Michael became involved in the use of massage therapy to recover from injuries during his career in law enforcement. After his retirement there was still an interest in massage therapy, so he decided to start a second career as a licensed massage therapist. He went back to school in 2016 to become a Massage Therapist graduating in 2017. Michael’s dream is to promote the understanding of how important massage therapy is as part of a healthy lifestyle. He listens to the person’s needs then designs the massage to meet those needs. He combines several types or styles of massage or body work to help his client’s body to return to a state of well-being. He may also provide educational information about the therapy. Michael has personally been blessed by using massage to improve his own health and well-being since 2011.
