REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST

(She/Her)
Available Tuesday, Wednesday + Thursdays

Michele’s love for running is what originally brought her to massage therapy. After years of mileage on her feet and a series of injuries, it was during her recovery that she discovered the restorative benefits of massage therapy and began pursuing a career as an RMT.

Encouraging the body to reduce tension while increasing mobility, her treatment style includes combining her assessments into techniques of deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization and active/passive stretching.

Michele’s experience includes treating acute and chronic overuse injuries, sports rehabilitation, pre and post-natal massage and discomfort incurred from long hours working at a desk. Her intent is to return your body to a place of balance and she encourages clients to be an active part of the recovery process by providing informative client education and personalized home care.

When she’s not at Therapy Health Studio, you can find her running the seawall, at the beach enjoying the sun, or hiking the North Shore Mountains.

Mt Pleasant local’s tip: Fable Diner. Don’t overthink it. It’s in the building, right downstairs, ready to greet you with their tasty roast duck pancakes post massage.

Top self-care tip: Make a conscious effort to carve out time for yourself to be alone, recenter, and recharge. Whether that be a walk in the evening or a long bath.

Why Therapy Health Studio? The neighbourhood is what originally brought me to Therapy Health Studio. I love the hustle and bustle yet community feel of Mount Pleasant. Once inside, the gentle creaking of the hardwood floors, combined with the eclectic heritage home vibes and humming of the street noise below, encompasses all the best of Vancouver in a self-care space. What keeps the joy in coming to work is the badass lady gang who practice in this space and the clientele. As soon as clients step through the door for a treatment, I want them to know that this is their space and this is their time. As they feel their face nestle into the headpiece, I hope they can let go of whatever it is they’re holding on to and detach from any stress they may be carrying around with them.
