About Dan

Founder of Para Health Massage

My name is Dan. I’ve been happily married since 2009, and my wife and I are raising two amazing kids—our daughter (2010) and our son (2013). My life has always centered around family, service, and staying grounded in what matters.

I’m a medically retired U.S. Army veteran who learned early how much pressure life can put on the body and mind. Years of physical stress, emotional endurance, and pushing through pain taught me hard lessons—lessons that eventually led me to deep tissue work. Massage wasn’t a luxury for me; it was a turning point. It rebuilt my strength, restored my movement, and showed me how powerful real therapeutic pressure can be when it’s applied with intention.

Since March 2022, I’ve also been a practicing Buddhist. For a time, I led an English-speaking meditation group at Quan Am Temple in Mason. That practice taught me discipline, presence, and how to meet discomfort without backing down.
It also taught me something deeper—suffering isn’t just pain; it’s communication.
Once I learned to steady my mind and actually listen to what it was telling me, everything changed. Even as Para Health grew and needed my full attention, those principles stayed with me. They shape how I work, how I speak to clients, and how I show up every day.

At Para Health Massage, I operate with the belief that the body and mind are tools—meant to be maintained, strengthened, and sharpened. Not for conflict, but for clarity, balance, and contribution. With the right care and consistent habits—movement, a healthy diet, real recovery, and focused intention—you can build a life grounded in strength and purpose.

Massage isn’t fluff. It’s not a luxury. When it’s done right, it’s a disciplined practice that restores balance physically, emotionally, and mentally. Whether you’re dealing with pain, stress, limited movement, or the weight of day-to-day life, my goal is simple: help you reset, rebuild, and reconnect with your life in a way that actually lasts.

I’m here to help you put in the work—one session at a time.
