I have had the distinct honor of working in many clinical settings where my love of bodywork originated and continues to grow. My style of bodywork is more medically minded with integration of eastern and western modalities. I challenge myself daily to expand my knowledge of human anatomy and kinesiology to help me better serve and treat my clients. 


It is my goal to listen to my clients complaints, assess their posture and range of motion, and help them function optimally in their daily lives. I believe that with compassion and intention I can make a difference in your health and wellness. 

I am trained in Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Tuina, Nuat Thai Massage, and Sports Massage. I have extensive experience working with pregnancy, injury repair, MVA/WC, geriatric, pediatric, and athletes.I enjoy working with any and all populations!

Thank you Michelle for making time for me in an emergency.I feel so Much better today after a thorough work up for my bathroom fall. I learn so much from you about my body at the same time. Thank you for being a teacher along with being such a skilled healer. With gratitude, Guadalupe Guajardo, PhD

Michelle really knows her stuff! Not only does she know what she is doing - she cares about the overall well-being of her patients. She also offers recommendations for stretching and exercises to improve target areas.

Michelle, You are amazing for your age: the depth of your knowledge, skills, and abilities is extraordinary . You have also found a way to be flexible about your practice. You are nothing short of brilliant in your field. And you manage to be warm, friendly, personable, and very accessible. Part of your youthfulness is passion, zestfulness and enthusiasm. The unintended down side is this commitment can make you overly eager and ambitious to be a good healer. This is an assumption I"m making about your motivation. My one suggestion is to check in often with your clients on the table about pressure. As I age my weaker body is more fragile and I don't have the same tolerance for strong hands. Thank you for asking for this feedback. Another example of your professionalism and authenticity. Brightest blessings, Guadalupe Guajardo

Michelle is so amazing. I have seen many many massage therapists and she is by far the best. She has an amazing understanding of body mechanics.
