Orthotherapist
Daniel began his first career in the Hotel Management field and then into the corporate field doing trouble shooting and helping people. That desire to help and work on a personal level actually filtered down to his hands. Daniel graduated from the Canadian Collage of Orthotherapy and received the honour of the RISING SUN award for his efforts and attitude at the college. Just prior to this study, Daniel took courses in aesthetics with a concentration on waxing.
In the year 1999 Daniel opened the doors of The Little House Spa on a property originally built in 1847 which he owned and restored. People arrived at the spa from all over and by 2002 the spa was rated #1 in the travel book The Secrets of Ottawa. Over the years Daniel had a vision to include men into the spa world through the doors of The Little House Spa. That dream of making men feel more welcome and was the seguway into the next venture BODE SPA FOR MEN.
Daniel purchased Bodé Spa and transformed it into what it is today. Daniel is recognized in the industry as a leader, and even a pioneer in many aspects of the spa world. He continues to not only teach and speak across North America about the topic of Men & Spa but is making an influence on how this sector of service needs to understand the male patron. Daniel is a master waxing expert and teaches for professionals both in and out of the spa in Ottawa.

Mac started his career close to the earth and nature as a man of the farm and agriculture. Farm work developed in Mac a great work ethic which is proven here at the Spa every day. Following his years on the family farm he entered the hi-tech industry which gave him the opportunity to travel many parts of the world. Mac confided in us when he started that it was that love of travel and culture that made him move his efforts and study to that of the art of massage.
For Mac massage has allowed him to develop his touch and it has acted as an outlet for his caring personality. He has been taught to perform different techniques, styles and treatments over the years, but his natural gift is to give his client stress reduction and relaxation. He feels genuinely lucky for that each career opportunity that has come along has done so at the right time in his life to fully appreciate it. We are very fortunate to have Mac Tom on our team here at Bode Spa.

Mind & body care .. meditation for your mind (I cant do it for you but I can tell you where to go) and body care your body (I sure can put you through my massage experience)
Come experience my adapted massage techniques which include:
hydro massage therapy under the misty rain of the hydro room .. ideal for joggers & cyclists .. I will put the hip joint in maximum rotation by stretching the short rotators, flexors, extensors, adductors & abductors through their full range of motion .. not to forget the rotator cuff muscles for swimmers
or swedish massage in the dry room where I can also work with varied osteopathic fascial techniques & stretching techniques
or if a systemic clearing of toxins is required then I can reach the deeper layers with lymphatic drainage therapy techniques (LDT)-Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (Chikly method), and also with visceral manipulation techniques (VM) Visceral Manipulation (Barral Institute)
All these techniques will focus on the abdominal & pelvic regions which are often neglected but are major areas for body circulation (arterial, venous, lymphatic, nervous) and also where a good deal of our emotions & stress is stored .. the gut reaction
Client participation is a key to well being and I can recommend basic yoga stretching exercises. Always remember that moderation and continuity is the key to long range well being
RMT certification since 2005
