Michelle received her first bodywork sessions from a young age and ever since has held a deep respect for the holistic healing that therapeutic massage and energy work can facilitate. She received her 700-hour massage therapy training nestled among the unique beauty of the red rocks at the Sedona School of Massage and is a Licensed Massage Therapist by the California State Board of Massage Therapy. Most recently, Michelle has enrolled in intensive CranioSacral Therapy training with the Upledger Institute and is enjoying it immensely. She specializes in Deep Tissue, Myofascial Techniques, Neuromuscular Trigger Point and Swedish massage with influences from Shiatsu, Craniosacral and Polarity therapies. Drawing from these modalities, her sessions are tailored to meet the needs of each client.

Michelle is also a certified yoga instructor, practicing yoga consistently since 2005 while living in bustling Saigon, Vietnam. She received her teaching certification in 2008 at It’s Yoga in San Francisco with Larry Schultz, a charismatic, inspiring and thoughtful practitioner of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. Between 2008-15, Michelle taught yoga in Asia, which included regular group, private and corporate classes, organizing retreats and special events, hosting international instructors and working with resorts throughout the region. She is happy to continue the tradition, now based in Huntington Beach, California. Michelle’s classes are geared for all levels. Encouraging a beginner’s mind, focus on breath, safe alignment and modifications, while keeping a playful and curious spirit.

Jenny discovered yoga at age 18 and instantly fell in love. It was the missing piece to her years of meditation and contemplation through the Friend’s Society. Years later in 2009 she acquired her yoga teacher’s training through Lex Gillan of The Houston Yoga Institute who has been sharing the dharma for 43 years as one of the country’s oldest and most respected studios. Jenny found teaching hatha, raja and meditation to be a natural extension of her bodywork practice where she infused massage, energy work and aromatherapy to facilitate the healing process. Satisfying her need to expand her herbal and healing knowledge she completed her masters in oriental medicine and acupuncture. She currently resides and practices acupuncture in Huntington Beach, California where she specializes in women’s health and anti aging.
