Meet Danielle Thunig

The Unexpected Path That Changed Everything

After leaving her job as a pharmacy tech, Danielle became a stay-at-home mom with two young kids. Wanting to return to school as a medical assistant, she applied to a nursing assistant program—but it was full. A counselor suggested she try massage therapy for just two weeks.

That decision changed her life.

Danielle discovered not only a skill but a calling—one rooted in healing, connection, and empowerment. Nineteen years later, she’s now a licensed holistic provider with a track record that includes high-end resorts, spa chains, and now—her own business.

Founder of i-thriv

“From Stay-at-Home Mom to CEO—this journey is proof that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival.”

The Birth of Silver Liner… and the Pivot That Followed

While raising her children as a single mom, Danielle began building Silver Liner Mobile Massage Studio. She spent nearly 2 years gutting and rebuilding an Airstream into a luxury wellness trailer—while juggling full-time work and motherhood. When the Airstream was finally ready in 2020, COVID shut everything down.

With the world on pause, Danielle returned to part-time spa work—but everything had changed. The energy, the restrictions, the burnout. It no longer aligned with her vision.

So, she moved back to Moreno Valley from Orange County, started small, and began rebuilding.

A Spark in De Luz: Hacienda Mimar

Danielle and her partner purchased a home in Temecula’s scenic De Luz area and transformed it into a 5-star vacation rental named Hacienda Mimar. She began offering spa parties to guests, uncovering a hidden demand for immersive wellness experiences. What started as a simple add-on blossomed into a retreat-style service model.

In 2024, Danielle decided to end the vacation rental to focus fully on growing Silver Liner Mobile Massage Studio. The business expanded rapidly across Temecula and the Inland Empire as she brought on additional licensed therapists to meet rising demand.
