Michelle is an extraordinary practitioner who brings deep knowledge of the body and movement, as well as expertise in massage techniques from various traditions. She has an uncanny ability to get right to the root of the problem and provide immediate relief

Been seeing Michelle for years, such a warm person and a practitioner who knows her stuff! Her modality is uncommon and works sooo well for my aches and pains, I always leave relaxed and unwound. Very communicative and asks if I need more/less pressure.

I had THE BEST massage with Michelle! Her treatment method is very different but so effective. I felt so loose and relaxed afterwards. My only “complaint” which isn’t a complaint is that an hour goes by too quickly!

Working with Michelle Ratz McGuire is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Unlike any other massage therapist I’ve worked with, Michelle has an incredible ability to tune in and genuinely listen to what your body is communicating. Her mat-based approach—where you’re comfortably reclined on the floor, supported by plenty of pillows, and fully clothed—creates a deeply grounding and safe environment. What sets her apart even more is her trauma-informed presence. She intuitively adapts to exactly what you need in the moment, holding space with sensitivity and care. I’m so grateful to have found her!

Michelle is truly a gem! She’s so much more than a massage therapist; she’s a real healer! The mat-based therapy she offers is unique to the area and makes all the difference. It isn’t just a massage; it’s a transformative experience. She genuinely listens to your needs and works diligently to alleviate pain, helping you feel your best. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, check her out. Highly recommended!

Michelle is magic. Full stop. I had been nervous to start going to an RMT because I hated the idea of being touched, but the mat-based therapy is fantastic and Michelle really knows her stuff! She immediately puts you at ease, listens to what you have to say, and clearly communicates so you know what to expect. Also, I genuinely did not know that it was possible for my hips to NOT hate me, but WOW. I could cry from relief at how much better I feel after each session. Truly. There are not enough great things to say about Michelle. Absolutely go see her for yourself! -Elizabeth G.

Michelle is amazing!! My session was an hour and the pressure techniques she uses loosened me up so much. My hips feel more flexible, my neck and shoulders are now in alignment again. I would definitely recommend Michelle for any muscle or joint pain!

After several years of chronic health issues, and trying many types of therapies, Michelle was the first therapist to suggest that my pelvic misalignment could be causing many of my systemic health issues. Her unique method of massage allows her to get deep into muscles I didn’t even know existed! I felt so relaxed and cared for during our 90min. Could easily have enjoyed a double length appointment! I will definitely be booking with Michelle again.🙌

I was anxious going into my first massage with Michelle because of some injuries I have, which often worsen with conventional massage techniques. Michelle listened to my concerns patiently and performed a comprehensive assessment that pinpointed the key areas she wanted to focus on. I was impressed with her thoroughness, expertise, and ability to identify problem areas that had been overlooked by traditional massage therapy treatments. In the past, I had regular massages for back, neck and shoulder tension and pain, but the issues never seemed to resolve. After just one session with Michelle, I experienced a significant release in tension and a greater range of motion. I noticed I was walking differently. Everything felt more open and relaxed. A few sessions later, I can confidently say my range of motion has improved and I have gained more flexibility and strength in my body. This progress isn't just from the treatments themselves, but also thanks to Michelle's suggestions for mobility and strength exercises, which have had a huge impact on my overall sense of well-being. I now have a renewed trust in my body's capabilities, and this means everything! Michelle's sessions are nothing like typical massage treatments. They may not be as soothing, but the results are much greater. My body has undergone a remarkable transformation after just a few sessions, thanks to Michelle's expert treatments and caring suggestions. I can't wait to see what comes next! If you are looking for something to help you shift from where you are now, to where you want to be, in terms of your body's pain, mobility, and capacity for movement, it's totally worth booking a session with Michelle!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Michelle. The hypnotherapy sessions were incredibly effective in helping me achieve a sense of peace and control over my circumstances, and the audio recordings provided me with a useful tool for meditation and finding my way back to that place of peace whenever I needed it. Michelle has a calming and reassuring presence that immediately puts you at ease, and she tailors her approach to your individual needs and preferences. She has a genuine passion for helping people overcome their challenges and achieve their goals, and her expertise in hypnotherapy is incredible!
