Each client has unique stresses on their body that may require more than one style to release. Michelle’s hobbies vary from playing cello, to computer games, to Medieval Combat re-enactment in the SCA. These hobbies allow her a unique perspective on both the gamer’s sore shoulders and the low back, knee strain, and tight IT bands of a weekend warrior. Tailoring together the basic styles to give a client the best release of Deep Tissue work while still allowing the client to have a peaceful positive experience is what she likes best.
