Taproot Bodywork

We took a couples massage class from Michelle yesterday at her place near Bend. We couldn’t have been happier! Michelle is a great and compassionate teacher and we just really enjoyed her personally.
We live in Portland and I had googled for a couples massage class and found one she was planning to give there on a date we couldn’t make. Turns out she lives in Bend and teaches and does massages there primarily (though also Portland). She does a «greatest hits» class for couples — 4 hours! — that she willingly customized for us as fellow runners to focus on our poor sore legs from a marathon, and do it while we planned to be in town. She didn’t even mention, I learned later on her Facebook page, that she had dedicated part of the proceeds of our class to relief efforts from the Boston Marathon bombing.
We highly recommend reaching out to Michelle at Taproot Bodywork for her classes or a massage!

Michelle is a very skilled professional taking care and time to personalize our session. We completely enjoyed our couples massage experience and highly recommend Michelle to others. Michelle shared the physiology of massage to enrich technique. It was a relaxing and fun way to spend several hours slowing down together on Sunday! And it doesn’t stop there. Part of Michelle’s value prop is to be available as a resource for follow up questions. Great gift for a special couples day, and a great way to see the value of adding regular massage to enhance a healthy lifestyle.
