Meet Michelle

Michelle graduated from The Hands On School of Massage in October 2024, where she was recognized for her strong understanding of anatomy and physiology as well as her natural, intuitive approach to bodywork. She was hired immediately after graduation and has since gained experience in both clinical massage therapy and spa environments.

Working in both settings has helped Michelle develop a style that balances focused therapeutic work with a calming, restorative experience. Her goal is to help clients feel better physically while also creating space for relaxation, recovery, and greater connection with their bodies.

She is passionate about continuing her education and expanding her therapeutic toolbox so she can better understand the individual needs of every client she works with.

Michelle believes massage is not only a way to address tension, discomfort, and physical stress, but also an opportunity to thank your body for everything it carries you through each day.

Her approach centers around helping clients restore balance, recover more effectively, and leave each session feeling better prepared for whatever comes next.

Michelle is now providing therapeutic massage and bodywork at High Desert Wellness in Grand Junction, Colorado, working with clients seeking everything from deep tissue and sports massage to relaxation, recovery, and individualized pain focused care.

What are the benefits of regularly scheduled sessions?
Regularly scheduled massages offer a multitude of benefits for both physical and mental well-being. Firstly, they can help alleviate muscle tension and soreness, promoting relaxation and reducing the risk of injury. Additionally, massages can improve circulation, which aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the body’s tissues while also assisting in the removal of metabolic waste products. From a mental health perspective, massages are known to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood elevators. Over time, regular massages can contribute to improved sleep quality, enhanced immune function, and an overall sense of balance and wellness. Many see an improvement in muscle health, posture and best of all pain management.
While cupping can leave temporary marks on the skin, they typically fade within a few days. The marks are caused by the suction of the cups, which bring blood flow to the surface, aiding in the body’s natural healing process. As for discomfort, cupping is generally not painful; instead, most people find it to be a deeply relaxing experience. However, it’s essential to communicate with your therapist about your comfort level, as they can adjust the pressure or technique as needed to ensure a positive experience for you.
To make your sessions more affordable, we highly recommend purchasing one of our massage packages. These packages offer the biggest discount per session compared to individual bookings, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of regular massages at a reduced cost. Additionally, for our eco-conscious clients, we offer a unique incentive: bring a plant propagation to your appointment, and receive a $20 discount on your session. It’s our way of encouraging sustainability while also providing you with extra savings. Don’t hesitate to inquire about our packages and promotions to maximize the value of your massage experience.
During your session, the level of undress is entirely up to your comfort level. Our priority is your comfort and relaxation, so undress to your level of comfort. Most clients choose to undress completely, while some prefer to leave undergarments on. Rest assured, our therapists are trained in proper draping techniques to ensure your privacy and comfort throughout the session. Your modesty and comfort are always respected, so feel free to communicate your preferences to your therapist before the session begins.
