Testimonials
"Michelle not only has the magic touch - she's a magical person. Her knowledge and devotion to healing and preventing illness and injury is unmatched! I adore her. My level of trust is so high in Michelle that I took both of my children to her from a very young age. Both have had sports-related injuries that Michelle has assisted them through, and now as young adults they continue care with Michelle."

"Michelle is a fantastic and knowledgable therapeutic massage therapist who finds and kneads away the knots in my IT bands, legs, back and neck before they get the chance to cause me pain. With her gentle manner and firm pressure, she has been able to virtually eliminate the migraines that once plagued me. Now she is helping me lower my stress level by using a relaxing massage therapy technique.
At the beginning of each session, Michelle asks me what areas might be sensitive, and which may need extra attention. She has suggested exercise equipment that helped me control pain in my feet and lower back. I have relied on her professionalism and for many years, and I trust her recommendations. I have recommender her expertise to a number of my friends, and all of them have been as enthusiastic about the care they received as I have!"

"Michelle gave me my first massage in 1988 - fresh out of school. I have been seeing her for regular care ever since. She has helped me heal a seriously strained rotator cuff and TMJ - while keeping my body tuned and attuned all the while. Her healing gifts work on many levels, and I am grateful to be in her care. Words fall short explaining just how much she has helped me over the years."

"Michelle is an incredible healer. I have been seeing her for regular massage work for almost a year now, and I can't imagine not having her work as part of my health and wellness regiment. Receiving regular massage has become one of my important monthly self-care rituals. Her mind/body techniques that she incorporates in her massage allow me to deeply relax and release patterns of tension that sometimes need some extra work.
After seeing Michelle a few times, and having her ask me about the tightness I was experiencing in my calves and hamstrings, she suggested that I decrease my salt intake, or switch to Redman's Real Salt. She explained how much that was effecting not only my muscles, but my blood and organ function. Since then I have made the effort to cut down my salt intake tremendously, which she noticed almost immediately while working on me after making the switch.
​
Michelle has also been an incredible advocate for me and my husband making healthier and sustainable changes to our dietary routines. We did an in-store consultation with her at Trader Joe's that really opened our eyes to some of our not-so-healthy habits, and encouraged new choices that have now become second-nature to us. We learned about some new vegetarian and raw food options that we have also added into our weekly meal planning. Her generosity in sharing recipes and following up with us via email was very helpful, too!
​
From day one, I felt very comfortable and safe under her care. There was an immediate knowing that her expertise would guide me to a new level of connection to how my own body moves and feels before and after one of her sessions. Her massage studio space is very simple, and is warm and comforting - which is the perfect way to relax and unwind. I am very grateful to have met her, and to continue to work with her on optimizing my wellness.
