Welcome to Massage by Mike

My path into massage started inside a busy corporate massage company — long days, a lot of different bodies, and a fast education in what real, lasting relief actually takes. The more I worked, the more I wanted to go deeper than a standard rub-down, so I went looking for the best continuing education I could find. That search took me all the way to Playa Samara, Costa Rica, where I trained and earned my certification in Modern Cupping Therapy.

Today I’m a certified Modern Cupping Therapist, which lets me bring tools to the table that most therapists don’t offer. Cupping works by decompression — gently lifting and separating the fascia instead of pressing down on it — so I can use it for stubborn abdominal tension and to ease the discomfort of constipation and bloating, alongside targeted trigger-point work that releases knots ordinary pressure can’t reach. I’m currently working toward Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal Alignment certification through the Freedom From Pain Institute — one of the most respected credentials in the field — so I can read the body’s posture and pain patterns and treat the root cause, not just the symptom.

I’m wired to keep improving everything I touch — every technique, every session, every detail of your visit — and I’m always thinking up new ways to help you take better care of your own body between appointments. The work doesn’t stop when you leave my table. It all points at one goal: getting you pain free, and keeping you there.
