Danalynn
Owner & Lead Practitioner
I started this non linear journey over 20 years ago from both professional training and lived experience. My background includes nursing and doula care in Oregon, massage therapy and lymphatic specialization in Florida, over 500 hours of yoga teacher training, and work in athletic rehabilitation and physical therapy assistance.
I have had the honor to learn from and work closely with so many wise women, teachers, midwives, surgeons and patients - learning how to really care for women through fertility, prenatal, postpartum, and hormonal transitions, while also living fully in my own body as an athlete, mother, and woman.I have experienced two live births, multiple miscarriages, and I live with Lipedema — a journey that led me to deeply study lymphatic health, creating a uniquely speciailized lymphatic care program. These paths shaped the heart of my work.
I am now rooted back in North Carolina, I’ve intentionally created a space to care for women in all hormonal stages of life, integrating lymphatic health, functional movement, and naturopathic principles. This work is full-circle for me — and you are warmly welcome here.

What Clients Are Saying
Heather Carper
Danalynn is an absolutely incredible massage therapist. She has completely generous energy and intuitive touch. She is humble but very knowledgeable. You can tell that she is doing work she is passionate about. Her space is incredibly comforting- she has made the room a peaceful respite with dim lighting, curtains, a comfortable massage table; there is always a fancy name brand water waiting just for me and healthy snacks. She has so many methods that she has used to help my body and she does it during the session based on her intuition, not based on a service sheet with upcharges for these specialties. She’s used infrared light, red light, vibration machine, different oils, etc. At my first session she advised me to begin using a dry brush on certain areas, informed me how to, and gave me a brand new dry brush right there on the spot. You can absolutely feel the technique, direction, and love in her touch. I have recently had several plastic surgery procedures that her massage is helping me recover from. One side effect was that my hips seemed wider than pre-op. I wasn’t sure if it was just the result or swelling. Danalynn’s massage that first day eliminated this completely- I’m amazed! I also really love that she explains to me what she is feeling in my body, what areas she can feel the lymph flowing well in, where she is making fast progress, what areas are holding on. I cannot recommend Danalynn enough; I am so grateful to have someone of her caliber so close to home!

Dana is the most amazing therapist I have ever worked with and I have visited quite a few. She is in tune with your needs. She does this by listening to you and to your body. She has a true passion for what she does and is invested in helping people. She always makes herself available when you need her.

Danalynn is the most compassionate, warm and authentic care giver I have met. She was a godsend, an angel without wings. Back in September I had an abdominalplasty with lipo and had a very rough recovery. I don’t know how I would have managed to get through the physical and mental struggles I experienced without our weekly sessions. I looked forward to each session and between her skill in lymphatic massage, use of different modalities, and her aurora I always came away feeling better and knew each week would bring improvement. I experienced amazing results with each massage and she was always fully present during the session. I don’t know how anyone goes through such a major plastic surgery without having lymphatic massages. Danalynn is your massage therapist!
