Massage is a luxury for some, but a necessity for most all who invest in their whole self.

I grew up in Tumwater, WA.  I attained my AA degree, then graduated from Seattle Massage School in 1989.  I've worked in a physician owned physical therapy clinic, a chiropractic office and my own solo practice for 10 years,  then opened and operated my own medical spa for the next 10 years in Covington, WA.

I sold my spa to work with my husband who was a family physician practicing functional medicine. We worked and learned together for the next 8 years until he passed in 2016.

Looking to start life over in a simpler slower place, I moved to Great Falls, MT and began working as a functional medicine health and nutrition coach, and now massage therapist.
I get to do what I Love and Love what I do.  Massage and natural health coaching allows me to serve God by empowering others with the knowledge and skills I have been blessed with.

I worked in 2 physical therapy clinics, a chiropractic office, and private practice for 10 years before establishing Elle Clinical Day Spa in Covington, WA for the next 10 years.

I've had the pleasure of going to Michelle multiple times, and it is always wonderful, but this appointment was for sure the best massage I have ever had in my life. She carefully listened to my body and gave just the right balance of relaxation and deep tissue to help me loosen up. Appreciate her skill and experience so much.
