Michelle Ratz-McGuire RMT -Massage and Hypnotherapy

I recently had the pleasure of working with Michelle. The hypnotherapy sessions were incredibly effective in helping me achieve a sense of peace and control over my circumstances, and the audio recordings provided me with a useful tool for meditation and finding my way back to that place of peace whenever I needed it.Michelle has a calming and reassuring presence that immediately puts you at ease, and she tailors her approach to your individual needs and preferences. She has a genuine passion for helping people overcome their challenges and achieve their goals, and her expertise in hypnotherapy is incredible!

Michelle has been treating me for approximately 10 years and I have nothing but good things to say about her and her treatment methods. As she has continued to educate herself and perfect different approaches, I trust that her techniques will deliver the results I need based on what’s happening in my body. She’s both caring and solution focused so that I can live my life pain-free and with optimal mobility. Thanks again Michelle!

Took a leap of faith in booking based on Google reviews, and I'm so glad I did. Michelle seems very in tune with what's going on in your body, and stays focused the while time. Feeling so much better after just one session, and looking forward to more.

What an amazing experience, my shoulders and hips feel amazing after the session. It's a one of a kind treatment and unlike anything that I have had done before and worth every penny. I will be back Michelle and I recommend everyone to try it out.

Michelle is a specialist who doesn't just give a routine massage--she is able to identify problem spots and address them to promote longer term health and wellbeing. She has helped me in this way after significant health challenges. I believe that I get more from one hour with Michelle than two hours with other therapists. Longer massages have longer term impact on wellbeing more broadly.

I saw Michelle for some hypnotherapy to help me deal with some mild anxiety and intuitive eating strategies. She was great! She was very good at identifying the techniques that would help me and was very thorough about explaining the process and what to expect. She was strategic, patient and thoughtful in putting together a highly customized approach that would work for me.

I came to Michelle with a foot/ankle injury that had been causing me pain for a year. In 3 sessions she managed to give me my mobility back! Most therapists would only temporarily fix the pain and she has managed to slowly take it completely away. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and creates a very relaxing and comfortable environment.

I was anxious going into my first massage with Michelle because of some injuries I have, which often worsen with conventional massage techniques. Michelle listened to my concerns patiently and performed a comprehensive assessment that pinpointed the key areas she wanted to focus on. I was impressed with her thoroughness, expertise, and ability to identify problem areas that had been overlooked by traditional massage therapy treatments.In the past, I had regular massages for back, neck and shoulder tension and pain, but the issues never seemed to resolve. After just one session with Michelle, I experienced a significant release in tension and a greater range of motion. I noticed I was walking differently. Everything felt more open and relaxed.A few sessions later, I can confidently say my range of motion has improved and I have gained more flexibility and strength in my body. This progress isn't just from the treatments themselves, but also thanks to Michelle's suggestions for mobility and strength exercises, which have had a huge impact on my overall sense of well-being. I now have a renewed trust in my body's capabilities, and this means everything!Michelle's sessions are nothing like typical massage treatments. They may not be as soothing, but the results are much greater. My body has undergone a remarkable transformation after just a few sessions, thanks to Michelle's expert treatments and caring suggestions. I can't wait to see what comes next!If you are looking for something to help you shift from where you are now, to where you want to be, in terms of your body's pain, mobility, and capacity for movement, it's totally worth booking a session with Michelle!

I did not know exactly what to expect for the massage process - even after seeing the pictures and videos. It was VERY good and my expectations for the outcome were exceeded (had no expectations for the process, other than professional and polite, and those were on point).The booking options gave me a choice for the level of conversation, too.After my first appointment I felt the effects immediately, significantly better range of motion, and significantly more relaxed.Similar results after my second visit.The effects of the massage last far longer than I am used to, as well - massages on the mat instead of the table seem to offer Michelle far more access (and options) in how to address my muscles and release all that tension.This isn’t like a spa massage - this actually releases the stress physically, and feels a little more hands on than other massages I’ve had. I indicated that I was expecting a more aggressive massage, and Michelle delivered the right mix.Also - kind of surprisingly - it has helped with some of the ongoing pains that I thought were just normal parts of getting old.

Michelle is pure magic. She is incredibly intuitive with her care and touch. You will definitely leave feeling much, much better!
