Intuitive Bodywork by Michael

Overview

I have been working in the world of the healing arts since 2004. In 2003, I began the accelerated Massage Therapy Diploma program at the Chicago School of Massage Therapy (CSMT). Upon my graduation, I became licensed as a Massage Therapist in the state of Illinois. I have maintained my license and it is still in good standing. I have been thoroughly trained in Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Sports Massage techniques.

My experience is vast as I have worked in...More both clinical environments (chiropractic offices) as well as spas where the environment was more relaxing and/ or holistic in nature. I have also worked in the fitness industry as a Certified Personal Trainer (ACE).

My work as a personal trainer has given me great insight to the human body and how it functions, and has only aided me in my work as a massage therapist. My experience in both worlds has allowed me to grow as a healer. In 2006, I began my studies in Reiki at the Mystical Sciences Institute in Evanston, IL, under the guidance of Billie Topa Tate, the owner of the school and a high-level Reiki Master herself. I completed Reiki levels 1, 2, and 3 and became a Certified Reiki Practitioner. By 2022, I had completed my Reiki Master/ Teacher 2nd Degree. Degree.
