I founded Massage Lake Charles with a mindset for improving the massage experience for the people of Southwest Louisiana.


I saw the need for a clinic that provides professional massage therapy, with therapists who are qualified to provide results-based massage treatments, at a price point people can afford.


At Massage Lake Charles, every session is customized to help restore movement and correct restrictive holding patterns from injuries, stress, and repetitive habits, through multiple massage modalities.


I specialize in Myofascial Release Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Self-Care Education.


I have personal experience with recovery from multiple surgeries, injuries, and unfortunate life situations where unwelcome physical or mental stress was keeping me from enjoying a pain-free life, so I understand what you may be dealing with.


I am a great communicator, and I am patient. We will accomplish your wellness goals together.


Massage Therapy is my second career, following 20+ years in sales and consulting.


I am in my happy place and I want you to be there, too.

I appreciate the detailed information that Machelle shared with me concerning and while doing the massage. It was completely relaxing and beneficial to my well-being. Machelle is totally professional, and I have recommended her to two of my friends.
