Gretchen
Gretchen has been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2016. She graduated Massage School with a certification in Neuromuscular Therapy. She became certified in Thai Massage and Medical Massage a few years after school. Her curiosity for learning how to release pain patterns in the body led her to complete a two-year training in trigger point therapy through Coaching the Body Institute. She loves being able to bring clients out of pain and to educate them in how to use their bodies more efficiently to avoid living in pain and lead healthier lives through improved mobility.
She is a wife and mother to four children. She is an amateur cellist. She enjoys hiking and camping with her family and martial arts. She spent a decade in the Philippines, where she was first introduced to massage, and first had the idea of one day becoming a massage therapist to be able to share the beautiful gift of bodywork with others.

Michael
Michael is a graduate of the Atlanta School of Massage, one of Georgia’s most respected programs. He brings both technical skill and athletic insight to every session.
His martial arts background gives him a firsthand understanding of what the body endures under physical stress — and how targeted bodywork can prevent injuries, speed recovery, and improve performance. By analyzing muscular relationships, body position, and muscular response, Michael focuses on improving the functionality of joints, decreasing asymmetric strain. Michael specializes in working with athletes and active individuals, but his clinical approach is effective for anyone dealing with muscle tension, postural strain, or chronic pain.
Clients appreciate his ability to combine precise, therapeutic pressure with corrective stretching and trigger point release, creating measurable improvements in mobility and comfort. Whether you’re preparing for competition, coming back from injury, or simply seeking long-lasting relief, Michael’s sessions are designed to help you move better and feel stronger.
