Healing Through Body, Mind & Spirit

A Different Way to Experience Wellness

Healing is not always about doing more.

Sometimes it begins by slowing down, listening within, and creating space for the body, mind, and spirit to reconnect and heal.

At Be . Motivated Wellness, I offer a gentle, whole-person approach to well-being through Integrative Massage & Healing Therapy, somatic awareness and movement, yoga, Reiki, meditation, and spiritual connection.

The work is gentle, personalized, and grounded in meeting you exactly where you are today.

Together, we explore ways to reduce pain and discomfort, restore greater ease in movement, and reconnect with a deeper sense of awareness and well-being from within.

Healing That Begins With Listening

Living with chronic illness, environmental sensitivities, persistent pain or discomfort, fatigue, or changing physical capacity can profoundly affect your relationship with your body.

Symptoms and energy can fluctuate. What feels supportive one day may not feel right the next.

At Be . Motivated Wellness, your body helps guide the session.

Your body is continually communicating. Rather than forcing, fixing, or pushing through, we begin by paying attention to what you notice — sensation, breath, movement, areas of pain or discomfort, muscular tension and holding, and where your body experiences greater ease.

Whether we are working on the massage table or exploring somatic movement in a chair or on the floor, the goal is not to push your body beyond its limits.

Gentle hands-on work and somatic movement can help address patterns of muscular tension and holding that may contribute to pain, stiffness, restricted movement, and ongoing discomfort.

By working slowly and responding to what your body is communicating that day, our intention is to reduce discomfort, support easier movement, and help you experience greater comfort and ease in your body.

The Hands & Heart Behind The Healing

Licensed Massage Therapist | EMMETT Technique Practitioner |
Somatic Movement & Yoga Guide| Reiki Master | Spiritual Direction Practitioner

My work is shaped by professional training and my own experiences with healing, loss, recovery, chronic pain, autoimmune illness, and CIRS. My journey has taught me how deeply it matters to feel heard, believed, and supported.

Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, I meet you where you are and begin with what your body, mind, and spirit need that day. Together, we create space to slow down, listen inward, and explore what may support greater ease, awareness, and connection.

I see you. I hear you. And I believe you.

What Clients Are Saying:

  • “I came to Michelle feeling stuck and overwhelmed on an ongoing basis, both physically and emotionally, due to the chronic pain I’ve had from a car accident. I have sought various methods but have not found anything as helpful as sessions with Michelle. I trust her completely. She knows what she is doing. She is passionate about helping me and she truly listens. After just a few sessions, I began to experience deep relaxation and a lightness in my body that provides me with peace, ease, and calm continually - feelings and sensations I didn’t think I would ever have again.”

    Debbie R.

  • "Michelle is an incredible and devoted therapist. I deeply admire her strength despite everything she has been through, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!"

    Ysabel D.

  • “The variation in techniques in areas of concern allowed my body to release and the overall results were so different from any other massage experience I have ever had. I was genuinely surprised at how different I felt and when I stood up and walked around to ‘set it in’ I couldn’t believe how much better my leg and hip felt. I felt safe and so relaxed during the treatment I actually fell asleep.”

    Steve C.

  • "Michelle creates such a welcoming and peaceful environment. Her yoga classes are a wonderful balance of movement, mindfulness, and connection. I always leave feeling more grounded, refreshed, and connected to myself. She makes the practice feel accessible for everyone, regardless of experience level."
