommend!"  --  Sarah B.

     -"Danielle gave me a wonderful massage today.  She spend some time listening to my areas of concern, where I was experiencing discomfort and was totally professional.  I've had recent surgery and she applied just the right amount of pressure in all the right spots.  I came home more relaxed and with less discomfort than I had walked in with to her office.  I'm very pleased to share such a positive experience with others through this review."  --  Gael D.

     -"One of the best massages I've experienced.  Excellent service, comfortable atmosphere."  --  Alan J.

     -"Amazing! Can't wait to get another massage!"  --  Andrew F.

     -"Danielle has been so amazing to work with! I contacted her for a massage gift for a family member.  She was extremely prompt in all correspondence and so accommodating when we had to reschedule the appointment.  My family member said the massage was absolutely wonderful and could not have gone any better.  We will definitely be contacting Danielle again in the future!"  --  Jenna H.

     -"I couldn't get into my normal spot for a few weeks so I thought I'd try somewhere else, so glad I ran across positive reviews of Danielle! She was phenomenal! It had been awhile since I've had a massage and was looking to relieve some upper back and neck stress and tension.  It's been a couple days since the massage and I feel great.  I will definitely become a regular customer.  Thanks Danielle!"  --  Nick E.

     -"Danielle was extremely personable, professional and very quick to respond.  Initial consultation was excellent, thanks so much!"  --  Collin M.
