Michelle is very busy and for good reason. She's talented! Do not call looking for a massage in the next week, call knowing you will have to schedule weeks in advance. Yes, of she can fit you in, it's worth the wait! If you got an appointment, she's talented and you'll feel lots better. She's great at her profession and clearly communicates during the massage asking if you're comfortable etc. etc.
If you're looking for a wonderful massage and can wait a few weeks, then go for Michelle. If you're trying to be seen in the next few days, go elsewhere. If you are struggling with health complications like myself, Michelle has a lot of experience and you can tell. Patience is key, as she books out months BECAUSE she's so good at what she does. This isn't some big spa, it's a small location that's clean and quiet and safe with one or two others working, but it's very personal experience which is so nice.
Gift certificates are great presents! Was lucky to have found Michelle as she helped me through a LOT. A genuinely kind woman doing what she loves and making people feel better and smile every day. Again, patience! She books up. I have to remind myself as well. There's a reason she's busy: SHE'S GOOD AT HER JOB.

AMANDA is an EXCELLENT therapist that is kind, talented and professional. My 13 yr old who has a neuromuscular condition that causes him to be hypersensitive to touch has had great improvement since seeing Amanda. She has patience and is flexible with her technique. The combination of utilizing physical fitness and massage has made my son's condition virtually obsolete. I am so fortunate to have found her! She is a true gem!
