Liz B. - counselor

"Nella is a magnificent cranial sacral practitioner. She is trauma-informed, compassionate, intuitive, and all around an all-star. I've never felt so safe with a practitioner which is so necessary for this emotionally vulnerable work!"

Jessica M. - LMT

"Before working with Nella I had been experiencing some cognitive and emotional problems for about three years after a brain injury and some highly traumatic events. Psychotherapy had helped, but a persistent mental fog remained as well as extreme emotional fragility, and I just didn’t feel like myself anymore. After my first session with Nella I discovered that the fog had lifted and I was much more emotionally resilient! I felt like the old self I had been before my brain injury! Honestly it felt like a miracle healing. Since then I’ve been back for more sessions and have continued improving and making big emotional breakthroughs. I am so grateful for Nella’s healing touch!"

Hannah H. - acupuncturist

“Danella is an excellent bodyworker. She has a breadth of knowledge and experience that you can feel in her work. I personally experienced profound release of physical and emotional tension in my neck when I was working with her. Her presence is calming and very grounded. I trust that she has the capacity to hold space for whatever might come up for me during a session. I truly appreciate the gift of her presence.”

John G.

"For the past seven years, I have been on a path of profound physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. I have received the assistance of many powerful healers on this journey. Danella Durieux stands out amongst these healers as an exceptionally generous channel of purity, wisdom, and grace. Her combination of Organic Intelligence and Craniosacral therapy are providing direct assistance in regulating my nervous system and coming into presence with the easy graceful bliss of my true self. The healing I have received from Nella is a divine treasure of inestimable worth, and I trust her with full vulnerability of my soul. I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking healing from anything."

D. Wilson

"Nella's clear and grounding presence allowed for my nervous system to relax and let go so deeply I felt I had been transported to another dimension beyond time and space. Her natural gift of attuning created a safe environment, allowing for whatever needed to happen. I highly recommend Nella to anyone who may be seeking added support on their journey."

"Nella is an outstanding practitioner who is gentle, compassionate, and intelligent. She works from a solid framework and has the ability to articulate her approach in a way that puts clients at ease. Couldn't recommend her enough!"

Bob S. - landscape architect/designer

"Going into working with Danella, I felt overwhelmed by all the stressors in my life and exhausted. Her presence really helped me to relax though, and throughout our session, I felt myself gently guided in a way that left me feeling lighter, clearer, and with more energy. Her easeful, genuine way of relating and supporting gave me a sense of comfort, and space for self exploration."

Kristin D. - attorney

"I was interested in working with Nella when I learned she could aid with PTSD that lingers even after years of talk therapy. I was also a bit cautious from having “meh” experiences with other cranio sacral practitioners. Nella’s treatments are very different. When I arrived with a dysregulated nervous system, Nella offered soothing, gentle, relief and care. Between treatments I found it sustaining, easily accessing a place of sturdy gentleness and care for myself, even in triggering situations and heavy waves of emotion. Each treatment with Nella was a bit different and met me in the moment. For nearly 2 decades I enjoyed deep tissue massage as bodywork of choice. Now I find my body needs gentleness, and I am easily as relaxed, if not more, after seeing Nella. I am grateful to receive Nella's skillful work and support. I highly recommend Nella!!"

Moon B. - bodyworker

“I've had 3 sessions with Nella and each time she consistently listened deeply to my body, brought it to deep stillness and helped my nervous and fascial system shift dramatically. I've been healing my body from some devastating situations and Nella's work has been an integral part of the process. I was able to connect with parts of my nervous system I've not had access to in a long time afterwards and deep healing sleep was my reward. She's highly gifted and capable of carrying a body from one place to another, especially with regular treatment. I'm looking forward to the next phase of our work together.”

Jenna R.

"I saw Nella for a series of Craniosacral Therapy sessions and have experienced improvement in nervous system regulation, mindfulness, trauma processing, and bodily discomfort and pain. I felt supported and safe while Nella intuitively held different areas of my body, some places with movement and some without. I was able to feel the tension and emotions held in each place while being guided to be present with my feelings and sensations, ultimately leading to small releases throughout the session. The sessions she holds are incredibly relaxing and I left each one feeling grounded, light, and calm. Nella also has great recommendations for being present with uncomfortable feelings and emotions that you can use as tools outside of sessions. I would recommend seeing Nella for CST to anyone experiencing nervous system dysregulation, trouble with processing trauma, or chronic illness."

Raquel O.

"Danella is a beautiful and skilled healer and deep space holder - her energy is clear and grounding. I appreciate the connection she centers before and after our sessions for insight and integration. Her ability to tap into the energy and wisdom of the body makes her sessions potent beyond belief, my nervous system continues to unfurl in many ways long after our sessions are over. I am grateful to have access to a gifted practitioner like her in our community and look forward to our work together to heal my nervous system."

Emily P.

"Nella is intuitive, gentle, and supremely talented. With the safety she created beforehand, I was able to drop in immediately and have an incredibly healing session. I am still experiencing the positive effects days after our session and look forward to receiving more cranio sacral from her in the future."

Jamie O.

"This was my first experience doing cranial sacral work and I didn’t know what to expect. After just one session, I felt an energetic shift that lasted beyond my session and gave me the momentum I needed to add more movement in my life."
