Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityResults.Melissa evaluates your body and focuses on your specific needs. My lower back and shoulders were always sore because of poor posture and desk work. I’ve been to massage therapists before and never had anything other than short term relief. After the first visit with Melissa I was getting results. She worked with me on being mindful of my posture, dug into my muscles and fascia, and even educated me on what fascia is and what it does. With some homework stretches and a few visits, I’m on my way to fixing this body.Results.Melissa evaluates your body and focuses on your specific needs. My lower back …More

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityOver the past 30 odd years, I’ve had the privilege to work with a good number of varied and amazing bodyworkers from all over the place, and for my needs/wants, Melissa Michael is simply the best I’ve ever found. Period. I did the 12 Session Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) program and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I don’t recall my body ever feeling more tended-to, tuned-up, and understood. I’m so glad I invested in myself in this way.Melissa herself, is a lovely and gentle human being to be in the presence of and once the session starts, there’s a natural and intuitive strength and a profound understanding of the body that emerges from her that is as comforting as it is moving. And yeah, I don’t generally write these things but Melissa is special and we’re lucky to have here with us in Southern Maine.Thomas DunnPortlandP.S. A particular part of our work together that I find so precious is the invitation to co-creation. When I am able to meaningfully bring my mental attention to the part of my body Melissa is working on and invite it to relax into her work, we co-create and make more meaningful progress together. This reciprocal feedback loop of sorts feels as obvious as it does powerful–and thankfully has never stopped feeling this way. I hope you can bring your own mind’s attention and intention to your bodywork with Melissa.Over the past 30 odd years, I’ve had the privilege to work with a good number of varied and amazing bodyworkers from all over the place, and for my needs/wants, Melissa Michael is simply the best I’ve ever found.
