I would definitely recommend Michelle. She has a way of pinpointing the problem and really working on the area. The massage felt so good and I am definitely going back.
She has a very calming presence. I appreciate when she asks questions when she gets to a sensitive spot. I feel fortunate that I "found her" at Rasani Fair.
She is completely knowledgeable and sensitive in what your body needs. She is kind, friendly and I feel tremendously better after our massage session.

Michelle listened to my problem areas and really worked on those areas. I slept so good that night and my leg which usually hurts when I get up in the middle of the night was so much better. I was very impressed with Michelle and how she massaged my body.
