Welcome to my HAPPY PLACE! Massage Therapy has always been a passion of mine, life happened and I finally decided to take the jump (with a little fire that was lit by my very great friend and mentor Hope) to attend school and chase my dream. By surrounding myself with the most wonderful people who encouraged, supported, cheered, and yes even sometime cried with me... I finally made it to the place I have always wanted to be, helping others feel like they can take on their next challenge.

I would tell and have told friends that she really cared about all my body issues and attacked them gently but got results. I feel so good still today. Relaxed and mindful. She truly cared about me and it shows that she loves her job. I will more than definetly be back to this heavenly place. She ensures you are comfortable with everything she does before she does it. But still makes it relaxing. Doesn’t talk to much and it was not awkward for me. If you aren’t comfortable in your undergarments you can keep all of your clothes on. She also only exposes the body part she is working on everything else is under the blanket. When she did the glutes section of my massage she did it through the blanket and never once did she grab my butt. She is phenomenal and will recommend her to every one that I can. Thank you Heather for being so professional and sweet! You are an angel!

I went to massage school when I was younger and have had many massages and different types of bodywork. Michelle has set up her 'office' as an extremely comfortable and relaxing space. She sat down with me in her upholstered chairs and we talked for a while about what I wanted from her. I appreciate that so much because most therapists (in any field) will have the client fill out a form and rush to the table. Michelle was also interested in my life and what I enjoy and what might cause me stress. Once on the table, the skill was apparent. Her touch was very therapeutic, and she was very clear in asking about the effectiveness and comfort of the pressure she used. I was there for some therapeutic, deep tissue and recovery work. She is very skilled at deep work. I found her intuitive understanding of my issues to be a healing experience. For example, when I got there, I had trouble walking from hip and lower back pain. After my session, I was moving with zero pain. Overall, my experience was excellent. I highly recommend Michelle, so much so that I bought three gift certificates! I hope you enjoy your visit and get out of it as much as I did.

Michelle listened to what was bothering me and gave those areas just a little extra love. That was the quickest hour of my week, I wish it could have lasted longer. I went home and took a great nap.

Michelle has a great attitude and works hard at adjusting her techniques to those areas needing attention. Great move to a new quieter location as well. Highly recommend.

Michelle knows how to put you at ease even when she's working deeply and it can be painful. She is very skilled at finding the areas that need work and is sensitive to the client's tolerance level. And she's just a really nice person!

While her technical skill is on point, Michelle is much more than a skilled massage therapist -- she is a healer, and one who demonstrates intuition developed from experience as well as genuine concern for her patients. Don't know what I would do without her! Highly recommend.

Your massage will be exactly what you tell her you want! Michelle listens. She really wants to know how she can help you feel better. The least little indication that you want extra attention somewhere and she is right on it; "more pressure", "less pokey", "that neck stretch with the towel" and she gladly adjusts to your requests. Her dialogue and focus on your needs is something I have seldom found and it will make your visit a great experience.

Amazing massage by Michelle as always. I always feel so good leaving there. I wish I could go more often!
