Michael is absolutely phenomenal! I’ve had both shiatsu and chi nei tsang massages with him and I’m blown away by his expertise. He has an exceptional understanding of the body’s meridians and trigger points - you can tell he’s truly mastered his craft.
What really sets Michael apart is his knowledge of different massage modalities. His shiatsu work was incredible, and his chi nei tsang massage, especially in the stomach area, was transformative. He was able to work on areas that other therapists have completely missed, and I could feel the difference immediately.

I have been going to see Michael for several years. I suffer from chronic pain and have been through two shoulder surgeries. Michael's expertly applied deep tissue massage has been magic for me. If you are looking to release stress and tension and to heal from chronic pain, Michael is your person.
Fantastic deep tissue massage! Michael is detailed, attentive, flexible in his approach and communicates very well to make sure he adjusted to patient needs each session. His knowledge of massage techniques is second to none. I’ve been going to Michael for over 2 years and highly recommend his work!
