Dan was born in Moscow, Russia. He started his college education learning mechanical engineering, then after arriving to the United States, began exploring various study venues in psychology, philosophy, economics. As he worked at the stock/commodity brokerage firm, he would set up a massage table in the office and treat his fellow traders to stress relieving massage during lunch. Dan had always been fascinated by human anatomy and the way human body functions, mysteriously bringing all its systems into balance when provided the proper environment.
 
The energetic aspect of human body became his prime interest. In 2006, he received Level 1 and 2 Reiki Certification and 2 years later was initiated into Master's Level. Since then he took part in teaching and initiating over 100 students into Reiki Healing System and helped many clients to achieve their mental and emotional peace, improving their health and overall well-being and transform lives to the better.

In 2023 Dan revisited the Reiki teachings and had the honor of being re-attuned into all four degrees of Reiki, attaining Shinpiden and Shihan qualifications. This enabled him to provide services and teachings at a broader and deeper level, sharing what most Western practitioners do not.
 
He is certified in Tong Ren and Seraphim Blueprint, the unique, powerful, non-intrusive restorative energy healing modalities. Cell Salts and Bach Flower remedies are among his favorite gentle homeopathic assistants.
In 2018 he graduated from the Bonita School of  Massage Therapy, FL and obtained LMT license and level 3 Reflexology certification.

Dan combined the learned and channeled skills into his Signature "Energy Reclamation Service" during which unresolved life long acquired issues , obstructing the perfect well-being, are surfaced and addressed, to restore peace and harmony.

Dan leads Thursday evening  weekly Handpan Guided Meditation: Balanced Mind, from 6:30-7:30 PM,

and a monthly Kirtan Gathering from 3:00-5:00 PM on the third Saturday/month.

 Tatyana was born and grew up in the Soviet Union. Her grandmother was an herbalist. From a very early age, she always took Tatyana with her to the Ural Mountains to gather the herbs she needed. This most likely defined Tatyana's path in life. She always wanted to help people, and be of service. Due to specific times, her parents wanted her to have "more reliable future"
so she earned a degree in metallurgical engineering, worked for five months, after which, she put her diploma in a drawer and set out to explore new horizons: psychology, psycho-oncology, aroma psychology and olfactotherapy, plant-based nutrition, bioresonance testing, and much more.
  Now she is happy because she does what she loves, and I truly wants the people around her to be happy and healthy.

A Florida Native, Marva graduated from Florida International University in 1978 with a BS in Physical Therapy.

She is now retired from clinical physical therapy and enjoys her small private clientele.

Larry’s career in the massage and energy profession began in a 1989 workshop on Polarity Therapy in Montreal, Quebec, while on what would be his last aerospace assignment. He was pulled immediately to the Ayurvedic energy model of health — it simply made sense — which led to his leaving aerospace and to the study and practice of Polarity Therapy as a path to vibrant health.

Becoming a licensed massage therapist in Florida, Larry to this day combines Polarity Therapy and Orthopedic Massage, a medical massage, to transform his clients’ lives.

​

His method gives them freedom in their bodies to engage fully in our modern, high-tech world — without being run by it — by restoring them to their natural calm and vibrant wholeness.

Jo Jo Shakti Barnhill is a speaker and author. For more than four decades she has studied movement, leadership, human performance, health and healing in real environments across five continents. High performers often succeed outwardly while quietly drifting inwardly. Expansion happens but something essential feels off. 

​

Know Thy Body emerged from this work. It teaches leaders how to recognize internal signals early, refine their decisions and grow without losing structure. Her experience spans government offices, private practice, community initiatives, kitchens, classrooms, international service and public platforms including PBS and NBC. The through line has always been the same: disciplined awareness applied in real time.

​

People work with Shakti when they are ready for the next level and want it built on steadiness, not strain.

Her work blends therapeutic bodywork with intuitive energetic awareness to support people in releasing tension, restoring balance and reconnecting with their bodies. Jo Jo's approach is rooted in a guiding philosophy I call Know Thy Body. When we learn to listen to the body with curiosity instead of force, it often tells us exactly what it needs. Sometimes that means deep tissue work. Sometimes it means gentleness. Sometimes it means breathing and allowing the body to soften. And occasionally it means discovering muscles you did not know you had. Mixed Healing Modalities is Jo Jo's gift to share.
