Holistic Pain Relief and Therapeutic Offerings
-
Medical Massage
Medical Massage is a focused, therapeutic approach to addressing chronic pain, injuries, and structural issues. Rather than a general full-body session, each treatment concentrates on the specific regions contributing to your discomfort. Clinical techniques are used to relieve nerve compression, improve muscle function, and support long-term recovery. Whether you’re dealing with postural imbalances, a diagnosed health issue, or pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments, this work goes beyond relaxation to create real, lasting change.
Based in Midtown Tallahassee, I offer medical massage therapy for clients seeking results-driven care in a supportive, one-on-one setting. It’s an ideal option for those looking to move beyond temporary relief and address the deeper causes of discomfort.

Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a results-focused treatment designed to support athletic performance, recovery, and injury prevention. Each session concentrates on the muscle groups and movement patterns most impacted by your training or physical activity. Techniques may include deep tissue work, trigger point release, and guided stretching—tailored to the specific demands of your body.
Whether you’re a competitive athlete, an active weekend warrior, or recovering from sports-related strain, this targeted work helps improve mobility, reduce tension, and keep you performing at your best.
Based in Midtown Tallahassee, I offer sports massage therapy for individuals looking to stay strong, flexible, and injury-free through focused, one-on-one care.

Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method that helps the body release tension, regulate the nervous system, and restore inner balance. Using subtle, sustained touch along the head, spine, and sacrum, this therapy encourages deep relaxation while supporting relief from headaches, TMJ dysfunction, chronic neck and back pain, post-concussion symptoms, sleep issues, and emotional stress.
Clients often experience a sense of unwinding or stillness, as the body shifts out of stress and into a natural state of healing. Sessions are fully clothed, non-invasive, and tailored to your body’s needs.
Located in Midtown Tallahassee, I offer craniosacral therapy for clients seeking a quiet, effective path to nervous system support, pain relief, and long-term wellness.

Daoist Neuro-Energetic Balancing
Restore balance. Reset your system. Relieve pain at its energetic root.
Daoist NeuroEnergetic Balancing (DNEB) is a hands-on healing method grounded in classical Daoist practices and modern energetic anatomy. It works directly with the nervous system, subtle energy pathways, and core consciousness to release deep patterns of tension, trauma, and imbalance.
This gentle yet powerful approach is especially effective for pain issues—including back pain, shoulder tension, headaches, nerve pain, and sciatica. By harmonizing the flow of Qi and helping the nervous system reset, DNEB supports lasting relief and a greater sense of ease in the body.
Most pain-related concerns respond best to a series of three sessions, allowing the body and energy system to integrate change at a deeper level.

Mike is a gifted professional with a heartfelt compassion and desire to participate and bring his patient to a better place of wellbeing. it is rare to find an individual dedicated to listening without a forced agenda. His treatment approach allows for an individualized outcome that is patient oriented, as opposed to what other practitioners often provide that feels like a mechanical and cookie-cutter (every body is the same) delivery. Thank you mike.

I showed up at Mikes office after seeing everyone who thought they might be able to help with my headaches. Physical Therapists, chiropractors, a neurologist after a trip to the ER and no one could do much. The neurologist told me to find a good masseuse so that is why I found Mike. I have been seeing him once a month for 4 years and do not have headaches anymore except on rare occasions. I was having them 3-4 times a week. He does something most people do not and you have to try it!!
