Michael began his massage and bodywork journey in 2013 while studying Swedish and Deep Tissue massage at the Diamond Light School of Healing Arts in Marin, California. This early training gave him a broad foundation and opened his eyes to the many ways bodywork can positively impact clients’ well-being.

In 2015, Michael continued his studies at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration® in Boulder, Colorado, where he became a Certified Rolfer®. His approach to bodywork emphasizes understanding how the body moves as a whole—recognizing relationships, patterns, and compensations that influence posture and function. A history of chronic pain from old sports injuries deepened his personal connection to this work and inspires his commitment to helping others.

Michael believes effective therapy begins with a solid understanding of anatomy while honoring the client as a whole person. His therapeutic style addresses the full human structure—connective tissue (fascia), bones, ligaments, joints, and muscles—rather than focusing on isolated areas. He enjoys working with clients on a wide spectrum of goals, from pain relief and recovery to enhancing mobility, performance, and overall quality of life.
