Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial Release is a gentle, methodical and therapeutic approach that addresses restrictions in muscles (myo) and the web of connective tissue known as fascia, which winds through and wraps every part of the body. Long, sustained holds at the barrier of tension ensure pressure is never too much, nor too little. Unwinding the lines of tension created by restrictions in the fascial system has global effects on the body. The benefits of this specific massage module include:the potential to eliminate chronic pain and headaches, treat and prevent sports injuries, facilitate better posture and patterns of movement, and improve mobility, breathing, circulation, digestion, and innervation.
Lymphatic Massage
Lymph drainage massage has become a popular form of massage due to its potential health benefits. This specialized approach focuses on the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. This type of massage aims to help the body maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance, and immune functions.

EOS Lymphatic Massage™ Aromatherapy provides in-depth assessment of clients’ needs & goals to develop programs involving associative learning and/or higher-order conditioning. An example of goals I’ve worked on with my clients is reaching a state of calm more quickly and mindfulness training for being more present with yourself and others. Other effective examples of my aromatherapeutic training would be programming involving the awareness of smells you inhale throughout your day, being present with the smells of food and drinks you consume, noticing the smells of nature when you’re outside and even the practice of recognizing other humans by their specific scent. Michelle offers personalized consultations for individuals, couples and businesses.
