Dan's techniques are unlike anything I have ever experienced. He is so original and puts all of himself in his work. I have had other massages which are ok but seem like text book mechanical repetition of motions learned. Dan puts all of his soul and energy in every movement and no two massages are identical. He responds to what your body needs at that time. I view him as a brilliant artist who is performing a symphony, creating masterpieces with each movement, each breath; it is pure bliss and brings you to levels of relaxation and peace like I have never experienced. Dan has the energy of a healer, and it shows in everything he does. He is kind and generous and funny and simply in tune with his clients. I cannot recommend him enough!!!

A must to visit! Gatineau park is just beautiful. Close to Ottawa, with so many lakes including Pink lake (green), trails, wildlife, breathtaking views especially from Belvèdere where you can see as far as the Outaouais River. Good variety of restaurants (Chelsea) it does not matter the season of the year, each one is unique in its own way. In Autunm enjoy the colors is just magic!!! My favorite place in the Outaouais.

This park was one of the highlights of our trip to Canada. We had been bemoaning the fact that we hadn’t seen much wildlife whilst travelling around Canada and we’d been driving around for over a month. Well... we got our wish to see some when we visited this park. It was the Thanksgiving Long weekend and we thought it would be crowded, which it definitely was, but it didn’t really matter. The 5 species of deer that roam free in the park, as well as the bison, had voracious appetites for the carrots we, and every other vehicle entering the park, had bought to feed them. They have no fear of humans and come right up to your window, often sticking their heads right in, to get your “offerings” and are extremely gentle and delicate in their acceptance. You can pat them and give them a gentle scratch while they’re chowing down. You’ll also see black wolves, arctic wolves, arctic foxes, mountain goats, a moose, coyotes and bears- cinnamon and black, though these are kept behind fences for the protection of you and your vehicles. But you still can get quite close to them. You can drive around the very large park as many times as you like. We went around twice and went through 3 large bags of carrots, and had a wonderful time doing it, with lots of great photos To remember the day. We didn’t have any kids but there are heaps of things for the little ones as well to keep them entertained all day. The time flew by and it was a shock to see we had been there for over 4 hours. If you get the chance, add this to your bucket list. Lynette

Great place to visit, may be a bit hard for some to walk up from the parking lot, but worth it. Makes for great photos. A nice walk with flowers around, the 'prime minister's chalet ' more a tea and coffee area. Those ruins were the first places i visited as a kid and still is a joy to this day. I prefer spring or fall to visit but summer is good also
