I came to see Michael because of chronic neck and shoulder pain as well as poor posture. His bodywork is AMAZING. Michael really has a gift. I feel so much more limber and freer in my body. Many friends and colleagues have noticed the change in my posture and presentation. Michael exudes positive energy. I would recommend him highly.

Prior to my sessions with Michael, my body was constantly over-tense, due to my work as a visual artist. Since starting bodywork with Michael, my body is more centered and in dramatically less pain. Every time we finish, I can’t wait to go back — he’s a true miracle worker!

In my bodywork sessions, Michael makes me aware of tensions in my body that I can’t notice myself; by drawing my attention to them, I can explore and release them. I’ve rid myself of several deeply-buried emotional scars this way. In some ways, it feels like a form of non-invasive surgery. We never know what we’ll discover, and I keep coming back for more.
