A Journey of Service
Mercy Massage Ministry was founded on the belief that caring for the body begins with caring for the whole person. Danielle's background in therapeutic massage, fire and emergency medical services, hospice care, clinical chaplaincy, and grief support has shaped an approach that honors each person's story as much as their symptoms.
Danielle discovered her passion for massage therapy in 2002 while attending The Tri-City School of Massage in Kennewick, Washington. What began as a love for bodywork grew into a lifelong commitment to serving others through a variety of helping professions.
Over the years, each role has contributed to a deeper understanding of how physical discomfort, emotional experiences, and spiritual well-being are deeply interconnected, shaping the care she provides today.
Educational and Professional Development
As a Board Certified MassageTherapist (BCTMB) with more than two decades of experience, Danielle has remained committed to lifelong learning, continually expanding her knowledge and skills to better serve her clients.
Danielle's education includes an Associate of Science in Fire Technology, Clinical Pastoral Education and Training(CPE/T), and an advanced certification in grief counseling.
Her professional development includes individual and group crisis intervention, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills and Training (ASIST), and ongoing study in Traumatic Stress Studies through the Trauma Research Foundation.
Specialized Areas of Care
Throughout her career, Danielle has had the privilege of caring for individuals navigating chronic pain, terminal illness, grief, caregiver stress and other significant life challenges.
As the first massage therapist at NorthBay Hospice and Bereavement, Danielle developed the organization's massage therapy program by writing and implementing the guidelines and procedures for integrating massage therapy into the hospice program.
As part of her clinical chaplain residency, Danielle completed five units of Clinical Pastoral Education and Training (CPT/E) through the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy. Her training included a specialized unit in Palliative Care, strengthening her ability to support clients and their families during life-limiting illness, and end-of-life care.
