Typical conditions I work with within my private practice and at Presidio Sports Medicine Physical Therapy Centre
A native of London, England I relocated to the Bay Area in 2006. Using body-workers in my own life and my numerous trips to Thailand, Bali and Indian is where my passion for bodywork began. So I started a journey to cultivate a body of knowledge, I undertook a two year Master Bodyworker program here in San Francisco.
Along with being in private practice I work for one of San Francisco's top Physical Therapy Departments . A top spa. A Yoga Studio and a Persoanl Training Gym. My aim is to help clients achieve their personal physical goals, whether working with injury or providing maintenance massage. I am accustomed to working with athletes, non-athletes, people recovering from injury, pre and post op, prenatal, the elderly, cancer patients, prenatal, professional dancers, marathon runners and triathletes.
During my bodywork studies I advanced trained in Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Swedish, Reflexology, Shiatsu, Cranial Sacral, Lymphatic and Energetic work along with Prenatal and Elderly massage. I delivers all my work with sensitivity and energetic awareness.
I developed an early awareness of the importance of good body form and function through my work as an actor and dancer. I believe that the secret of good bodywork starts with listening, identifying dysfunction and encouraging the mind and body to adapt to a new pattern; one that promotes a physically healthy homeostasis.
Prior to becoming a massage therapist, I worked as a professional stage actor in London, Europe and in the United States and hold a Masters in Theatre. I have performed in productions on Broadway (NYC) as well as The Old Vic Theatre London (UK), The Royal National Theatre London (UK) and numerous West-End Stages (UK) and now act in the Bay Area.

Thanks for checking in. And more importantly, thank you for an amazing massage. Every aspect of the experience was perfectly executed. The personal details that you add made it really stand out as one of, if not THE, best massage I've had. Thank you for your warmth and generosity--making yourself very present in the session. I really appreciate it. My shoulder feels much better. This morning was the first time in about 10 days that I woke up without it hurting. I confess I did not have the big glass of wine, as instructed, but just didn't feel like I needed it after you had worked your magic. I 'll be back again soon.

Having received many massages in many kinds of uninviting environments -- kitchens, closets, dens, bedrooms, basements -- I fully appreciate Daniel's warm and welcoming dedicated massage room. The table, temperature and temperament all set the mood blissfully for the main attraction: Daniel's luxurious laying on of hands. In a word, it's a massage to remember. Also unforgettable is the complimentary tea at the end of the session -- another "touch" of class as exquisite as all that preceded it. I can see now why Daniel chose the name "Fluid" -- because you just can't help letting the praises flow

I recently found out about Daniel from a good friend who had a massage recently and raved about him..it was also a plus that it is in my neighborhood. Daniel's space is a clean peaceful environment.
Having had a lot amount of massage therapy over the years I definitely know enough to appreciate a really good massage therapist- one that is not only intuitive to my needs, but equally masters all techniques. Suffice to say I was still in search of the best, so I decided to trust my friend's recommendation for Daniel.
Daniel exceeded my expectations. It was an amazing experience-I had a full body massage combining Swedish, deep tissue, pressure points and reflexology, which was incredible. I felt very comfortable with him, and it was probably the best massage I've had. I would highly recommend Daniel .

I had the best prenatal massage by Daniel Davies. I am 8 months pregnant and he made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. His technique and careful consideration to be gentle yet effective was exactly what i needed. I highly recommend u book a massage with him. Had i visited him and treated myself sooner. I would have made it a point to see him every month of my pregnancy. Go head and treat yourselves mamas.
