Michael is a proud father to a wonderful daughter who teaches him patience and grace every day. He cherishes every moment with her—playing, learning, taking road trips, going out to eat, visiting the arcade, watching movies, and attending her gymnastics practice as he watches her grow into an incredible gymnast.
His journey into massage therapy began through an uncle undergoing chemotherapy. Michael was deeply inspired by his therapist, Tomi, who taught him the power of the mind-body connection. Massage has been incredibly helpful in managing the effects of his military service. His true calling was confirmed when he was asked to massage his grandmother’s back in hospice, which sparked his passion for this work.
Michael attended the Louisville School of Massage, where he gained the knowledge and expertise to help others through the power of touch. He later volunteered at an adult daycare, sharing the benefits of massage with people facing mental and physical challenges. As a veteran, he is dedicated to helping fellow veterans and active-duty military members manage stress and improve their well-being through massage.
