Meet Michele

40+ Years of Healing from the Inside Out

Michele started her journey in the LSU women’s training room back in 1987, where she first learned about sports massage. From there, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology/Sports Medicine, then traveled the country to study advanced massage techniques.

She later co-founded the Massage Academy of the South in Baton Rouge and helped shape Louisiana’s professional standards for massage therapy. Michele continued her studies, earning a Master’s in Occupational Therapy and training directly with leaders in the field—including John F. Barnes, the founder of the world-renowned Myofascial Release (MFR) approach.
