I have enjoyed massages for many years - in hotels and spas. But it never occurred to me I could have a private massage in my own home.
Michael is the consummate professional. He came with everything needed...right down to the music!
He quickly set up his table and before I knew it, I was escaping into a wonderful massage. (If I were going to a spa, I would have been stuck in traffic at that time as it was rush hour)
He asked me if I had any areas he should focus on, and when I asked him to help relieve my backache - he personalized the massage to do just that. But I didn't feel he rushed any aspect to do that - I not only felt so much more relaxed but even energized afterwards. (And again, I didn't get stuck in traffic afterwards)
I don't often give 5 stars, but honestly, there wasn't one negative or concern I had -- he's professional, personable, very capable, and I look forward to more massages in the future. I also have been recommending it to friends and even my boss! What a great gift idea, too!

I am in the medical profession and have been receiving physical therapy for months to treat bursitis in my shoulder. As I was not seeing any improvement I decided to seek out a highly trained masseuse who not only gives traditional massages but also therapeutic massages. After just one session with Michael I had less pain and an increased range of motion. Michael knew exactly how to treat my bursitis and his knowledge of anatomy was extraordinary. I plan on seeing him on a regular basis to treat this condition.
It was also a pleasure having Michael provide this service in the comfort of my home. He arrived with everything needed to complete the massage and I didn't have to drive to meet him; he drove to me! Michael is a great find and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a traditional or therapeutic massage.

I have serious back issues and a bad shoulder. I am frequently uncomfortable with various tight muscles from golf.
I made an appointment to see Michael and found him to be very skilled. He masterfully at resolving my pain. I see him regularly now.
Afterward each session the pain significantly subsides and I had greater range of motion. The massage overall is relaxing and extremely therapeutic. Michael always ensures that I am comfortable throughout and provides useful stretches to do until the next visit.
He is great and such a professional. All of my appointments have started punctually. He is flexible about scheduling

This is my third time receiving a 90 minute deep tissue massage from Michael and he is consistently fabulous. I have aches and pains in my upper back, IT band, glutes, calves, and feet and he manages to work them all out equally well. He applies deep pressure in a way that's not painful at all, and responds really well to your body as he massages. He also found other secret knots that were contributing to my soreness and worked those out too! On top of all that, he's extremely professional and a super nice guy. A fantastic massage and in the convenience is my own home - exactly what I was looking for!

This is the first time I've enjoyed the luxury of a massage at home. It's so much more convenient and relaxing, without any need to get in your car and back on the highway afterward.
Michael is a consummate professional and a gifted therapist who immediately put me at ease. I was dealing with a sports injury, and he treated that area thoroughly, using a variety of massage techniques. He is attentive and sensitive to any areas that are tight or injured. And he doesn't rush to finish up, like a therapist in the typical local spa sometimes does.
I highly recommend Michael's massage services for yourself -- or as a unique gift for someone special.

I have been a member of Hand and Stone for a year and always took a Massage as my monthly treatment. I loved A but he left, but then quickly became a fan of Michael. He is a teacher and outstanding. I am a woman and prefer a male therapist and he is very professional.

I came in with a sore neck. Michael listened to my ailment and did a great job working specifically on it so I could get better faster.

Amazing!!! Have already recommended Michael to everyone I've been speaking to!!
I've been to two different massage therapists here - Regina who gives a truly enjoyable massage and for the first time tonight Michael- he was awesome. Been having some knots in my back and sometimes therapists don't really get the spot - he was right on and was the perfect amount pleasant massage and what I call 'theraputic' - like really getting out the knots.

I have asked in the past for a “light” massage. Michael was the first person to actually give me a true “light” massage and he helped me clear my sinuses. I can breathe now. Yippee!
Excellent massage. Very relaxing. Great foot massage.
Excellent! Appreciated the stretches—moved me past my known limitations. This is very good!
