What People Are Saying
“Dr. Dan is a healer...with a heart of gold, with hands that are gifted. We met during a business trip with 4 colleagues. We had only met that day; after a long day...I complained of knee pain. Dr. Dan touched points on my arm, and my knee stopped aching. I looked at him in amazement...it was like magic. I highly recommend Dr. Dan and his services. Thank you, Dr. Dan, for all you do in addition to the service you offer.”
— Dawnn, Yelp Review“I want to give the biggest thank you to my spiritual brother, Chrystian. he has been of major importance to me in my wellness journey… I appreciate everything from his knowledge of chakras and his amazing skills as a bodyworker. I couldn't ask for a better person. After each session, I have left feeling more myself and able to accomplish my next task… Thank you for helping me achieve my goal last week and for being part of my self-care week…”
— Lala, Yelp Review“I love this place for all its offerings. Check the website to book bodywork and massage.
Today I had a treatment from Chrystian, and I left feeling so much better.
There are also Tai Chi classes here that I've tried. A lot of people show up regularly.”

Who We Are
This isn’t just a practice—it’s a commitment to work that matters. We believe in high-quality, heart-centered care that addresses the root of your health, not just the symptoms. At Orcanit, our mission is simple: to help you smile, heal, and live your most vibrant life.
Our Manual Chinese Medicine Process
“Everything But The Needle!”
Step 1: Assess & Diagnose
Step 2: Formulate the Strategy
We never guess; we assess. Your session begins with a detailed intake and a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) evaluation of your tongue and pulse. To pinpoint exactly where your energy is blocked, Dr. Dan applies targeted acupressure to identify any disharmonies in the meridians or channels. This ensures your treatment is mapped precisely to your body’s current state.
You’re part of the process. We keep communication open and decisions shared—no black boxes or surprises.
Your healing doesn't end when you leave the table. At the end of your session, we break down our clinical findings so you understand exactly what is happening in your body. We then build a clear, actionable follow-up plan—recommending the right membership cadence, future treatments, or daily habits—so you can maintain your momentum and keep making an intentional impact on your health.
Step 3: Treat & Restore
This is where the physical reset happens. Based on your exact diagnosis, Dr. Dan applies a customized, dynamic blend of manual Eastern therapies to clear blockages and restore alignment. Your session may include Tui Na (therapeutic Chinese massage), cupping, TENS therapy, specialized soft-tissue tools, and active range of motion (ROM) work to immediately reduce pain and improve mobility.
Step 4: Review & Realign

For Manual Chinese Medicine and Tui Na, please wear or bring loose, comfortable clothing (like gym or yoga wear) that allows for a full range of movement; this helps your practitioner perform structural assessments and deep bodywork effectively.
If you are joining us for Reiki Subtle Body, soft, layered clothing is ideal to keep you warm and relaxed as your body shifts into a restorative state. We also suggest staying well-hydrated before and after your visit to support your body’s natural detoxification and recovery processes.
We encourage you to bring your own reusable bottle so you can fill up with our ionized, hydrogen-rich water before and after your session—staying hydrated is key to supporting the shifts in your nervous system and physical recovery.
