I am very fortunate to have worked with so many people!  Here are some of their kind words of appreciation of my therapeutic, medicinal massage-bodywork services:

My experience with the session I received from Michele was very relaxing.  I was able to de-stress from the day, go within, and unwind the muscles of my body.  I received the traditional Thai massage. I highly recommend this type of session as it allows you to experience all the benefits of Michele's massages!  -Darlene Pena, Insurance Case Manager

I have been coming to Michele Ruppert for approximately 9 months.  I completed 6 of the 10 series of Structural Integration/Rolfing, which is an amazing process where Michele literally shapes and resets your muscles to where they should be on your body.  My feet had pretty high arches and after Michele worked on them they are now flat to the ground!  This summer I was remodeling my kitchen and was really sore all over and requested that she just give me an overall massage which she did and it was the most soothing relaxing (traditional Thai) massage I had ever gotten.  Then after returning from a trip I'm usually always sore from lugging my suitcase and dealing with other travel woes and came to Michele with really sore back and neck muscles.  Michele did some Rossiter System techniques on me which felt painful, but in a good way, which helped release my knots on my body.  Lastly, after injuring myself from doing yoga I came to Michele and she again practiced other Rossiter System techniques on my body and once again was so grateful that I have such a knowledgeable and caring practitioner helping me release pain.  If I had not found Michele I know that I would not be in as good of shape as I am now and would of not had the stamina to be able to travel, do yoga, and other exercises and be efficient in my field.  In my opinion I feel like I'm seeing a Dr. when I go to Michele cause she always tells me what the muscle is that she is working on and how it is attached to the body and how we use it in our lives and when it's not working right your body tells you through pain.

I have used massage-bodywork therapy as a health maintenence program for more than thirty years.  Thai massage technique has been the most effective for me.  Of course, the quality of massage depends directly on the practitioner.  I suggest if you just want a body rub that you go elsewhere.  If you are looking for an experienced professional who will align and balance your chakras and tone your energies then request a session from Michele.  You will notice immediately how well Michele identifies energy blockages and releases them, aligns the skeletal by neutralizing tension in muscles and joints, all of which leaves you in a posture of renewed balance and a relaxed body/mind.  -Michael Smith, Student of Kinesiology

I met Michele when she was volunteering her services at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center for homeless veterans of the armed services.  Michele was giving deep and relaxing massages to patients in their first 30 days of detoxification, and I was one of those patients.  Michele’s work helped remove poisons from my body, and she also gave me excellent suggestions on how to live a healthier lifestyle through diet and routine massages.  Her skills along with her obvious compassion for the people she worked with are a combination that, in my opinion, is second to none.  Michele’s sessions with me have become an important part of my recovery from the disease of addiction.  Every single veteran that Michele worked with benefitted greatly, and as for myself I have been able to remain drug and tobacco free since embracing this new lifestyle.  I would never say these sessions with Michele alone were the only reason for my current success; however, they certainly have helped more than I can say.  I would recommend Michele to anyone to improve their lifestyle through massage therapy and natural detoxification.  Michele is a warm and caring person who is well-suited for her work.  -Thomas S., US Air Force Veteran and Advertising & Account Executive

I have had all kinds of massage and bodywork before and it always made me feel better.  What has been different after a series of Thai Massage sessions with you is that there is no trace of pain and stiffness left in my body.  Thank you, Michele, for your great work!  -Rainer Ackermann, Holistic Health Practitioner

What stands out the most about the massages I receive from Michele is that I feel so peaceful afterwards.  She made every effort to make sure I was comfortable and well-supported.  I look forward to more massages by Michele in the future!  -Nancy Nelson, RN and Health & Lifestyle Coach

At 66 years of age, I believe massage is a healthy necessity.  Working with Michele, I have found her to be extremely passionate about her work.  She truly cares about helping people and will try numerous techniques, if necessary.  Michele as helped me relieve many aches and pains and improve my posture.  I always feel very relaxed and sleep great after a session.  I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a dedicated, caring massage therapist.  -Sandra Buzan, Retired Psychotherapist, M.A.
