Earlier this year, I was looking for a new massage place after our in-home therapist moved away and I was getting disappointed with what I was finding. I landed on Michelle's through a Yelp coupon and I was impressed right from the start: friendly staff that treats you professionally, hot towel full body wipe down to start, then the massage with hot towel wipe in between back and front and another wipe down at the end (reduces the amount of oil left on you at the end.) The massage is pinpointed to the areas of need. The therapists are very good at finding my trouble areas and using deep pressure to work on those spots. Deep pressure along with unique draping methods allows the therapist access to most areas from head to toe on the left or right side with long continuous strokes. Something you will not get at one of those chain places that begins with an 'E' (Escape, Envy, Elements). At other massage places I often feel mummified and distracted due to excessive attention given to adjusting the draping during the session. Not at Michelle's.
Michelle's facilities are simple but inviting and with easy access to Shea and the 51. All of the staff I have met are very professional and knowledgeable. I generally get a 90 minute Deep Tissue massage with either Rhoda or Jocelyn, both are very talented. 90 minutes is just long enough to really settle in and get relaxed.
I have been getting for at least 20 years now and Rhoda and Jocelyn are among the best masseuses I have ever had. I highly recommend Michelle's.
