Owner/Licensed Massage Therapist

Starting at a young age Michael has felt a calling to both help and heal. His gentle, compassionate nature drew Michael to spend many years as a teacher of young children as well as spending time working with seniors rehabilitating from injuries and sickness. Spurred by many years of receiving massage and physical therapy himself and seeing the tremendous benefits it had for his own health Michael felt a calling to pursue massage therapy and alternative forms of bodywork. Michael graduated from the Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy in January of 2013 where he gained a strong background in Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology. He now works full time as a licensed massage therapist and bodyworker. Michael has a distinct style, integrating many modalities into his unique sessions.

Known for his specialty in trigger point work and release of tight muscles in the neck, upper back and shoulder Michael utilizes a varied pressure depending on the client’s needs ranging from a light touch for calming and relaxation to a deeper pressure getting into those tough knots and deeper muscle layers. Michael prides himself on the strong and lasting relationships he has fostered with his clients. Whatever your needs, trust in Michael’s care for an overall restructuring of the body, mind, and spirit.
