I was referred to Michael as the best Shiatsu practioner in the MD, DC, VA area and I cannot say more about Michael Wolfarth, owner and masseuse of Mindful Shiatsu. I had no prior knowledge of Shiatsu. Michael works from his home, so be aware there are no frills. However, he is the most caring, compassionate, generous, and talented person I’ve met in the business of whole body wellness. He takes the time to talk with you and more importantly listen. I go to him to have a caring soul hear my emotional greivances as much as I do to have the body work done and I benefit equally from both. Every visit that I have with him results in profound changes in my physical self, including muscle release and relaxation and reducing pain. Additionally, I release emotional baggage that I’m ready to release and invetibly I leave knowing what I need to do to move forward in my life. Additionally, he is extremely affordable! The tremendous benefit received from his services far outweighs the price. If you’re seeking a push in the right direction in your life while seeking to find a sense of peace and relieve yourself of bodily and emotional stress… Michael Wolfarth is your man.
