Danielle

LMT

I grew up in Veneta/Elmira area, but recently purchased a house in Eugene. I’m married, and we have a dog named Jessica who is 4 years old. I have been doing massage for almost 4 years now, and still love it. I am very passionate about what I do, I like the clinical environment because it causes me to think more about how to solve problems. Work is a big part of my life, but my other hobbies include weightlifting, hiking, kayaking, and spending time with my husband and dog outside. I am so glad to be a part of the PTS family, and plan on staying for a long time!

Joyce

Administrative Support

I graduated from Linfield College with a bachelor’s in Business Information Systems many moons ago, and am quite content with my rudimentary knowledge of computers :-).

When I’m not performing support staff duties at the clinic, I work for PeaceHealth full time as an Analytic Reporting Developer. Whew!

I absolutely love to spend time with my boys when I can, especially when they are home from college. In the in-between time, I’m digging all that Oregon offers, especially gardening, walking, and hiking, regardless of weather. When it’s a bit chilly outside, I really love to get creative in the kitchen and watch the news.
