  • Michele is the best! She gets down to the core of the problem and peels it off layer by layer. No superficial treatments. Her background, knowledge of anatomy and understanding how the human body works makes the difference in the results. She has helped me so much in managing a medical issue/ chronic pain after exhausting all other treatment options, aside from surgery. Because of her massage and manual techniques I can continue working a very physically strenuous job, take care of my household and all the other tasks required of me as a busy mom. Do yourself a favor and go see Michele!

Michele is very knowledgeable and treats the root of the problem. Her background as an Occupational Therapist adds to her skill set and understanding of the human body and how to treat it as an entirety. She listens to one’s personal and daily needs and adjusts her manual work accordingly, finding a great balance between tension release, relaxation, increased mobility and overall well-being. I highly recommend Michele!

Michelle has done an excellent job with alleviating my lower back and hip pain. I can now do some poses, including sitting cross legged in yoga class that I was unable to do before. Her massage studio is tranquil and eases the mind and the body! I would highly recommend her 1 - 1.5 hours massage as there are no kinks left at the end of the session! My body actually feels like it is breathing and flowing again.

Thank you so much for sharing your outcomes. This will help others so much when they learn the power of massage on the body. Wonderful news, Deborah.

Michele's new location is beautiful. Here office is clean, warm, and inviting. There is a peaceful restorative quality to it. I have been Michele's client for over seven years. Her work, from our first session, was truly remarkable. Michele is an extraordinarily engaged, curious person, and she is constantly learning new techniques, so sessions continue to evolve in a beautifully organic fashion. I am amazed after massage to feel more restored––physically, emotionally, and psychologically––than after vacation. Michele also brings to her work a thorough knowledge of human anatomy and musculature from her years of experience as an occupational therapist. She is a rare gem, combining her great technique and knowledge with a lively spirit, warmth, and empathy. I have recommended many people to Michele over the years, and they have, without exception, been delighted with her work." -Mr. G., Orchestral conductor/pianis

Michele displayed professionalism during the entire time. She had me fill out the appropriate paper work, discussed with me what brought me to massage therapy, and worked my sore muscles for at least an hour. I have not had a massage for at least 10 years. Her techniques appeared to b estate-of-the-art. She came highly recommended. I would return to her however I live so far away and my commute is over 80 miles roundtrip.
