About the Author
Danielle Almendinger is a Licensed Massage Therapist with an associate degree from Career Training Academy. Her passion for massage grew out of a desire to free her loved ones from the physical pain they were feeling in their bodies. That desire stayed with her throughout her teenage years. In turn, prompting her to attend massage therapy school.

In her early career, Danielle found herself in a spa setting. Soon after she started her own massage therapy practice focusing in the specialty areas of Reproductive Health, Prenatal, and Postpartum massage. A mother herself, she has firsthand experience with the many different physical and emotional changes a woman undergoes during this time in her life. She is honored that so many women have allowed her to be a part of their journey in this regard.
