Michael's massage was excellent. I had mostly recovered from a lower back strain, but my muscles were still tight. He quickly found the spots needing help and worked the knots (and there was stretching). It was making a difference, so I asked if we could extend the session to 120 minutes. He was already booked, but next time. Finding a massage therapist with his skill level -- plus a medical background with rehab experience -- is rare. Feeling warm coconut oil drizzled on my body and hot towels at the end made me feel like I was melting. I quickly felt the effect of Michael's relaxing vibe, and I still feel the calming effect of his massage a week later. Put him on your list for a top-notch therapeutic session, and book extra time before you go.

Meeting someone for the first time can me a little nervous, but from the initial meeting, he made me feel comfortable and at ease. he was prepared an professional. I had tweaked my back and had a knot and some pain on my left hip area and it hurt to get in and out of bed, and to walk... he worked on all areas of my body, but the focus he provided where I was having issues, was intense but provided relief over the next few days. I can get in and out of bed with ease now and have been taking 2 walks a day. GREAT MASSAGE. He can work out your pain issues and make you feel better and very relaxed. I will be making another appointment where I can just have a pain free massage :-)

Michael was incredible! He was able to get rid of my migraine and back pain in one session! He was so cordial and professional, made me feel at ease and checked in with me throughout my massage to make sure the pressure was correct. 100% recommended! Will be scheduling another massage in the near future.

I have been getting massages for about twenty years, and tend to stick with someone once I connect, often for years. Because my former therapist is no longer in practice, I had to seek out someone new which can always be harrowing. After one session with Michael, I know I have found my new guy. I had a therapeutic deep tissue massage for two hours, and it was on par with some of the best I have had over the years! I booked about a week in advance, and Michael was a great communicator on the front end regarding the scheduling, logistics and details, as well as setting expectations and providing clarity. The morning of the massage I got a final confirmation, too. That afternoon Michael was on time, ready to go, and really listened once we were in person. I have had some really good deep tissue work over the years, which really helps my stress and addresses tension, and Michael was able to truly tune in, follow the energy, and then also check in verbally to ensure his read was right. He also did a significant amount of stretching throughout, which always helps. He finished on my back, neck and shoulders, as this is where I hold so much of the tension in my body. It was great, and I can't wait to see him again. I have already booked my next appointment!
