Introduction: Our treatments are not cookie cutter massages. We focus on what is ailing you and customize your massage with a variety of treatments to best serve you. We do not have a routine as each person and ailment is different and requires different treatments. While most places rush you out in exactly 1 hour (paperwork and all), we take our time helping you to understand your pain, what could be causing it, and where it's source is. Then we get to work on eliminating it at it's source rather than just massaging where it hurts. A one hour massage can often times take 90 min - 2 hours when all is said and done (and if you, the client, have the time available). In April 2016 we received certification in Equine and Canine Sports and Injury Massage Therapy making us the perfect therapy to all mammals of the 2 legged and 4 legged variety! Nothing is better than watching a client with Plantars Fascitis who was unable to sleep comfortably go dancing with friends within 4 weekly sessions. It is the greatest feeling in the world to know that I have changed the lives of my client's for the better in a way that few others have been able to.

I work in an office setting, and was diagnosed with carpel tunnel in the summer last year. My doctor suggested surgery, and I really wanted to avoid that at all costs. I came to Michelle feeling fairly pessimistic. I was dropping things constantly, I had pins and needles in my fingers, and severe pain in my wrists. I was further surprised when Michelle treated my neck, and not my shoulder, arm, or wrists. However, after my FIRST visit, I felt immediate relief, and after my third visit...I was supremely confident that I was going to avoid surgery, which I did! After roughly 5-6 sessions, I had no symptoms at all. The bonus to this is that Michelle was able to get me reimbursed from my FSA, so my treatments cost me nothing in the end! Her office is cozy, warm, and tranquil, which isn't my speed, so she turned on the Phillies broadcast for me, when requested, lol. This woman knows EVERYTHING about the human musculoskeletal system, she's truly amazing. If you're in pain, to hell with the doctor....they'll give you pain meds to help manage the pain, or cut you open....Michelle will make the pain go away PERMANENTLY, and teach you how to keep it from happening again. I now only see her monthly, but this was actually Michelle's goal, not mine. Truly, she is a medical gem in the rough.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I gauge my prices on frequency of when someone comes in. This helps those who need to come in frequently afford treatments easier and it also is easier on me. A person receiving treatment more frequently responds faster each session with less work. These appointments come complete with a consultation to understand your pain plus stretches and ergonomics to help your pain in between appointments. For new clients and those who come in every 6+ weeks: 1 hour = $80, 90 min = $100, 2 hours = $130 For appointments every 3-5 weeks: 1 hour = $70, 90 min = $90, 2 hours = $120 For appointments every 1-2 weeks: 1 hour = $60, 90 min = $80, 2 hours = $110 We also have separate rates for shorter appointments. These do not include a consultation, stretches, or ergonomics...they are designed for those with limited time to target a specific problem: 15 min (for Sinus help, Acid Reflux, Headache relief, and other short treatments) = $20 30 min (targeted area like the lower back, the neck, one side of the neck to one arm, etc) = $50 Additional treatments: PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) Stretching - assisted stretch to target and isolate specific muscles. 15 min (roughly 2-3 muscles) $20, 30 min (roughly 4-5 muscles) $40 NP (Neuro-Proprioceptive) Taping aka Kinesiotaping, KT Taping, and Therapeutic Taping. First area $20 ($15 if added on to a massage or PNF Stretching appointment), $10 for each additional area
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Every year I take new certified classes, but I am consistently researching every week on my own as well.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I actually started as a child. My mom bought me a book on massage and a bottle of oil for Christmas when I was about 8. Yes, she had an ulterior motive. But by the time I reached adulthood I realized it was something that I not only had a natural talent for, but that I enjoyed doing it.
