Working with Emel has been one of the biggest breakthroughs in my healing journey. As soon as I…read moreread her website I knew that Emel understood many of my struggles at a deep level and that somatic healing work with her was what I needed. Seriously - just read her website and you'll understand, she gets it and has a uniquely effective approach! I have worked with so many practitioners on physical, mental, energetic, and nervous system healing, but I needed her somatic healing approach to connect the pieces and dive deeper to truly understand and break free from the pain, trauma, and patterns I was stuck in. Emel truly cares, is extremely empathetic, and works hard to understand the full picture and the root cause of issues. She made it easy to open up to her and to myself, allowing me to better understand myself, my patterns, and my triggers/reactions. Each session varies depending on my needs or desired focus, ranging from somatic healing, energy flow, and visualization work to more traditional talk therapy. The results of working with Emel were immediate and ongoing: relief from physical pain caused by stuck energy, emotions, or tension, as well as minimization of triggers, anxiety, depression, and other patterns I was stuck in. I cannot recommend working with Emel enough, regardless of what you are going through! Thank you Emel!

Working with Michael and Bernadette was an incredibly beautiful experience and I feel I have…read morelearned and grown so much from it. He is remarkable, not only as a massage therapist, but as a life coach. When I first came into his office I felt seen for the first time in decades. He is loving, warm, and genuine. If you are looking for holistic growth, Michael is a great mentor and may help you make lasting changes in your life. I went from taking pills every day, working a job that took advantage of my caregiving nature, and an emotionally abusive relationship, to being free from all addictions (prescribed and otherwise), working a job where I am truly valued, and finding a truly fulfilling and loving relationship. I am so grateful for Michael and I highly recommend him as a massage therapist, a life coach, and a mentor.

I just had the most amazing massage from Michael. It was my first time there and I did not know…read morewhat to expect. The massage was unlike any that I have ever experienced. I feel as if Michael is the real deal. I cant think of the best way to describe him. A massage therapy wizard? For someone who is seeking a massage as therapy for pain, there should be no other person you would want to see after seeing Michael. I saw him at the end of a probably long day and week for him. Yet he worked very hard and seemed to make it his mission to try to fix me as much as possible. I truly appreciated his effort. Afterward, he spoke with me on what we can do and gave me tips on what I can do to stay healthy. I'm a healthcare provider, and when he wrapped up the session in that way, it made me realize he was a healthcare provider of sorts also. I was very impressed and pleased with my latest yelp find. Okay the above was me about 2-3 months ago. I am still seeing Michael on a regular basis, and I truly feel he has helped me stay healthy. I am not pain free, however I am much improved since I met him. On that day that I met Michael, I truly could feel that he understood how much pain I had and that he knew he could make it much better. I really appreciate what he does for me. I think he's super talented.

But after speaking with Carol, I was at ease and felt right at home on her table. Her gentle voice and calming spirit allowed me to drop into a state of relaxation immediately. I was amazed by the things she was able to intuit about my physical wellbeing and my thought patterns and tendencies. She was able to feel the painful energy of various memories as I released them. She even blessed me with a beautiful message from the Divine, which left me in tears. Carol is a gifted healer, or as she would say, an empty vessel for the Divine to move through to those she is healing! I am very blessed to have met her, and look forward to many more sessions together. Thank you, Highest Harmony!
