I was one of Danielle's first clients two years ago and have been seeing her regularly ever since because I'm beyond impressed with her. I initially started seeing Danielle as part of physical therapy for a car accident and an unrelated athletic-injury surgery recovery. I'd told her this in an email and phone conversation during the booking process, and expected her to have a brief follow-up during the initial appointment, and then launch into the massage - that's what other massage therapists have done in the past. This is not what she did. That first appointment, she remembered what I'd said on the phone, had more questions for me, and took a full medical history. We spoke for a good half hour before she had me get on the table - she took the time to introduce herself and her business/practices and to get know me a little, to examine how I moved, pinpointed problem areas as well as confirmed the already-discussed ones. She has done something similar every appointment since, though the discussion is now about 5 minutes or less. Danielle's skills as a massage therapist are amazing. She's frank, honest, and doesn't cut corners. She doesn't just go for the "problem," she addresses the related muscular issues that cause the problem. There's nothing about her massage process that is condescending or rushed. She will walk you through what she's doing and explain why, and she does so with great candor and humor so there's no feeling as if you're asking a stupid question or being chastised for not knowing what's up. Aside from the massage-related discussions, Danielle's massage process is tailored to the client and the mood of the day - in other words, she's professional, friendly, not pushy, and very good at reading people and getting them what they need. She's very good at her job. As far as payment and scheduling goes, she's very flexible and understanding, and lets you know immediately if something needs addressed (like a card not going through or an earlier appointment opens up or if she's going to be late/in a rush, etc.) I tend to communicate with her via text instead of email because it's more convenient, but she uses text, email, and phone calls frequently - so in basic communication, as in all other aspects of her business, Danielle is very attentive to the client. Overall, I thoroughly recommend Danielle for your massage therapy needs. You won't be disappointed! read more

Let me start by saying that Danielle is by far the BEST Massage therapist who has touched my body and I swear by her work. I am a Professional tri athlete who runs, swims and cycles many miles per week and my performance has improved significantly ever since Danielle has started working on me. I found a massage therapist for as long as Danielle will work on me. so thank you for that. As I am scanning through the reviews for Danielle's table I could not help but notice the amazingly positive reviews and one horrific Review from Amy S. which obviously was edited, because it was a ravingly positive review this morning when I looked and contemplated my review I have put off for awhile now. I must say: Folks, be aware!!!! Just like every Wellness Center or medical office, Danielle has a 12 hour cancellation policy that is adjustable based on emergencies for yourself and immediate family, that you have signed that says: If you cancel/reschedule within 12 hours or your account will be charged. I have done this twice, even though I received the reminders right before every appointment, I forgot, and i have gladly paid for both of them because her time is $, I have held the appointments hostage twice and she would loose income. She kindly let her system charge for the appointment and saw me another time and did not charge me. Danielle is very giving and very kind and this is out of her hands. Be responsible and show up or reschedule or cancel the appointment within the allotted time. Knowing Danielle and how she operates her business, Amy. S.' review is very malicious is nothing more than an attempt to ruin her reputation. Danielle is extremely generous and will come in on days off to meet your needs. Take these negative reviews with a grain of salt, especially since this person had a raving review just hours before. Danielle is not only an amazing massage therapist, she is generous with her time and gives discounts to many, opens her days up when she is supposed to be off.. She is a very generous human.

Dear clients Thank you for all your reviews. I take these to heart and use them all to not only make my practice better, but to also provide you with better customer service. I always have new things to learn so I appreciate your input. Many of you know that I have a very busy practice and that I have an incredible online scheduler in place that sends you reminders when your appointments are coming up. And that I open my weekends for emergencies and special occasions. I leave my busy life and prepare myself to be there for you and be ready for when you come in for your scheduled treatment. I have a 12 hour cancellation policy in place, that is waved for emergencies and I ALWAYS, offer an alternative appointment option, even if it really wasn't an emergency. Please be courteous to me and my clients and either show up for your appointments and/or cancel them in the 12 hour time frame, as I have many folks who want to come in to see me especially when I open up a weekend day and I have a busy life have bills to pay too. I usually cannot fill an open spot on a short term notice. And if it is an emergency in your immediate family, please give me some time to take care of my clients and I will get back to you and discuss what we can do to get you in, next. Being threatened with Credit card fraud and trying to ruin my practice with licensing board complaints are really not appropriate, especially if you did not adhere to my cancellation policy and/or something came up for your neighbor and you wanted to help. There is always a kinder alternative option and I will always try to make you, my client happy. Also please know that tipping me is greatly appreciated but absolutely not necessary. Every single dollar you tip me goes to a dog rescue, so thank you for your generous donations, whether it's $1 or $75, it all goes to a great cause. Again thank you all for your reviews, positive or negative. It only helps me get better at what I do to make your experience a better one.. Danielle del Prado LMT read more

Oh damn. This massage was legit. I was feeling really stressed, mentally fatigued, sad, tight, disconnected from my body...just cranky and awful. I had a teeny tiny unexpected window in my day. I desperately wanted a massage. This lack of planning usually backfires in the massage universe. But, this time- I hit the jackpot. I found Danielle online and saw that she had great reviews. I called her up, praying that by some odd chance she had an opening. She answered her phone and agreed to come in to help me out. I got the feeling that maybe it was outside of her schedule. She assured me that she doesn't do anything she doesn't want to do, which made me feel better about my last minute request. I appreciate her choice to accommodate me. I got to her space and instantly KNEW I was in the right place. It felt like just the energy that I needed. She was amazing. Strong, confident, warm, empathetic. I usually take awhile to relax during a massage. Not this time. As soon as she went to work "finding things" I felt like my body was fully in her hands. It was fantastic. She did very deep, yet smooth work. Had I not felt so at ease with her, it may have been too intense. I felt like I could trust her, so it never felt like too much, despite being quite more firm than I'm accustomed to. That was a great revelation. She taught me a whole new way to enjoy massage. Ok, before I gush too much---yes- she is magnificent and I can't wait to see her again. read more

Let's say you've seen a cluster of massage therapists since you were 12 because you are an athlete. Not an athlete that went to the Olympics or anything but none-the-less one who's gotten down and dirty, done some pushing, been pushed, suffered the imprint of a soccer ball on your face from a direct hit, sprained things, pulled other things, fallen on ice trying to do some kind of single spin, had a hairline fracture or, well, just the one, suffered the butt end of a Crystal Geiser body hitting your forehead (okay was just drunk for that one) and you fell down a flight of 15 metal stairs because you were walking and texting (lesson learned you all) and so your body has been jostled and jolted and so you've lined up a ton of 'healers' in your life and you are now extremely discerning about who you will let lay their hands on you and who you will dismiss immediately. Because now you know (you've been through all of the above after all) who is full of sh*t and who isn't. Because your goal is to keep moving and exercising fluidly, without pain, for the rest of your life. Danielle is the real deal. I do not say this lightly. If you need a 'relaxing' massage with a power lavender candle and flute beats, this is not your jam, but if you need someone who can get in there and get the good work done. Danielle is 100% your person. read more

I am a 38 year old marathon runner and never thought I would be a "chronic back pain" sufferer, but it turns out that age, computer work, and boot camp classes take their toll. Though I have had many massages over the years, I've never sought them for pain relief until now. First of all, I've had several massages in New York, in Boston and now Portland with different therapists, and each one has been stellar in his or her own way. I just scheduled my first time ever with Danielle, who came in for me on her day off to help me. Danielle was super professional, super generous with her time and knowledge and whose comfortable and educational therapeutic style provides both pain relief and preventative techniques to minimize pain down the road. She even spend time after my 90 minute massage to show me exercises and stretches to do and even gave me homework :). I called Danielle after I found her on Groupon and did not buy the Groupon because I know they take 50%. Her prices are ridiculously low for what you get and I was excited to just pay her regular price because she is amazing and i am doing a happy dance because I am never going to anyone else. I am officially going to be a regular and I cannot recommend her strongly enough. read more

If you ever want a no nonsense massage that has you feeling rejuvenated and alive, Danielle's Table Massage is for you. I came in completely stressed from all that is happening in our world, but also my strenuous job as an ICU nurse. Danielle took her time to assess my body before I laid on her gloriously comfortable and warm table. The words described in these reviews do not do the table any justice. The ambience, the room, the smells, the vibe and the music transported me to a different world. I am not woo woo! But all this happened before Danielle began her magical Massage. During the massage, Danielle found every spot on my body, without me having to say one word. As if her hands knew exactly where to go. I am sold! That was the best massage of my life. And I have had many, all over the world. My body felt as if I could run a marathon and I was as high as a kite on endorphins. Do yourself a favor and go see Danielle. I am scheduled for seeing her every 2 weeks til the end of the year. I have found my medicine, so I can continue to move and live freely and not with additional body aches to bog me down. And Danielle's energy is soothing and healing. Go see her! Dee read more

I have been seeing Danielle for the last 3 years and I finally took a minute to write her a review. Not only is her scheduling top notch, but her approach and knowledge about anatomy and how muscles work is the best I have ever encountered. This woman is a magician when it comes to helping you feel amazing and pain free after your massage. I have never met a massage therapist who worked on a different body part other than the one you came in to be worked on, and made the pain disappear. Danielle's style of massage is definitely not for the faint of heart! And as far as Danielle talking during a massage is concerned, Danielle only speaks when I speak. She had often prompted me to breathe while I was saying something. I have been in sessions with other massage therapists who chatted and I have told them to be quiet. So super reviewer, Groupon purchaser, why didn't you speak up if that really happened. Danielle is extremely busy and I could not imagine her chatting for 90 minutes straight. She is focused on her work and 100% on her client. You don't want to miss this! tget your appointments in quickly before they are not available. read more

Danielle is an amazing massage therapist. She is meticulous in the details, always listening to what her clients are saying and paying close attention to how your body is moving and functioning. This isn't a day spa, but that isn't why you come to see Danielle. You come to her so she can help heal what is broken and restore function to what is not functioning right. I have always had a hard time finding an LMT that could provide the level of pressure that would ease the chronic muscle pains I experience on a daily basis. As a full time dad and personal trainer I am always on the go and I need the assistance of a great LMT to restore function to my body so I can keep going. So when I was introduced to Danielle and her practice of massage, I knew I had found someone who understood a great deal of the human body and was able to help me through any muscle pains or imbalances I was experiencing. If you are in search of an LMT who provides unparalleled service, listens well to what you need and is able to see the visual cues of how your body is functioning, then go see Danielle right now, you won't regret it! read more

Danielle del Prado is a gifted massage therapist. I leave my monthly appointment freed up from pain and with a deep feeling of wellbeing. Danielle's skill draws from extensive training, vast knowledge of how the body works, and powerful intuition. She asks questions, listens well and shares what she knows so you can participate in the healing process. I am grateful to Danielle for her great skill and generous spirit. I hold her in great regard as a massage therapist and recognize her as one of the most passionate, educated and effective practitioners in her field. Portland has gained a great asset and a caring, competent provider in the opening of Danielle's Table at Apex Bodyworks. I urge you check out what they offer by going to their website, http://www.apexbodyworks.com, and signing up for one of their classes or an extraordinary massage. The Apex Bodyworks facility is exceptional in comfort, quality, cleanliness and overall ambiance. I predict this business will be very successful. If I lived in Portland, I'd be at Apex Bodyworks several times a week. read more

TLDR: Just book her. Right now. You! GO! I was in the market for a new massage therapist for a while and had pretty much given up when I found Danielle on my insurance's website (She accepts insurance!). I tentatively gave her a call and she scheduled me right away. She was so kind and helpful and I did not expect that level of immediate service. She's very flexible and she puts her clients first. Just an amazing people person. She has an extra special level of attentiveness, integrity and honesty. She will tell you exactly how it is and I love that. If you're looking for someone to really work you and learn about you, she's it. She's also super strong! If you roll your eyes every time you hear someone say they are great at using force, you won't with Danielle. Overall, her space is lovely and extremely comfortable. It was warm and soft and relaxing. Her spirit fills the place and makes it such a happy, vibrant oasis. You will walk away feeling stronger and more at peace in your own body. read more

Danielle is not only the absolute Best Massage therapist I have ever had the pleasure working on me, but she is also the most conscientious professional I have had the pleasure of working on me during this pandemic. I saw Danielle once at the beginning of 2020 and had to move to AZ temporarily to take care of a sick parent. She was amazing before and very hygienic with her sanitation and the way she cleaned her practice. I have seen several mediocre LMT's in my trip away and now that I have returned, Danielle's practice is over the top with her COVID-19 sanitation. She has beefed up the way she handles her intake of patients. To be honest I feel safer going to Danielle's practice than I do my own doctor. I am a MD and I approve all she is doing to keep herself and me safe. I have actually improved the way we do things at my practice based on my experience at Danielle's Table. I am back for good and I am Never changing my LMT. My body feels great and I feel safe. read more

I been going to Danielle's Table for around 8 months or so now. I will admit that at first I felt the prices were high because I grew up in a suburban and I expect massages to be like $45 for 60 min. I will say Danielle's massages are worth every penny. When I had more time, I would go every week. The reason I go to Danielle so frequently is to enhance my performance. I stretch after my workouts but I can't stretch every little muscle or some days I stretch my quads more than my calves. My philosophy is simple, I know that a lot of muscle injuries are a result of tight muscles and cause bad posture. PT and pain is something I want to avoid. Danielle is amazing to say the least. She is funny and does a great job. One time my back was feeling tight and after seeing her, it was not tight anymore. I have recommend other people to her. My favorite thing about her is that her website has online scheduling since it shocks me when business are in old platforms. read more

I recently enjoyed a 90-minute massage session at Danielle's Table, and it was truly a wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, Danielle created a welcoming and relaxing environment, making me feel comfortable and at ease right away. The massage itself was exceptional--Danielle's technique was gentle yet thorough, expertly easing tension from my muscles and leaving me deeply relaxed. She skillfully tailored the session to my specific needs, focusing extra attention on areas that were particularly tense. Her professionalism and warmth were evident throughout, and the ambiance of the room further enhanced my relaxation. After my session, I felt rejuvenated and stress-free, with noticeable improvements in both my physical comfort and overall mood. I highly recommend Danielle's Table massage therapy for anyone seeking a personalized, soothing, and restorative experience. I'll definitely be booking another session soon! read more

Daniel is the real deal. She will assess your needs and approach accordingly. I am not a fan of meeting new people or of being in ay kind of vulnerable spot, but was desperately in need of some muscle work. I was immediately put at ease and am now pleased to see her, giving her thank you hugs for mellowing me out and grateful for her help! I have an insane schedule, a very high stress job and am a musician the rest of the time... very tightly wound I guess you could say. She approached my case respectfully, with humor and an approach that (I feel) she knew I would be comfortable with. Before seeing Danielle it had been about 20 years since I had a professional massage. I have now been twice to see her and have an appointment set to see her again. She is no BS, looks at and speaks to all thing pertinent to stress and muscle tension, advises on her style and gets to fixing the pain. Great experience with more to come! read more

I received a gift certificate from my kids for Danielle's Table, for my birthday. They did their research on Yelp and I am grateful for it. Danielle knows her stuff and calls it like it is. My athleticism goes as far as deep water aerobics. I also have knee injuries that keep me from being overly active so my body rarely feels great. My first visit to Danielle was fantastic. I went for the 90 minute massage and am so glad I did. Danielle does deep/sports massage. She gets in there and works on the areas that she can tell needs help. She communicates what she is doing if you want her to, or you can just zone out and take it in. Her space is clean and comfortable and street parking was easy. She does book up pretty quickly so if you get in and you are happy with your experience, make sure to book your next appointment before you leave! A busy massage therapist is a good massage therapist. read more

Can I give her 10 stars? Serously, Danielle is incredible. After seeing all the great things people have said about her, my boyfriend and I knew we had to see her. She is so warm and welcoming, taking the time to talk to you and really get to know what where exactly your pain points lie to she can work them out. I had been experiencing hip pain for months and not only did she massage out the muscles that were causing me pain, but she provided me with advice and suggestions for at-home care as well. I feel like I have a brand new body! I went in for a 60 minute full body deep/sports massage and I wish I could have stayed all day. Danielle is extremely professional, geniune and knowledgeable with a strong passion for helping people -- and her space is clean, relaxing and homey. I really can't wait to be back! Seeing her is going to be a regular happening in my schedule :) read more

I'd been seeing a chiropractor that I really like for chronic back issues but for some reason the treatments had stopped working. I wanted to try a more manipulation approach. Danielle was recommended by a friend. I read her reviews and honestly was a little scared. My friend and some of the reviews stated she was tough. I have seen Danielle twice now. She is not for the faint of heart for sure. She is not rough but gives you a deep massage to fix the problem. Yes... the first time I was definitely sore the next day, but my back pain was SO MUCH BETTER. She is very thorough, friendly, and truly wants to help you. This is not a "spa day" type of place, so if that is what you are looking for, she is not it. She is there to help and fix the problems you are having. I highly recommend Danielle and look forward to seeing her again next week! read more

I have tried masseuses all across the portland metro area and most have not helped me feel better at all. I suffer from chronic low back and hip pain from long hours of driving from work and Danielle is the only masseuse who has been able to get me back to close to 100% after my appointments. Danielle truly understands the anatomy of the body and rather than work on the spot that directly hurts, she addresses the muscles supporting areas, and more effectively relieves the stress and pain. This is not a day spa type massage so you need to be able to take a little discomfort, but if you suffer from daily pain then she's the one you want to see. Apart from being a wonderful masseuse she is also a great person who will go the extra mile to accommodate her regulars. Im not someone who typically writes reviews but I HIGHLY recommend seeing her. read more
