Services
CranioSacral Therapy
This gentle, hands-on method evaluates and enhances the CranioSacral system surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By releasing fascial restrictions, it improves central nervous system function, effectively addressing migraines, chronic pain, TMJ disorders, and stress-related conditions. Our certified practitioners use both individual and multi-hands techniques to accelerate therapeutic outcomes.
Deep-Tissue Massage
Targeting deeper muscle layers, this therapy employs neuromuscular and connective tissue techniques to relieve chronic tension. Therapists use sustained pressure and slow strokes to break up muscle knots, improve posture, and increase range of motion while maintaining client comfort through personalized pressure adjustment.
Reiki Healing
A Japanese energy healing practice that channels universal life force energy through hand positions corresponding to energy centers. This non-invasive treatment reduces stress, promotes relaxation, and supports the body's natural healing processes for emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Prenatal Massage
Specifically designed for expectant mothers, this therapy addresses pregnancy-related discomforts using side-lying positioning and specialized support. It reduces swelling, alleviates back pain, improves circulation, and promotes relaxation through gentle techniques tailored to each trimester's requirements.
Hospice Massage
Gentle touch therapy adapted for terminally ill patients, focusing on comfort and dignity. Using modified Swedish techniques, it helps manage pain, reduce anxiety, and improve circulation while respecting individual mobility limitations and care settings in home or facility environments.

Wow unprofessional and rude on the phone. Whoever answered the phone spoke in a rude and condescending manner once I mentioned I couldn't afford $90 hr. They apparently offer no intro rates so don't bother asking because they take personal offense once you do. I mentioned a few places in the area with lower rates and the staff member yelled at me that they abuse their workers and don't pay them enough. No reason to be an A hole to potential clients a friend who gets messages their recommend it and now they lost 2 clients. Skip this place they don't want your business and are A holes.

I saw the owner of this massage practice Michele. She was extremely professional and well versed in her craft. From the start she probed carefully through my complex symptoms that I was experiencing, and had great listening skills. She offered helpful suggestions and our dialogue was more of an educational conversation from start to finish. The service was phenomenal and I have to say after two days I am still feeling Migraine Free.
I will be continuing to see her as I feel regardless of how long I stay migraine free, the services she provided will be great addition to my regimen. Very interesting helpful services indeed! Thanks Michele!

Has worked with Michelle for over 2 years utilizing craniosacral therapy. She takes the time to get to know you and therefore is able to relate with empathy. Thanks to Michelle I had some self discovery breakthroughs. Her space is a space for openness/healing. Thank you.

I suffer from chronic pain and was facing two major joint surgeries. I had a dramatic reduction in pain after my first craniosacral massage from Michele. It allowed me to start yoga and mobility workouts, and after only 6 monthly sessions, I'm relatively pain-free. Honestly, it feels miraculous even while knowing the science behind it. I highly recommend Michele for anyone dealing with chronic pain.
