Aloha I was born in Arizona and I love music, adventures and seeing beautiful places. If I could explore all of space and look at all the gorgeous planets I would do it in an instant. I love the atmosphere and the calmness at Hawaiian Experience Spa.

Aloha, I have been a massage therapist, over twenty years. I have lived in Arizona most of my life. I have dedicated my life in pursuing the education and awareness for understanding the complexities of the human body and its mechanics. I started learning about the alternative healing arts by training in the martial sciences at age six.

I was born and raised in Arizona. Actually, grew up right here in Chandler! I graduated from Chandler High School and studied massage at EVIT (East Valley Institute of Technology).  I have been a massage therapist since 2017 and love working here at Hawaiian Experience Spa.

Moving stagnant energy out to unlock the body’s potential to start healing and flowing freely is why I love massage. Massage alleviates ailments to make way for clean energy to flow through.

My highest priority is to always act in a manner deserving of the trust placed in me as a bodyworker. Over the years I have been practicing I most value the relationships that I build with individuals. I strive always to listen and do my best to create the experience that a guest hopes to achieve.

I am originally from Los Angeles, CA and moved to AZ in 2014. I became Licensed in 2018, and that’s when my journey to self-healing began. When I am not massaging, I am doing arts and crafts, DIY projects, enjoying nature, listening to podcasts and reading books on self-improvement.

After working with me for a bit, many clients describe me as an intuitive massage therapist and say my touch is different, in a good way. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to provide people with calming, caring and effective body work because it allows me to fulfill a large part of my life’s purpose and that makes me happy.

Aloha! My name is Michelle, and I have been a licensed massage therapist for five years. Although I am trained in a wide range of modalities, my favorites/specialties are trigger point, injury, sports, deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, and Swedish. While practicing as a massage therapist, I am also a full-time student at GCU.

I come from a really big family and in that family I was raised by my grandmother.  She was relatively older so naturally she had aches and pains in her body and would always tell me to massage her and even though I was inexperienced. I was determined to do whatever I could to make her comfortable by perfecting the way I massaged her throughout the years. I enjoyed being able to take that pain away.  She inspired me to become a healer and my husband pushed me to finally go to school.
