Michelle embodies love and that is why I recently reached out to her again. Michelle and I have known each other for 14 years, back when we both worked for Canyon Ranch in Miami Beach. At Canyon Ranch I attended several her classes. It was during that time working as a server, that I was inspired to enroll in massage school. At the time of the quarantine, I had just received the Certificate of Use for my own business, RockaBye Massage, and was also working part time at the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami. Both jobs sadly ended abruptly, as a result. This "new normal" was very difficult for me, a person who feels deeply. I lost a personal definition of hope. Lack of hope led to self sabotage and isolation. I came out of my dark night of the soul by reaching out for help. Michelle was the first person that I reached out to. This is because as long as I have known her, her message has consistently been about love. For me, love is the opposite of self sabotage. Since reaching out, I have had the pleasure of attending several of her classes. Most of the classes have been 2 hours. My favorite are her deep dive sessions 5-hour group immersions. Last Sunday I attended a deep dive. We danced and sang, laughed and cried. Drank rose tea and ate tasty snacks. Sage was burned and we set up an altar of roses, various stones, candles and quality chocolate. The air was fragranced by essential oils. I left there feeling lighter, freer, and enlivened. Michelle gives 100% in her classes through her vulnerability, honesty, openness, and vivacious personality! She incorporates conscious breathing throughout her classes, which she has personally developed. Through drumming, singing, flutes, dancing and sound bowls, she facilitates the journey within. She creates a safe and non-judgemental space in the class. I love connecting with others in her class through eye gazing and various activities incorporating appropriate touch. As I breathe, I proclaim positive life affirmations and own them. The E3 breath makes me feel more connected to myself and less disassociated. It has also been a powerful tool helping me face unresolved traumas and tackling the hard issues. I have more peace, happiness and clarity today. It is in this space, true success grows. I am happy to say that once again I have hope and attending these classes and deep dive, has restored my hope in humanity. I am blessed to know Michelle and grateful to have her in my life. I feel so grateful to have opened up to receive all these benefits after the pandemic. read more

I know its a bit lengthy but worth the read as it is true feedback to Michelles work on my body mind and soul. Here is what my experience with Michelle Alva and the Alva method was: Let me just say that since the first time we met I already respected her contribution to humanity, it is a beautiful method and it supports a process of integration for the self to go through in order to shift from negative in general ( anything holding you back from feeling alive and deserving), I was 5 months pregnant when I went to her and had been holding a lot of discomfort in my limbs and also a lot of negative beliefs. Michelle Alva supported me with a custom intro into the session and a release process to go through for my mind and spirit, we had a two hour session so it was more than enough time for me to settle in and not feel rushed, also for me to allow my self to receive fully (which was absolutely hard for me to do in life, but something that becomes easier as I get older and grow), after the releasing process, I stripped and got into her super amazing massage table which has many options in settings (vibration, warmth), but comfortable, she truly makes you feel like a god/goddess, no doubt, she aligned me with her signing bowl, nourished me with her affirming words which were reminders of the divine within me, and lavished me with rose peddles which were also a great way to bring out the feminine in me, and remind me that much like the rose which has such an inspiring role in life, I too was precious, strong and yet delicate as a woman, filled with beauty. She helped me with the pain in my neck and shoulders, the pain in my left thigh (a lack of blood circulation which now was corrected thanks to the message), and she also alleviated the pressure in my head and the pain I felt in my jaw. THANK YOU Michelle Alva such a pleasure to work with you! She makes you feel very comfortable, is extremely professional and nourishing in many ways. I left in a blissful trance, and flowed through out my day, staying present with my current reality at the time and feeling 'oh' so grateful! The breathing technique really is key to processing while she working with you, as she massaged me she intuitively knew what affirmations my heart and soul needed. I practice the technique she showed me with breathing when I need to reconnect to my body and get clear. Thank you again. read more

I recommend ANYONE man or women who struggles with stress, emotional baggage, chronic pain, or pain related to their reproductive system, to see Mitchelle and work with her to receive her methods of self discovery to achieve health and pleasure. Through my experiences working with Mitchelle, And receiving her tantric yoni massage. I have felt energy shift within my yoni, my stomach and heart. I have processed a lot of emotions and beliefs which have been the culprit to pelvic pain, and tightness in my neck and throat. I have released the weight of them from my body which created so much space for me to realize what I want more of in my life to feel satisfied In my relationships and experience more pleasure! My heart has opened, I have realized new ways of believing and talking to myself which are allowing me to put myself first and forgive others. creativity is flowing out of me effortlessly and many unexpected positive opportunities have opened up leading me to prosperity. It is amazing what happens when we dedicate time to go within and release emotions and beliefs that hold us back from living our life to the fullest! I am blessed to have connected with Mitchell she has truly helped me live with mental, emotional, and physical ease. she has helped me realize how worthy and powerful I am and my life has changed forever in the short period of time we've worked together. I look forward to continue working with her and receiving the many benefits of the Alva method and yoni massage/womb clearing !!! read more

Introduction To Tantra taught by Michelle was an incredible experience! It's held in The Standard on Miami Beach, a super lux venue where we were able to spend time in the spa after the class! It was the PERFECT way to absorb the juicy information and connections from the class, while relaxing! During the class, there were solo, partner, and group portions where I tapped into my body deeply using intuition and guidance to bring up doorways for expansion and growth in myself and my relationships. I had a powerful and emotional connection with one peer and we both held each other in an intuitive spirit-led support through eye gazing. It was beautiful to move the stuck energy we were collectively carrying in community while Michelle used breathwork, sound healing, and drumming over my body (my favorite) to awaken my capacity! Roaring and letting my body move me opened me up dramatically and I felt so safe in her container to do that. Michelle has reaffirmed how powerful my OWN medicine is and by having a guide who I trust makes this work so much easier! Michelle is an embodied practitioner who walks her talk! She's skillful in teaching large groups of a variety of skill levels - beginners to advanced! She communicated with deep understanding of her craft and has a unique and refreshing teaching style. Anyone who knows Michelle knows the magnetic energy she possesses and will be cared for, supported, and empowered through her guidance. The ALVA method = h*ll yes! read more

I had the most incredible experience working with Michelle she made me feel so comfortable and open before and during my healing session. When I arrived I was dealing with a lot of emotional anxiety and joint pains specially in my knees and upper back pains, I have tried everything in the past to ease my join pains and visited several doctors all which recommend surgery which would leave me unable to work for a few month and that's not ideal for any parent therefore I began to look for alternative treatments. After just one session with Michelle I felt absolutely no joint pain. The mental work we did helped me tremendously with letting go of past experiences and helped me put the pieces together of what each one of those lessons taught me but to let go of what no longer served me. I walked into my first session with a pain of 8/10 and left with absolutely no discomfort and zero pain. What stood out to me the most was how empowering I felt afterwards! I feel like I was able to hit a reset button and take back my power and confidence! Lastly, I was able to sleep 8 straight hours without constantly waking up! (I've suffered from insomnia for many years) I highly recommend this work to anyone who's suffering mentally and physically. Michelle is a miracle worker and such a delight to be around! read more

Michelle is an angel walking in the flesh! Michelle woke me up! After my very first phone session with Michelle, I was able to connect with my inner self/Soul! Michelle did a few exercises with me over the phone that helped me sleep so well that night and the very next day things and people were being revealed to me. I also had issues being intimate with my husband. Michelle helped me unlock my feminine energy and literally two days after my husband and I started having sex with intense passion! I mean it was good!!! I have also been studying for my CPA and trying to lose weight and this one door that Michelle has helped me open within myself has created a domino effect on multiple areas of my life: igniting me, amplifying my mind, giving me a drive to want to do better, to want to love me better, I mean I have an appetite to live like I'm dreaming! Michelle has instilled in me that "I'm possible!, anything I want or need is possible! I'm on purpose! I live life intentionally!" I honestly cannot find the words the describe Michelle's work because it's so powerful I can't really explain you need to experience it!" I recommend Michelle! Once you schedule a call with her you will have your heaven on earth experience effortlessly!! And all this after a one hour Alva Method session! read more

I'm in heaven.... Yesterday I had the most remarkable pampering, healing session with the extraordinary and gifted Michelle Alva for my upcoming birthday. I just had to share this experience because I feel like everyone needs to have this in their life. She is a true healer and her hands and her heart are magical. You feel the enthusiasm and love of her craft in everything that she does. I left there feeling lighter and more empowered. All sorts of emotions and sensations came up for me, and Michelle just lovingly and in such a nurturing way guided me through them and helped me release so many residual feelings that were trapped within my body that were producing pain, many that I didn't even acknowledge until our session. I must say, she has so many tools in her tool box (she is a physical therapist amongst other things) and no two sessions are alike as she is also gifted with a keen intuition. It is not your typical massage, it felt like sacredly being brought back to wholeness while having all your senses in a state of bliss. If you are looking for a healing massage/therapeutic experience like none other, she's the one! Thank you, thank you, thank you Michelle! Deep gratitude! Can't wait for my next one! read more

Last week, I attended one of Michelle's workshops for the first time. Having some experience with tantric and yogic practices, I was excited to experience Michelle's unique methodology that blends some of these traditions. Immediately Michelle made the entire room feel comfortable in the space by openly sharing some of her own healing story, and gently allowing each of us an opportunity to share what we were there for. She reminded us that: "saying what we want to heal out loud is a power practice that everyone in the room benefits from". Her class was beautifully and intentionally strung together in a way that allowed for our intuitive opening. She incorporated breath work, sound healing, opening of the body, and mantras. I loved her approach, it took us through the layers of our being- starting with the body, quieting the mind, intentionally directing the breath, and softening to allow the beginning of a new relationship with our own source of healing. I feel so much gratitude to have connected with Michelle. I think the energy she embodies is a testimonial to her work. Thank you Michelle, I look forward to learning so much more from you, and sharing these practices with others. read more

Michelle Alva is truly a Master! During massages with her, she engages all of my senses to create harmony and total relaxation. There are moments when I feel I'm floating, totally light and free. At other times I am totally tuned into my body, releasing tension as Michelle coaxes my mind and body to let tension go. I feel safe, nurtured and `stress-free. She masterfully uses a wide variety of techniques and strategies to support healing and detoxification, some of which are energetic and vibrational -- all of which I believe have a very deep and profound positive effect. Most of all, Michelle has a radiant spirit. She is caring, nurturing, soothing, intuitive, calming, powerful, professional and wise. I highly recommend you experience her many gift, talents and expertise as a massage therapist and physical therapist. Michelle truly listens. She establishes a very deep connection with my body, quietly asking it what it needs to be well and whole. I feel the positive effects of our session for a long time afterwards. I savor the experience! read more

For many years I held on to childhood trauma deep within my muscles and tissues. I worked with therapists, energy healers, acupuncturists and even had to have surgery to remove my uterus. Yet the pain remained. Having worked with Michelle, I released the pain being held in my bladder in just one session. Pain the doctors once told me was known as Painful Bladder Syndrome and had no cure. There were days when I just wanted to curl up into a ball because of the intense tension being held in my body from having been molested and raped as a child. Today after having worked with Michelle and her Alva Method, I feel so empowered, to the point that I no longer hold on to the past in my body. I can sit with my fears expanding to what is possible. Letting Go!!! No longer being afraid of what was holding me back. I can create and go beyond anything holding me back by simply shifting my physiology to the here and now. "Just Being" I feel so light and free. I feel so different as a wife, mother, friend and woman!!!! A Magical Transformation!!! read more

Through my healing journey, I reconnected with Michelle Alva which invited me to attend one of her Tantra classes. Excitedly, I accepted without having any expectations nor knowing what I was going to encounter. I absolutely loved it. So much so I returned to a second class. Michelle's knowledge, passion and intention to educate about self love and sexual energy is admirable. She offers a unique blend of breath work to connect with your body, while embracing spirituality, sexuality and sensuality. I appreciated being surrounded in a supportive community of likeminded people who foster a safe place for me to be my authentic self without judgement and hold space for my healing and personal growth is amazing. I can honestly say it's been a transformative experience. I have gained a deeper understanding of myself and it has helped me to explore and understand my sexual energy in a healthy and empowering way. The level of intimate connection and shared energy work I experienced in Tantra class is like no other experience I've had. read more

I have had 4 sessions with Michelle two on phone and they were so productive and healing I drove over 600 miles to have two sessions in person.

I had the absolute privilege of experiencing Michelle's work individually and also with my partner. I've never experienced anything like it. Michelle is one of the most gifted healers I've been around and I've been around many in my life. She's intuitive, professional and takes you places other healers simply aren't capable of. In the individual session, Michelle helped guide me more deeply into my body, getting me in touch with areas of chronic tension and holding I've carried for years, particularly in the groin area. She helped me release these areas helping me connect to my power and potency as a man. In the couples session, Michelle helped my girlfriend connect more deeply with her own feminine essence and helped guide us to better understand what her needs are and ways we can maximize pleasure and intimacy for each other. It was a mind blowing session. The Alva Method is a must experience for any man or woman looking to connect more deeply with themselves individually and as a lover. Try it out! read more

Luckily I was in town for the day and was able to attend a session with a group of other women that had their own incredible stories and backgrounds and it was beautiful. We held space for ourselves while being so damn supportive of each other and it was nothing like I've ever experienced. I had such a great time that I am still riding on this natural high and able to take the things that I've learned to make positive changes in my life. I am so grateful that I was in the area and be apart of the magic that had taken place that night. I highly recommend working with Michelle. It doesn't matter if it's a group setting, with your partner, or solo. I guarantee you'll enjoy every moment of it from beginning to end. Oh, and Michelle herself radiates this beautiful healing Goddess energy!! I found myself feeling safe and ready to face my true self and to allow self healing. read more

I attended my second class ever at Tantra Studios with Michelle . Each class is different and I learned something new at each one. She goes into a quick theoretical discussion to explain how the practical application applies to our body , mind and spirit. Then we did some powerful exercises to experience it. The class gets to share as well, which really helps us learn and bond with others. I was surprised to see how much I had in common with a few others. Michelle is always authentic and speaks what's in her heart and on her mind and she holds no punches! The location where she holds the event has such a beautiful energy as it's adorned with majestic pieces of natural beauty, crystals, artwork and it feels very inviting and unique. Anybody that gets to experience this class should be considered honored ! read more

That's because Michelle is the best healer! She took my herpetic neuralgia (which came from Shingles first) of two years in my sacrum and got rid of it in one hour doing her magic work. She knows anatomy better than most people, and she is highly educated to do what she does. She is NOT just a massage therapist (which there are many out there), but a true physical therapist with years of training in hospitals, famous health spas, and individually. There are not enough words in the language for me to say what I truly feel about this magic healer Michelle. I tell everyone: If you want to get healed from pain and emotional conflicts, let Michelle touch you with her hands, her heart, her soul and her love - because she has more than enough to go around! I love her! She is real... read more

I Love Michelle Alva's therapeutic classes. She is so full of positive energy. So knowledgeable in her art of healing. She has taught me how I can make my body heal by practicing certain breathing exercises she specifically teaches for every part of the body and how positive practices of loving ourselves and our body, and being thankful and grateful for any unpleasant situation we may be facing can be converted into a positive and loving experience to make our immune system so healthy that it can heal any part of our body in pain. It is an amazing experience we must all learn. Every single class is an incredible experience of wonderful mind and body healing. Thank You Lord for placing her in my life. Thank you Michelle Alva for sharing with us your beautiful art of healing. read more

Michelle is a magical healer. Her Alva method of healing is very powerful and works very quickly. My life has improved dramatically since I've done work with her. It goes very deep. But it's also so beautiful and light and full of love. It was the greatest gift I could give to myself to work with her. I've been listening to our healing session a lot this past week and I feel like it continues to help me. I feel my vibration go higher and amazing energy flow through my body when I listen and breathe everything just feels like it's falling into place. Thank you again so much Michelle. If you want to jump start your life and feel so much better and really release blockages please see Michelle she is one of the best healers in Miami! read more

Michelle is an angel from heaven.. Just listening to her voice is soothing to my ears.. She's truly blessed with the magic of healing.. I went in there so tense and feeling so deprived from everything going on in my life, but by the time the session was done and I was walking out her door I felt like a brand new woman.. I feel so light, reborn, relief, peaceful and much more confident about myself.. From her beautiful words of encouragement, the aromatherapy, sound healing and her magical hands are all part of her ritual of healing.. And on top of it all, she is one the sweetest person you'll meet.. Her energy is full of love and light.. I loved it every minute of it.. can't wait to do it again!!! read more
