Because every body is different and the formula for health is unique and different for each person, I offer tailored wellness services for the Body, Mind and Spirit. Having worked in the helping, healing and holistic health arena for over 20 years, I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything that works for everyone or any approach that applies to every-body. We are all so unique in our biology, physiology, experiences, genetics, habits, lifestyles, beliefs and movements that we simply must approach each person as uniquely as we truly are and it’s often an evolution, not a simple appointment.
I offer bodywork and massage sessions that are customized to suit each clients needs, on the day they need it. I utilize a combination of techniques from Thai, Ashiatsu, Swedish (Relaxation), Reiki/Energy, Aromatherapy, Breathwork, Acupressure/ Trigger Point, Cupping, Herbal Compress and Myofacial Release bodywork to meet the goals and comfort level of each person. A big piece of my approach revolves around creating a safe space- for both of us. I don’t subscribe to the “no pain, no gain” approach. Pain is not necessary to unwind even the deepest of fascial layers nor does it help an already over-stimulated nervous system and I have never met another human that doesn’t have an over-stimulated nervous system thanks to our modern society ;)
As a holistic focused practitioner, I work with people to facilitate balance, harmony and re-establish a healthy homeostasis in the body. A huge component to achieve those goals is regular support and activation of the parasympathetic nervous system— the rest and restore system of the body. Our modern society has trained our sympathetic (fight or flight) system to be turned on in ways our bodies were never designed to sustain and as you may see around you in friends, family, co-workers or yourself… a chronic sympathetic state leads to dis-ease in the body, mind and our lives.
Thankfully, some simple lifestyle changes, regular bodywork, body awareness and shifting sub-conscious patterns have been shown to provide greater states of regulation, rest, restore and repair in the body which leads to:
Increased Cellular Healing
Decreased Pain & Inflammation
Healthier Tissue and Muscle Tone
Improved Sleep & Cognitive Function
Elevated Mood & Increased Relaxation
Improved Immune Function
Increased Mobility & Decreased Injury
Increased Sense of Well-being
Increased Organ Function
Increased Hamony Among All Systems In The Body
Increased Happiness, Harmony and Success in Life, Relationships and Our Work
My Why
Like most people that work in the health and healing field, we are here because our personal journey with pain and healing brought us here. My goal is simply to share what I have learned, continue to learn as a lifelong student of optimizing our human experience and empower others to find safety confidence and vitality in their own body and life.
Early in my life I struggled with a great deal of dis-ease in my body. Intuitively I knew I needed to seek out practitioners and education that worked in healing and not just illness— as our intuition is always right, it was the best decision I’ve ever made and fed me with tools to overcome the distress I was experiencing. My mental, physical and emotional health, relationships, job satisfaction and creativity all became brightly amplified when I decided to get in the drivers seat and make my health a priority rather than handing that power over to another. I now feel empowered, confident to experiment and deeply in-tune to my bodies messages that it gives me and my hope is for everyone to have this sense of power over their health outcomes, body and life.
Work With Me
I have been where you are and let’s be honest, somedays I still am. Life is busy, stressful and overwhelming already and when you’re not feeling good in your body, knowing which way to go can feel outright impossible. Our modern society is sadly not designed for optimal health and longevity and the never-ending claims/products/programs/diets and other health related noise on the internet has become yet another source of stress for most. Simply put, people are the most successful in their health goals when they have a support, a cheerleader and some guidance from someone who’s been there and done that and holds a belief of success for them. I try to be for others, who I needed when I started my health journey.

“I’ve seen Michelle’s health coaching in action with my patients and I’ve now had the privilege of experiencing her massage therapy skills personally. She’s amazing at both! She helped this poor mama remember what relaxation actually is 😂. Her positivity and intuitiveness are infectious. I can’t wait until my next appointment! 💆🏻♀️”
“Michelle is an incredibly intuitive and compassionate holistic practitioner. She knows her stuff and provides great support for mind body and spirit wellness. I’ve had several massages from Michelle and every time I feel wonderful. Thank you so much for all you offer!”
“I got to know Michelle as a health coach for my daughter and I. She is kind, compassionate and encouraging. I appreciate her so much as she does not look at one piece of your life but as a whole, emotionally and physically. I recently went to see her for a massage and she addressed my concerns with great care and compassion. She even went out of her way to send me resources to aid in my healing journey. It is evident that she has a great deal of passion for her work and her clients. I highly recommend!”
“I have been seeing Michelle for about a year now for different issues. One thing I love is she doesn’t take a one size fits all approach to the body. When I had shoulder, legs and neck issues, she used different techniques depending on my problem and she really listened to me! With her background in nutrition and holistic healing she offers a complete understanding of what will help me feel my best!
Her energy is infections and her office is so chic, warm and inviting! I’m so happy to have found her!”
“If you’re looking for a person who cares as much about your wellness as their own, Michelle is your inspiration. I have never met a more genuine person and her only goal is to help you find the best balance for your mental, social and nutritional health.
”
“Michelle is passionate about each person’s health - she loves to equip people to find what is best for their unique bodies, minds, and spirits. She is kind, funny, and an ever-curious lifelong learner. She’s a joy to work with!”
“ I love Michelle!! She’s so fun to work with and is a wealth of knowledge. She’s practical and open minded, and will work with you to find the best lifestyle choices for your unique self.”
“If you are looking for a massage therapist who is intuitive, professional, talented and a natural healer, look no further. Michelle’s calming and nurturing presence plus her attention to detail creates such a soothing experience. I was so calm and relaxed during my last massage with her that I actually fell asleep! As a person who experiences high levels of stress and difficulty sleeping, I highly recommend seeing Michelle for massage therapy. I am sleeping better and feeling more calm and well overall.”
