I know the time spent in a massage session is valuable, so I honor and respect my client by being fully present.
My practice is a “boutique style” massage practice not a high volume practice. I limit the number of clients I see each day so that each woman I work with receives the highest quality of bodywork I can provide.
Been seeing Michelle for years and she is always amazing!
I would tell friends it is wonderful and relaxing experience.
Michelle did a great job focusing on my problem areas and had the right pressure to relax my muscles. It was a relaxing environment!

This was my first time here and it was enjoyable. I just wanted a massage to relax and it did just that. I could smell essential oils which was soothing and the massage was so relaxing I ended up falling asleep I’d say sometime during the last 10-15min of the service. I would definitely recommend and she is located in the middle of Hartford which for me at least is super convenient.

This was the first time I saw Michelle. She was able to get me in with a couple hours of my call. I was in terrible neck and shoulder pain that was affecting my work and quality of life. In 30 minutes she was able to release the muscles enough to provide much needed relief. Within a half hour of the appointment the pain radiating up my head was gone, by that night I was able to move normally again. I will definitely be seeing Michelle again and will not hesitate to recommend her.

Before this appointment, I was having issues with my right hip. It was so painful that I dreaded having to go up stairs and walking the dog was painful rather than enjoyable. I mentioned my issue to Michelle and she paid particular attention to my lower back and hip area. The problem though started in the muscles on the upper right side (by shoulder blades) and extended to my neck and shoulders as well. After the massage, I was able to walk up the stairs with much less pain. I was very relieved.

Only afterwards, did she tell me it was her day off. I left that little office with tears in my eyes. I could breath again. Her quiet, self less act of compassion, changed the course of my day.
