BUILT FOR
PERFORMANCE.

As a physical therapist, I’ve collaborated with Michael on numerous clients. He doesn’t just want to understand what I was doing with out patient-clients, but wanted to know and understand exactly what would be needed to provide them with the best training principles, techniques, and tools for success beyond he gym. Very quickly I knew that Michael would be someone that I would have no reservations referring patients to, not only because he would listen to my ideas but because he would go above and beyond to apply them in training. He has a unique ability to form the kind of rapport with his clients that will add to their success in the gym. One thing that has been really cool is the variety of clientele I’ve seen him have, from high level athletes, to postpartum moms, and from crossfit athletes, to struggling post-surgical patients.

I’ve been working with Michael for nearly four months and have felt incredibly supported throughout. What sets him apart is his holistic approach—he looks at the full picture, regularly checking in on sleep, nutrition, stress, and life outside the gym. He creates a safe, judgment-free space where I feel seen as a whole person, not just a body to train. As a Manual Osteopathic Therapist, I deeply value practitioners who understand the nervous system, and Michael’s knowledge in this area truly elevates his ability to guide others on a deeper level. He’s helped me move and breathe better and his insight has allowed me to connect more fully with my body and make lasting lifestyle shifts.

I’ve had chronic neck/back pain for the past 2-3 years and had never been able to figure out the cause or how to relieve my pain until I started working with Michael. He takes time to truly listen to you and goes above and beyond in the way he tailors each session. 10/10 would recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Michael’s work. Over the last 5 years I’ve turned to Michael for somatics, nervous system regulation, body work, injury rehab and strength building. He is a one stop shop and his holistic approach to how each one impacts the others is second to none. He is incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics and movement and has supported my wellness journey in ways no other practitioner has been able to. 5 stars across the board, I would put 10 if it was an option.

Michael’s bodywork initially surprised me. The charisma, humor, and life experience Michael possesses is not something I’m used to experiencing in combination with such subtle skill refinement. I felt an immediate safety with Michael’s touch as it was quickly evident that he could feel subtleties in my nervous system that have been rarely recognized by other practitioners. He brings a level of care & cleanliness to his practice that has me feel privileged to be on the receiving end of. I have also felt struck by the generosity & purity of heart/service that Michael brings to his bodywork… I receive so much more than just hands-on touch in our sessions; there is a nourishment that comes from feeling seen, felt, & cared for that feels unique to Michael’s flavor of work.

I’ve only had one session with Michael so far but the amount of value I’ve gained from it is incredible. Michael was able to cue me into a state of body awareness that I’ve not experienced before. In addition, he was able to diagnose and address inefficient movement patterns and tightness that I had which had contributed to back pain that I have intermittently been afflicted by. After the session, I felt space and looseness that I hadn’t realized was possible in my back. In addition to guiding me through exercises, Michael did an excellent job explaining the methodology and reasoning behind his selections and our workout. This will give me the vocabulary and discernment to evaluate and communicate with any other health/fitness professional I encounter in the future.
