As a professionally trained dancer, Machelle experienced her body’s incredible ability to change, adapt, and even heal itself. After the birth of her first child, she began her journey supporting other women as a birth Doula, certified Pilates instructor, and massage therapist with a focus on women’s health. Machelle is trained in prenatal, labor induction, and postpartum massage as well as pelvic floor, breast, and abdominal massage.

Machelle’s approach to massage is one of deep listening and intuition. Believing that the body holds a deep wisdom, Machelle strives to achieve authentic connection with her clients to create a space of discovery. She tailors each session to address a client’s specific needs by incorporating a variety of modalities including direct and indirect myofascial release, trigger point therapy, breath, directed visualization, and various Swedish techniques.

Machelle graduated from the Oregon School of Massage and holds advanced training in myofascial, abdominal, prenatal, labor induction, postpartum, and pelvic floor massage.

Machelle lives and works on a 60-acre organic farm with her husband and 3 feral cats. In her free time, Machelle is a Pilates instructor, enjoys dancing, and connecting with others.
