Hi, I'm Danelle, owner/founder and proud therapist at Antidote Functional Therapies. I actually dreamed of becoming a massage therapist as a young person, but it didn't become a reality until a mid-life career change! After 14 years in the art world, I plunged into bodywork, realizing that BODIES are my canvas and helping them heal is incredibly creatively fulfilling!
Things that make my heart flutter:
☀️ I feel most capable and energetic in the morning. Starting with a walk and coming home to a cup of tea and cat cuddles before taking on the day is ideal!
☕ Speaking of tea -- earl grey, matcha, rooibos, spearmint... I'll take 'em all!
💕 Weightlifting has been a part of my life for a long while (consistently since 2010) and I whole-heartedly believe it provides me with job security! It's also how I met my love, Tommy. Taking care of oneself is a big green flag for me. Loving cats is definitely another. We eloped this past May in Key West.
😎 Treasure hunting... by that I mean finding a vintage silk blouse in mint condition, the perfect piece of antique furniture for a steal, or a vinyl record that gives me instant nostalgia.
🧩 Working a 1000-piece puzzle with my mom.
🎭 Musicals and PBS Masterpiece Theater period dramas.
🍲 Enjoying meals with loved ones.
🌊 Sun-soaking with an audiobook (preferably on a beach, but poolside will do).
🌿 Exploring, hiking, hanging out with Tom.
🐈🐈⬛ Sharing our home with our two house demons... er dear kitties... Mathis and Emmett.
