increase your flexibility and range of motion through massage

Each deep tissue treatment massage is customized to fit your needs

Our Approach

GHEM (which stands for Gentle Healing Energy Manipulation) provides a unique approach to massage by incorporating energy manipulation with massage techniques like deep tissue, structural integration, assisted stretching, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, swedish, and manual lymphatic drainage to intuitively connect with the body. The slower paced process allows the body to remove tension, stress, and negative influences at its own pace. This style has become highly effective in removing all types of negative influences and blockages.

After a GHEM session, you feel rejuvenated, energized and ready for the world. Flexibility and range of motion can noticeably increase with as little as one session.

Sheryl Michels, LMT

Sheryl Michels was born and raised in the Seattle area. Since a very young age she was able to see and experience energy in ways much different from the average person. Naturally empathic, she has always had a deep understanding of others and the negative effects of energy on the body and surrounding environments.

She developed her own style of massage and energy work after suffering from health issues and negative influences in her own life. She started seeing a Naturopath, which changed her life. For the first time, she felt like she was making progress. This eventually led her to leave her life-long career in the real estate industry to enroll in massage school. After graduating and obtaining her Massage Therapist license in 2019, she officially began her journey to help others like herself. She continues her lifelong quest for knowledge about the body by taking classes, attending workshops and seminars, and experiencing different forms of treatment options.

Sheryl loves to read, hang out with her 3 cats, and explore the Pacific Northwest; especially the coast.

Please provide 24 hour notice (except for illness, emergency, or bad weather). if less than 24 hour notice is given and it's your first time, you will be charged 50% of the session fee. Each additional missed sessions will be charged at 100%.

COLD, FLU, ILLNESS, ETC.

If you are feeling under the weather, have a fever, known infection, or have experienced vomiting or diarrhea within 24 hours prior to your appointment time, we request that you reschedule your session. Massage will often make the symptoms/illness worse, plus the massage therapist would like to stay healthy herself and not be exposed to a possible illness.

ARRIVAL- EARLY AND LATE

Please arrive at your appointment on time. If paperwork needs to be completed, we ask that you arrive 5-10 minutes early, so it doesn't take away from your session. Please refrain from arriving early for a regular session without prior approval. If you do arrive early, please refrain from ringing the bell until your appointment time. If the therapist is available early, they will let you know. LATE arrival - please call/text if you are going to be late. If you are late you will be charged for the full session and the end time will not be extended to accommodate the late arrival.

INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR

Massage therapy is for relaxation and therapeutic purposes only. There is absolutely no sexual component to massage whatsoever. Any insinuation, joke, gesture, conversation, or request otherwise will result in immediate termination of your session and a refusal of any and all services in the future. You will be charged the full service fee regardless of the length of your session. Depending on the behavior exhibited, we may also file a report with the local authorities.

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE

Therapeutic massage is not a substitute for traditional medical treatment or medications. The massage therapist does not diagnose illnesses or injuries or prescribe medications. Please make sure you have clearance from your doctor to receive massage therapy. Risks associated with massage: superficial bruising, short-term muscle soreness and possibly exacerbation of undiscovered injury. It is important to inform your massage therapist of all medical conditions and medications, and to understand there may be additional risks based on your physical condition. Please let your therapist know right away of any discomfort during the massage so that she may adjust accordingly. Both you and the massage therapist have the right to terminate the session at any time.
