Michelle’s journey in health and wellness began in 2010 through weight training and a growing fascination with how the body moves. She earned a B.S. in Kinesiology from The University of Texas at Austin in 2014 and specialized as a health fitness instructor. After navigating her own pain and recovery challenges as a powerlifter, she expanded her work into massage therapy.
Michelle believes movement and recovery are essential to longevity, independence, and feeling at home in your body. Her approach combines therapeutic massage, movement education, and practical guidance clients can continue between sessions.
As a parent, Michelle understands how difficult it can be to prioritize personal health while caring for a family. Her goal is to help clients build realistic, sustainable care into their lives—whether that means keeping up with their kids, returning to a favorite activity, or simply moving through the day with greater comfort.
