About me

Science-Led. Intuition-Driven. Lived Experience.

I’m Dannielle, and my approach to bodywork is shaped by a lifelong relationship with anatomy, movement, and the science of healing. My journey to Myopractics wasn't just professional—it was personal. After years of traditional chiropractic care left me with persistent migraines, I realized my body needed a different conversation. One session with Rhonda Marinakis changed my understanding of how the body holds tension, eventually leading me to pursue formal training under her guidance.

The Science of the System

My foundation is rooted in clinical science. While earning my degree in Applied Biological Sciences (Pre-Vet) at Arizona State University, I studied the body at a cellular and systemic level. This academic rigor, combined with a personal journey of relearning my own immune system after a severe medical reaction, taught me a vital lesson: true healing is a collaboration with the body, not an attempt to control it.

Lessons from the Equine World

Before transitioning to human bodywork, I served as an equine veterinary technician. Working with 1,200-pound athletes who cannot speak requires a unique level of precision and intuition. It taught me to read subtle non-verbal cues and "listen" to what the tissue is saying—an awareness built through anatomy, repetition, and observation that I bring into every session today.

Understanding the Path to Recovery

I work with an intimate understanding of chronic pain and compensation patterns. Having navigated my own history of injuries—including knee surgery, repetitive strain, and a fractured C4 spinous process from a horse accident—I respect the pace a body requires to truly let go.

Today, my work is a blend of clinical knowledge and responsive, hands-on care. Whether you are recovering from an acute injury or managing chronic tension, I am here to help you recalibrate.
