Michelle is great. Excellent experience! Great deep tissue massage. I will definitely be returning.

Was referred to Michelle by my health coach as I shared I was having bad pack pain that wasn't going away and seemed to be getting worst... like I had a pinched nerve or something more going on. I reached out to Michelle promptly after being given her information and she responded back fairly quickly. Her online booking was super convenient and allowed me to navigate through her services to see what I felt would best fit my budget and what services I wanted. I booked a deep tissue/Swedish massage as well as cupping. Her office was very easy to find and in a beauty salon. Plenty of parking. I was given a warm welcome by Michelle who had such great energy and an awesome vibe. Her work space was very clean and private, also had some great relaxing Hawaiian/Island music going. Michelle herself is also very personable and carries conversations very well... a good balance of talking but also some shared silence. It had been a while since I had a massage and the first I've ever had a deep tissue massage and cupping so I was prepared for a bit of relaxation but more of the intensity of it since I knew I was very tense and experiencing pain in various places. I immediately already started feeling relief shortly after my massage. I was very happy with my overall experience and do plan on returning to Michelle for future services and would highly recommend her! read more

Excellent massages! I've been going to her for years and have gotten both Swedish/deep tissue and prenatal massages. My body always feels relaxed and not achey after I go in for a session. Highly recommend! read more

Michelle is the best. Super friendly and accommodating. She knows which days I am not feeling very chatty so we will have a quiet zen session. When I am feeling chatty-we catch up on life. She really works to get the knots out of your muscles. I always feel awesome when I leave. Hubby goes to her as well. 10/10. read more

Michelle is awesome! Had a pregnancy massage and it went exactly how I wanted it. She asked about my problem areas and the pressure was just the right amount! She has a great sense of humor and is friendly. I'm definitely booking again. read more

Michelle was recommended to us from our chiropractor. I went for my 2nd massage with Michelle yesterday. She is skilled at what she does, she's down to earth and a true "people person". She has a great bedside manner and not only asks what concerns I have but genuinely listens - it shows in the work she does and areas she focuses on during the massage. Her space is clean and comfortable. She follows Covid safety precautions and takes our safety seriously. I can't wait until my next massage! read more

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and have been suffering from back pains. I posted on Nextdoor asking for recommendations and a neighbor recommended Michelle. I sent a message to her this morning and asked if she can squeeze me in today. I'm very lucky and was able to get in! Oh what a relief! Even if I only got a 30 min-message, I instantly felt relief from my backpain. Thanks so much again and I'll see you next time! -gayle read more

Michelle is awesome and super down-to-earth! Both my wife and I have had massages by her and have absolutely no complaints! My wife has made Michelle her go-to whenever she need a massage. She's incredibly knowledgeable about her craft and masterfully balances being professional and personable at the same time. read more

I had a 60 minute massage with Michelle earlier and it was amazing from the moment I entered her business. She was very warm and welcoming and her massage room is super cozy! I was so relaxed, it felt like I was sleeping on a cloud, but that is just how comfortable her massage table is. I even tried cupping for the first time today. It was exactly what my body needed! Michelle's energy is amazing and is truly blessed with healing hands. Highly intuitive! I'm extremely grateful to have found an amazing massage therapist in the area. Looking forward to many more sessions!! read more

Mellow like jello- this was my first time seeing Michelle at her new place (saw heather at the previous location). I went into this appointment feeling so tight and tense and walked out like a jello mush with a smile. read more

i got a massage gift certificate from my sister for my birthday earlier this year and finally used my certificate last week. My sister raved about Massage by Michelle and was looking forward to my long awaited massage. I arrived at Hercules Fitness and parked toward the back across from the motorcycle shop. I was greeted by Michelle and she asked me where I parked. I told her I parked on those empty lots across the motorcycle shop. Michelle said that was a tow zone and offered to move my car which was totally fine with me because that would totally suck if my car got towed. Michelle's massages was just phenomenal. I felt relaxed and very comfortable. Michelle was also easy to talk to and had great conversation with her. It felt like Michelle was a long lost friend of mine. I would definitely be coming back to Michelle. read more

I've been a client of Michelle's for a couple years now. Her skills never cease to amaze me. She is a true professional that has great client relationships and even better hands. She knows where I hurt and makes it better. Michelle is always willing to find time to work me into her busy schedule. If you need help with those tired, beat up muscles, Michelle is the one for you. read more

Michelle is amazing. I get massages pretty frequently & have been to many different places... She is one of the best. She has many years of experience & knows her craft well. I highly recommend her. read more

Finally, a massage therapist that easily earns her tip! Michelle definitely sets herself apart from other massage therapists. She doesn't use a cookie-cutter routine for all her clients. That's my assumption because she won't massage an area of my body more than it needs to be. Seeing her was a must during my muay thai days. Tip: appointments 3 weeks in advance get a $15 discount. read more

I had a 90 minute massage with Michelle this week. Her studio is in a fitness center and is kept clean and comfortable. Michelle is very personable and makes you feel at ease from start to finish. She even asked me what kind of music I prefer, which I thought was quite considerate. If you're looking for the soft spoken hippie type with tranquil waterfall sounds and candlelight in the background, she's not your gal. If you like deep strong hands that get the knots out in a cool down to earth atmosphere, Michelle's got skills & you can't go wrong! Oh yeah... Super reasonable pricing read more

Michelle is awesome! I feel like I have wasted money on all of the other massages that I have paid for. I hurt my back a few weeks ago while on vacation and it was still bothering me so I decided that I needed another massage (I had 2 while on vacation and they didn't help). I am a member of Hercules Fitness and I had seen Michelle's business cards and decided that I would give her a try. Michelle was able to fit me for Saturday and I am so happy that she did. Michelle made me feel very comfortable, she asked a lot of questions to get an idea of where my pain was, spent time showing me how to stretch at home and really worked hard on my muscles. The next day was the first day in 2 1/2 weeks that I didn't wake up in pain. Of course I already booked my next appointment! read more

I found Michelle via Yelp search. I have been working out a lot and was in need for a deep tissue massage. Michelle is located around the corner from my home which was a big reason for me deciding to go to the location. Anyway, I made my appointment online which is a plus. Upon arrival I was greeted by Michelle who was very nice and warm. She led me to the room to get ready. The room is small and cozy. The massage table was heated which was nice. The massage itself was just ok. I requested a deep tissue massage and it felt more like a Swedish massage. But it was still relaxing and I even fell asleep. The only complaint hence the 4 star and not 5 is there were several empty food dishes and coffee cups in the room. That was a big turn off for me. A massage room should be clean, calming, and free of debris. read more

I have even going to Michelle for over a month now to help relieve my back pain due to an injury. She is amazing and does wonders to help me relieve the tension in my back. From the beginning she asked how much pressure I can tolerate. I was grateful she asked because I cannot take the deep pressure most places use. Most deep tissue massages feel like torture for me, but not with Michelle. She has a fun and down to earth personality which is always a hoot. And she is flexible and works well with my schedule. All in all I would highly recommend Michelle. A small part of me is telling me to be selfish and say no, don't go to Michelle! That way she won't be so booked all the time. But honestly, you can't go wrong going to her for a relaxing massage. read more

I found Michelle on yelp and am I glad I did! She was so genuine when she came to greet me. The room was comfy and peaceful. and perfectly warm. I relaxed right away. I had not had a massage in 5 months and was in much need of one and my shoulders were extremely tight. Michelle did a fantasic job and I love how she incorporated a whole mixture of techniques in her massage. I am definitely going to Michelle for regular massages from now on! = ) read more

I walked in nearly crippled. Walked out feeling like was ready for a marathon. Great massage. Thanks Michelle! read more

Every time I come here, the massage gets better! Six stars for Michelle-- I'm a huge fan. Michelle is a natural healer and knows where I store my tension. What makes an A plus experience even better are the little things like the essential oil with eye mask that Michelle puts on my tired eyes. Today, the peppermint oil made me think of Christmas candy canes and though a little got into my eye, I thought the scent made the experience special. I especially loved the inspiring piano soundtrack that Michelle had playing and there was one song with birds singing in a rain forest. That was pretty cool especially combined with the relaxing sounds of the running fountain in the room. What nice touches. Thanks Michelle! read more

Michelle is awesome! I had my first deep tissue massage with her this morning ($10 off on your first visit) and she definitely did a number on my back, shoulders, and IT band and it was excellent haha. Michelle is very accommodating swapping emails with me all week trying to find times that worked for both of us. The courtesy appointment reminder text and email confirmation were very much appreciated as well! Can't wait for my next appointment! read more

Michelle did great. I like the music backround and prenatal massage she did. I wish she can also include feet because it was some of my favorite area to be massaged at. But over all it was good experience. read more

This place is GREAT! I got my first massage from Heather and she was awesome. She took the time to explain about massages (since it was my first time). She also recommended some stretches to help me with my lower back problems. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I saw Michelle twice and she was really good at providing the right amount of oompff that I needed. I have been to some that made me want to cry, and some where I wondered if they were doing anything, but Michelle was right where I wanted. On a scale of 1-10, I need about a 7-8. To me, 9 is making you cry, and 10 is where you scream with pain. Michelle hit me right in the range, and found the numerous spots where I needed some focus. The only downside is trying to book an appointment with her since she is typically very busy. read more

I got a post-surgery massage from Michelle. It was fantastic. It was relaxing and the studio is nice. I've been to many day spas, and this was a relaxing massage. Just the best. Convenient location with easy parking, too. read more

Somehow I have gone through life for 30+ years and never had a massage. Had my first one with Michelle. She was great and affordable! She was the perfect person to go to to get introduced to massages and now go every month to see her. read more

I have been to massage places all over the Bay Area and during my travels to other states and countries. I can genuinely say Michelle has been the best by far. It is incredibly refreshing to meet a massage therapist who carefully communicates with their clients and actively listens. She was very attentive to my needs and was able to provide immense relief to specific areas in my back that have been paining me for years. I didn't even realize some other areas were tense until she worked on them. Not only is Michelle very skilled, she has a warm and fun personality that will put you at ease. I really enjoyed my experience and have made her my go-to massage therapist. Book with her now. You won't regret it! read more

Michelle is the bomb. Plain and simple. Also she is hilarious. Girls got some jokes. Big thumbs up and big toes up :-)

She is super nice and great at what she does. I wish I was getting a massage right now!

When I was pregnant I came to Michelle for a massage. I felt she did a great job and really paid attention to my aches and pains.

Michelle is the total package. She is professional, personable and makes you feel at ease and comfortable in her "office". I had never had a massage before, but her deep tissue massage combined with the help of my chiropractor has made me a convert. She has personality to burn and a real desire to help her clients. Love that gal! read more

I just had a 60 minutes massage with Michelle tonight and it was amazing. My whole body was so tensed and sore from all the running and hiking, and after my massage I feel like a brand new person. Already booked my next appt. Highly recommended! She's the best ! read more

Awesome massage!!!! My friend love the whole process. Will be going back. Very professional and and was not aggressive. It was just amazing.

Michelle is amazing!! I went in to see her because I had terrible lower back pain for a week and nothing was helping. Michelle was so kind and took care of asking me really helpful questions and really pinpointed where the pain was originating from. She also found other tense spots that, although were not painful, could have been contributing to the pain. She was always conscious of asking how well the pressure/intensity was making sure I was always comfortable, and she did not cut corners!! I have to say it's one of the best massages I've gotten and I've gone to a lot of places in the Bay Area and on vacation and this one by far is one of the best massages I've gotten. She's also a very caring person who will give you advice on how to keep the pain at bay. My back pain is gone! I feel great! Thanks Michelle! read more

Great personallity, made me comfortable. Ambiance was nice and she played great music.

I'm a massage connoisseur. I've tried lots of SPAs including the ones in Napa, Calistoga, and five star hotels and I must say Michele's treatments can compete with all those. I highly recommend Michele. Try today! She is so accommodating. Thanks Michele. read more

If you are looking for a massage therapist who is really good at what she does (seriously), call Michelle. Michelle really cares about the quality of service she provides and is really great at listening to your needs and giving a relaxing, yet effective massage. She is very good and I must say, her prices rock! Don't hesitate to call Michelle, she is one of the nicest people I know and she will take great care of you. I love her work and I am looking forward to my next appointment. read more

Michelle is so awesome! She is very accomodating, and a very good masseuse. I am 5.5 months pregnant and have been suffering from sciatica pains. Michelle has given me relief from the two sessions that I've done with her. Although the relief is temporary (the only thing that would make it permanently go away is delivering the baby), it is so worth it. I'll be seeing a lot of her in the 3.5 months left of my pregnancy. read more

Michelle is a true professional who makes you feel like you are on a tropical island when you are in her studio. My wife got a massage and came home completely relaxed. read more
