If you’re like me and found this listing on Google and wondering if only 5 stars is too good to be true, it’s not.

Michael owns his own massage practice, that he sets up inside a duplex at this address. The environment is very calming, and you can tell he’s put a lot of time and energy into all the thoughtful touches. He goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and comfortable (something I was a little anxious about as a female who arrived at 630 pm in the pitch black, snowing winter) before you even step in the door. From there, he has a comprehensive form where you share more about your goals with massage, focus areas, etc.

The massage itself is pure bliss. Michaels also a certified (or nearly certified) reiki practitioner and after my massage with him I will actively fight anyone who claims that reiki isn’t “real”. I could feel energy radiating from his hands and it was quite surreal. The pressure was perfect, he worked out so many knots and tightness in my back and hip flexors. I sit for long hours at work and practice yoga daily and feel like a new person! Michael is a secret gem in west Seattle, I’ll definitely be purchasing a package from him and come back soon!

Michael is an amazing masseuse. I always feel like a new lighter person after each session. Have been going to him since I moved to Seattle and I can’t say enough goods things.
