Born on Whidbey Island and raised in Seattle, Mike is thrilled to be serving his community as Vitality Specific’s new massage therapist. A lifelong interest in holistic medicine brought him to the 1,000 hour massage therapy program atCortiva Institute, from which he graduated in April 2010. His style of massage is a blend of myofascial release, neuromuscular technique, and Swedish massage. He believes that the job of a massage therapist continues outside the treatment room and is committed to educating his clients about how best to heal themselves. Mike is passionate about the ability of touch to heal pain, and looks forward to working with every client who walks through the door.
