Michelle is a gifted and knowledgeable healer who is sensitive to women's individual needs.  As a midwife, I refer clients to Michelle for treatments when indicated.  I have seen her work assist women with discomforts of pregnancy, fetal positioning, and postpartum healing.  Her work can make a significant positive impact in the childbearing year. 

 I received a prenatal and uterine massage from Michelle and was very impressed with her skill, knowledge and gentleness.  Not only did she address the problems I was having with effective therapy, but she made me feel comfortable in the process.  She was very attuned to my needs as a pregnant woman.  It is difficult to find someone skilled at giving bodywork during pregnancy and I am very lucky to have found Michelle. 

I am so thankful that I met Michelle during my pregnancy -- and early on. A friend of mine who was also pregnant had gone to her and received so much benefit from her treatments that I decided to call her. I'm glad that I did. Michelle was a huge support during my pregnancy.  She is very compassionate, kind and a very good listener, which is what I needed.  She met me on all levels: emotional, spiritual and physical.  Physically, she helped ease many of my pregnancy discomforts including headaches and foot swelling.  Emotionally and spiritually she was my rock when I really needed one.  I love the spiritual baths.  Another thing that I really liked is that she taught and encouraged self-care measures.  I highly recommend Michelle and plan to continue seeing her for postpartum support.

My experience with Michelle began when I was pregnant and I am SO incredibly thankful that I got several sessions in with her toward the end of pregnancy because I am certain that my baby and I both benefited tremendously-- my only regret is that I did not see her throughout my pregnancy, it is such a wonderful and necessary treat. I always left feeling lighter, as if nothing at all was stuck, fully aware that nothing can hide from those magical hands. I have always felt so safe, nurtured, cared for, and surprised on numerous occasions what I was holding onto that needed to go!
So beautiful~ EVERY woman can benefit from this unique and all encompassing kind of care~ I honestly can not recommend it highly enough!
I have seen Michelle since my baby has been born and AGAIN my entire body, mind, and spirit have leaped with joy afterwards--- after a few tears of course!
This is the easiest and most effortless way I know to rejuvenate, cleanse my spirit, and reground.
I totally love and appreciate all Michelle does and gives-- forever and ever amen!!

What I gained from my experience with Michelle in just two sessions was absolutely invaluable! She not only has a wonderful, healing energy, she was sincerely interested in my continued wellness and taught me techniques to use at home to further my progress. Not only have my physical symptoms improved, but I feel more hormonally and emotionally balanced. I am beginning the transition of menopause and I prefer to go through this phase of my life as holistically as possible. I appreciate Michelle's technique and approach and believe it will support me in doing so. I highly recommend her work!

I originally came to see Michelle because I was just curious about Arvigo massage, never knowing it would be a turning point for my health. Michelle has helped me more than any doctor or alternative therapist I've seen in the past 5 years of searching. I was suffering from: chronic infections, painful intercourse and irregular cycles. Those issues are all gone now and have stayed gone! She's a gem in my book and I highly recommend her :)   

I went to Michelle because I had a painful menstrual cycle and had not been able to get relief from other health practitioners. What I discovered is that she is not only a gifted massage therapist -- she is a true intuitive healer. She offered me a new perspective about my body that dramatically improved not only my periods but also has positively affected my overall health. My regular sessions with her are one of best things I've ever done for myself. I go with gratitude.

I have been seeing Michelle for 3 months and it's changed my life! My digestive problems have improved 110%, I have more energy and was able to stop taking a couple of prescription medications. 

Michelle is a wonderful practitioner. She takes time to listen to your concerns and adapts her techniques & knowledge to meet your needs. Michelle continually strives to educate herself in women's health issues. I started seeing Michelle a year after my c-section with twins. I was having a shocking pain left inguinal area. After 3 visits, the shocking pain is no more.

Michelle is a wonderful, caring healer. I have seen dramatic results from her abdominal treatments helping me to recover post-hysterectomy. I would recommend her to anyone with female issues or digestive issues.

 
I was unsure of what to expect at my first appt. with Michelle. She exceeded my hopes and expectations. She tended to my "whole" body and gave me hope where I had none. All other professionals I had seen offered me nothing compared to Michelle. I broke my tailbone during the birth of my first child and I credit Michelle with saving me from that experience with my second birth. Each appt after the initial one proved to be equally, if not more beneficial. She is worth every penny.

I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone in need of her gentle yet powerful touch. I personally have dealt with "female issues" for many years of my life and found Michelle's Arvigo technique to be profoundly helpful. In addition to being an awesome practitioner, I found Michelle to be a wonderful human being.

I went to Michelle all through my pregnancy and some afterwards. She is an exceptional healer, woman and human. I have great admiration for her and would highly recommend her to any women with menstrual issues, pregnancy, PMS, etc. She helped me so much.

Michelle is fantastic! She is a gifted healer who seems to work magic. I leave her massage table a new woman and my peri-menopausal symptoms have disappeared!  

 
I have journeyed with Michelle through birthing my 4 kids and becoming a widow suddenly. Her healing touch and capacity to contain the whole of my experiences with holiness and compassion bring tears to my eyes just to think about it. The intimate needs of being mother are understood & supported on the mental , physical, emotional and spiritual levels. She is Austin's treasure and the Mayan Abdominal massage is phenomenal.

Within the past four months I have seen Michelle for abdominal treatments.  I used to have severe menstrual cramps and lower back pain due to my cycle, and have been amazed that these cramps have "suddenly" subsided.  I have no doubt that the ease with which my cycles come and go is due to the massage treatments I have been getting from Michelle.  These treatments are more than just a massage--it is a mind/body connection.  Michelle's warm hands and heart are her true gift, which she genuinely shares.

Michelle’s work was an instrumental part in my ability to finally conceive.  I had been trying for about a year when I started to work with Michelle and was under the care of a fertility doctor. Michelle’s massage work assisted my body in getting to the healthy point it needed to be for conception to occur.  I conceived in mid-July and am expecting in early April!  My conception did not require any fertility drugs.  I did have a laparoscopy which dealt with Level 1 endometriosis, but other than that, it was purely natural.  The ability for me to conceive without fertility drugs was due in large part to Michelle’s work in getting my body where it needed to be for conception.

In February of 2007, I began seeing Michelle for general abdominal and bladder challenges. In a few visits, my symptoms began to improve, as I did and continue to do, the self-care she recommended. Her ability to blend knowledge, training and intuitive knowing gives her the capacity to practice abdominal massage with positive results. Her healing abilities are evident.

Michelle’s gentle hands deserve a tremendous amount of credit for my unusually healthy (both physically and mentally) and comfortable pregnancy. Her monthly massages were the single best investment I made in my body and my health during those 9 months.

Michelle’s intuitive touch, gentle energy, and ability to know where my body needs work are what elevate her from “massage therapist” to healer. I always know that I will come away from a session feeling not only better physically, but more balanced and grounded.
