Michelle N. Johnson, LMT CIMI
President, Lead Therapist

Blessed with a compassionate heart, and a strong desire for helping others, Michelle has always maintained a great interest in alternative therapies and the healing arts. Her passion for deeper involvement in the wellness industry was fully realized in 2003 with the completion of her 600-hour degree in therapeutic massage & bodywork from The New School for Massage, Bodywork & Healing, in Chicago, IL. While completing her core studies, she also acquired additional certifications in both prenatal massage and aromatherapy for integrating the use of essential oils into therapeutic massage and bodywork.

Michelle’s approach toward her therapeutic methods includes blending the practical knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology with a sincere therapeutic touch to facilitate a harmonious balance of the body, mind, and spirit. Additionally, she takes a customized approach to the design of each session, aimed at helping her clients achieve the most optimal results concerning their individual wellness goals. This approach is facilitated through the founding principles of her practice: Educating, Enlightening, and Empowering.

Michelle is licensed by the state of Illinois, and certified by The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB). She is also a Certified Infant Massage Instructor, and an active member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).
