“Wonderful Massage. I have been looking for a place to get a massage for over 2 months. I had one over a year ago and i just could not find another place that matched the great massage I had. Michelle gave me a 60-min massage and it was the best massage I have had yet! I am planning on returning whenever I can, and I hope to send my friends there. it is a great little place to go.” ~Baly
 

“A massage from Michelle is like a great concert… many variations on the wonderful theme of healing touch. She has amazing strength, which she skillfully applies with just the right intensity. She is totally present and tuned in for every delightful minute. I’ve enjoyed massages from many good LMTs and Michelle is the best!” ~Tim B.
 

“I am a 50-year-old physician who has had problems with a stiff and sore neck for a decade, related to my work, which requires long hours of standing with my head held in certain positions. Two of my partners have had surgery on their neck because of similar problems. In effort to avoid such surgery, I tried physical therapy and chiropractic manipulation without relief. A year ago, my wife gave me a gift certificate for a total body massage with Michelle Read. Although I only expected a relaxing experience, my neck felt so much better after our first session that I came back the next week this time to focus on primarily on my neck. I saw Michelle weekly for a month or two and my neck continued to improve until it felt the best it had in years. After that initial success, I saw Michelle monthly as a preventative strategy and I remain pain free. Not only is my pain gone, but getting a massage from Michelle is a wonderfully relaxing and stress reducing experience.”~Daniel L Phillips, M.D.
 

“Massage is something that is experienced in so many different ways. I am an acupuncturist by trade, and have had a lot of bodywork that has varied in quality: good, bad, and great. Michelle is an absolute talent in her trade. She is present, focused, and just has that innate knack for finding all of the places that need work. She not only knows these places, she knows how they need and want to be released. She is a Muscle Whisperer!”~Maria Benavides, L.Ac.

“Michelle Read has been my massage therapist for over two years. Michelle has always been perceptive about and solicitous regarding my massage therapy needs and is knowledgeable about massage therapy practices, theory and some of the discipline’s more intriguing emerging trends. Michelle’s customer focus and service orientation make her an easy person with which to fit in a couple of 90 minute massages per month. I recommend Ms. Read without reservation.~J. Casimiro Ortal
 

Yelp Reviews:
“Michelle does amazing body work. The studio is beautifully decorated and you feel relaxed just walking into the space. Michelle expertly works over muscles to find areas of tension and tightness. She is able to find muscles I didn’t even know existed, and really penetrates deeply to help loosen specific areas while providing an overall therapeutic experience whatever your needs are. You won’t be disappointed.” ~Holly B.
 

“I have been going to Michelle for massage for quite a few years and can recommend her highly. She is outstanding compared to any other massage I’ve ever had, whether in a spa or clinical setting. Her studio (on Fremont) is extremely comfortable and she has an amazing ability to target exactly what your body & muscles need.” ~Darcy L.
 

“About the best massage I’ve ever had! I repeatedly visit Michelle when I need to have a certain area worked on and it does wonders for my back pain/leg pain/what ever the situation may be. An incredible value!” ~Matthew Sancomb
 

“Michelle provides fantastic service and therapeutic relief. Upon my initial visit she detailed my medical history and concentrated on orthopedic as well as skeletal and muscular irritations I had. She reviews my status with each visit and creates a treatment plan geared to both my historical and current needs. Michelle is flexible to my schedule and has provided service that fits accordingly. Her studio is calming and professional – Ideal!~Eric L.
 

Michelle Read is amazing. I think I just had the best massage of my life. I have had lots and lots of bodywork over the past 10 years. I have been in a few car accidents and I live in a lot of pain. I feel like Michelle really listened to what I told her was hurting and she addressed my areas of pain thoroughly and effectively. I can tell she knows the body very well and has been doing this for a very long time (10 years I think). I was amazed at what she accomplished in one hour. She was deep but gentle. She didn’t talk a lot, which was nice. Her studio is beautiful, spacious and very relaxing. I don’t need to search any farther, I will be returning regularly.” ~Monica G.
