Vital Connections
Danielle Ouimette, LMT

Founder of Vital Connections Massage & Bodywork

As a massage therapist, my passion is to help you along your path to well-being and vitality. Massage and bodywork is a journey inward. I listen deeply to your body and energy, and partner with you to awaken your natural healing mechanisms, inner balance, and potential. I am fascinated with the healing aspects of movement. During a session we often use movement coupled with massage - whether it be subtle breathwork and micromovements or more overt stretches and range of motion – to encourage the body to open. There are so many good reasons to receive massage and bodywork. Whether your goals include healing an injury, recovering from chronic pain, managing stress and tension, improving posture and flexibility, or becoming more in touch with your body and mind, I welcome the opportunity to work with you. I am honored to be part of your journey!
