As a licensed massage therapist in Michigan, I believe healing happens when hands, heart, and intention work together.

Whether you’re in Williamsburg, or spread across Traverse City, Suttons Bay, Torch Lake, Elk Rapids, or Kalkaska, I tailor each traditional massage session to meet your body’s needs that day — be it pain relief, mental relaxation, releasing muscle tension or restoring comfort.

What Makes This Intuitive Massage Different

Here’s what you can expect, and why so many clients tell me this is exactly what their body needed:

• Personalized approach — Before your massage begins, I talk with you: What hurts? What feels tight? What do you want most (e.g. relief from back pain, neck stiffness, pampering or just mentally letting go)? Then I map out the flow of the session around your goals.

• Free add-ons included — When I say “all inclusive,” I mean it. Without extra cost, you’ll get things like moist heat via hot clay packs, choice from a wide selection of essential oils, my homemade herbal-infused oils, and locally made broad‐spectrum CBD oils (if that resonates with you). These are not “extras you pay more for,” they’re part of the treatment.

• Flexibility with positioning — If lying down is uncomfortable (after surgery, injury, or just from pain), no worries. We can adjust: side-lying, semi-reclined, supported, etc. I accommodate whatever position feels safest and most healing for your body.

• Focus on pain relief + relaxation — Yes, I love helping people unwind. But I also take the work seriously: easing chronic muscle tension (think shoulders, neck, lower back), reducing stiffness, helping improve mobility, relieving pain from postural stress or overuse. And then, once the body is more at ease, letting you drift into that soft zone of true relaxation.

• Intuitive massage – this is a personalized, holistic session where your body’s cues guide the flow. Each treatment blends relaxation, therapeutic touch, deep tissue and energy-aware techniques to support stress relief, ease tension, and help you reconnect with your body’s natural balance.

Who This Massage Helps Best

Clients often come to me because they are:

• Carrying tension from daily stress, desk work, driving

• Dealing with chronic aches (low back, neck, hips)

• Just finished physical activity, recovering from minor injury or post-op

• Wanting regular self-care to maintain wellness, sleep better, feel less “on edge”

If your body feels stiff, sore, or just run down, this is for you.

Where I Work & Who Can Book

• In-office location in Williamsburg, MI — perfect if you can make the drive.

• Mobile massage service — I travel to you in the following Northern Michigan areas: Traverse City, Suttons Bay, Torch Lake, Elk Rapids, Kalkaska, and nearby. If driving is hard or you just want the convenience, I bring the healing to your space.

What to Expect in a Session

Your full hands-on massage time – no clinical (50 min.) massages here.

We begin with a short chat to review your body’s story, what you want out of the massage, any areas to avoid or focus on.

Gentle warm-up strokes, optional heat (clay pack if you like), then deeper (or lighter) work depending on your tolerance.

Use of oils (essential, herbal infused, or CBD blends) to enhance comfort, ease friction, relax tissues.

Time built in for slower, calming strokes  — to “seal” in relaxation, reduce soreness, help transition you back into your day with no rushing you out the door.

Why MIB Certification Matters

Being certified through MIB — The Mind Body Institute means I’m trained not only in technique, but in listening to bodies, respecting boundaries, and integrating a mind-body approach. I want your massage not just to feel good in the moment, but to support your healing, your rest, your resilience.

Tips & Practical Info

• Wear whatever feels comfortable. I’ll handle draping so only what’s worked on is exposed.

• Hydrate before & after — massage moves fluid, and water helps your body flush and recover.

• It’s okay to ask for adjustments — pressure, speed, position. Your comfort comes first.

• Tips are appreciated but never expected. I’d rather you get the massage than not due to tipping.
