Bodywork Experiences

Being in the bodywork profession for 10 years, Michelle is the one I go to for all of her services. Her environment is relaxing and healing just like her services. I always feel great and excited to return! She loves what she does and is passionate about helping others!

Michele was very helpful in helping me understand the benefits of cupping. She was intuitive and caring. I definately recommend her.

I wanted to let you know that I loved the Hot Palms massage. That was absolutely wonderful. The little warms packs stayed warm for my long session and was not to hot. Ohh to have that done was heaven!! The hot palms were not awkward feeling or anything, they just glided on the skin as smoothly as could be. The heat is of great benefit to anyone with fibromyalgia or arthritis or both like myself. I could really feel my muscles relax. I cannot wait to do this again!! Thank you so much and again you are the best.

I have been struggling with shingles and the after effects of shingles.  Shingles leaves nerve damage in some cases.  When Michelle spoke to our group a while back, I considered that the reflexology might be something that I try.

Well Michelle and I tried this yesterday.  I must say that I have read about this - and I can be pretty cynical about things - but finally I decided to try it, that it couldn't hurt!  This treatment is an unusual sensation -- and when Michelle worked on the area of my foot that corresponds to the affected area - I felt a very unusual 'flutter' -- not quite a spasm .... flutter is my best word.  It was deep in the affected area.

I left feeling very relaxed, but not really any change that was discernable.  BUT - today, I really think the area seems much better.  Strong narcotics are usually the main way I get relief - but I have taken nothing today. I was surprised to find myself grabbing the vacuum and cleaning the floor ----- without any thought.  This is a big step for me.

I am going to see Michelle again on Saturday for a conventional massage - but I would strongly recommend reflexology is a great option for anyone who has pain and does not want the affected area touched directly.

Words are hard to find to describe what a joyful presence Michelle has been in my life for over a year now.  Shortly after meeting her in a women’s networking group, I began seeing her twice a month for Reflexology sessions and fell in love with this method of healing and relaxation.  Michelle definitely has the magic touch and each time I go I become more addicted to the way Reflexology makes me feel relaxed, renewed and better able to function in daily life.

I still go on a regular basis and consider it a necessity of sane living, rather than a luxury.  I also highly recommend her Thai massage; WOW, it’s fabulous!  I love the combination of massage and stretching and find it completely revitalizing.  90 minutes doesn’t seem long enough!

While I enjoy the feeling of well-being I receive from our time together, what I like most about Michelle is her bright, friendly personality.  We have a great time talking and laughing together and I have found her to be very dedicated to her continuing education & personal growth.  Michelle is a sweet & positive person who truly cares about the health & wellness of others.

I just wanted to let you know that I have tried other massage therapists in the past, some only once some of them a few times. I really want you to know that I have found you to be the best yet. In all honesty, you truly have a gift. This is not something I say lightly.  I really feel it takes someone special to be so good at something. You always seem to be in so tune to how I feel.  I never had reflexology before I met you, it is wonderful. It is impressive to see how much you can do, so many types of therapies that you provide and those wonderful oils. It’s nice to have someone who is so knowledgeable and can recommend a different therapy that may work better. I can’t wait to try everything. I wish you and your business well but you cant loose, you have the gift to share. Thank you for sharing with me. Bless you and your hands of healing.

I highly recommend Michelle's healing massages for others.  Michelle's talent in delivering a relaxation massage comes naturally.  I love the solar plexus points of care.

Even better is the Thai massage which Michelle's strength as a therapist shines through in the overall experience.  I was in pain prior to beginning the session and afterwards I felt my joints and muscles relieved and willing to move again!!

Thank you Michelle for continuing to design your practice to support your clients with quality care!

The biggest dilemma I have when making an appointment with Michelle is which treatment I want to have…all are so wonderful and relaxing.

I think my favorite is the reflexology raindrop session.  When Michelle explained reflexology to me, I was very skeptical.  Having someone touch my feet is far from enjoyable as they are very ticklish.  The concept was intriguing and I gave it a try, it was great and despite my skepticism it is truly relaxing.  Now I am sold on the benefits of reflexology.  The first time we added the raindrop therapy at the end; I went home and had the best night of sleep ever.  It is the most amazing way to eliminate stress, sore muscles, and other health issues.  If you haven’t tried this service yet, you are missing out on a fantastic experience.

Thanks so much for providing chair massages to me and my staff during tax season.

I appreciate your flexibility in scheduling. We enjoyed your unique combination of traditional and Thai massage in the chair. How relaxing!! I know that you spend quite a bit of time on continuing education and believe me, it shows! I know I can count on you to be a true professional. Your services are always appreciated - you are a gem!

I felt so at peace after my reconnective healing session with Michelle. I slept very well and very deeply that night, and even days later, feel
more inner harmony.

Product Experiences - Essential Oils

I have used several of the essential oils and some blends, but my all time favorite is lavender. I use it any time I’m not sure what to use. I suffer from mild acne and have found it to help dry up pimples and almost eliminate blackheads. I finally got my teenage son to use it and he says it’s the best thing he’s tried (we’ve tried EVERTHING for him).

Not to mention he must smell good when he goes to school……..I’m sure the girls love that! My youngest son (now 8) loves lavender. He suffers from anxiety (can you imagine….at 8?) so he has trouble sleeping. Sometimes at bedtime he asks for the “calming down oil” (otherwise known as lavender). I give him a couple drops in his palm and he rubs it on his stomach. When he gets a nervous stomach before school I give him either lavender or Acceptance to rub on his stomach. Seems to make a big difference.

I’ve also used peppermint and lemon for heartburn. I just put a drop or two in a glass of water or right in my mouth if I’m unable to get a water right away. Works great.

I’m totally hooked.
