Feel Better, Heal Better.

Results-oriented massage therapy and manual lymphatic drainage in Ballard Seattle

✨Hit Pause💛

Breathwise Massage & Bodywork has moved to a nearby location due to a fire in our building at The Ballard Collective on August 8. We are still open 1-2 days per week and will add more days again in September, while I take a moment to pause, breathe deeply, and metabolize this nudge from the universe that one moment is ending, and something else is beginning.

Whatever you're experiencing in your life also, here's a reminder to keep trust, connections, and purpose in your vision. Stay connected to your body, it's like the boat that will carry you there!

This loss has been a huge lesson for me. It helps me remember that others care. When life gets rough, we're not alone.  It's hard, but it's not the end of the world.

My studio has temporarily moved 1 mile east, with a lighter schedule 1-2 days/week until the Fall.

Kind words from clients…

  • These massages are the best! And Michelle gave me practices I can do at home to help my breathing and posture. These have helped me feel better in my body.

    ⏤Corinne

  • Breathwork specifically opened up my diaphragm so much that it relieved a shoulder issue that I've combated with for some time, and that was just the first session.

    ⏤Shannon

  • Michelle has a gift for being able to locate the issue in your body and address your needs.

    ⏤Jane

  • I use the breathing techniques when I feel tense and it definitely helps.

    ⏤David

  • Michelle teaches with warmth, joy, and precision. It is always nurturing to be with her, whether it's a yoga or breath-focused class or a cold-water plunge!

    ⏤Alessandra

  • I am someone who is in tune with my body, but you helped me to bring my breath down deeper. It anchored me in a different orientation to myself.

    ⏤Laurin

  • Breathwork helps me to regulate my emotions.
