Total Muscle Therapy

TMT is growing up. 🥹💙

January marks five years of Total Muscle Therapy, which still feels a little wild to say!

With that next chapter comes an update to TMT pricing beginning January 1, 2027.

I know price increases are never the most exciting announcement, but they’re an important part of allowing me to continue running a sustainable small business while providing the quality, individualized care I want every client to receive.

One thing that isn’t changing?

💙 Same quality care.
💙 Same individualized approach.
💙 Same purpose.

Thank you for trusting me with your bodies, your aches and pains, your training recoveries, your “I slept funny and now I can’t turn my head” situations 😂, and everything in between.

Here’s to year five. 💙

🍂 October Massage Musings is LIVE! 💙

This month’s Musings feels a little different.

There’s a lot I could say about what’s inside… but that would ruin the fun. 😉

So instead, I’ll just say this one is personal, reflective, a little exciting, and very much where life and TMT are right now.

Grab your coffee ☕️ and settle in.

October Massage Musings: When Life Asks You to Slow Down

Go give it a read and let me know what catches your attention. 👀

October Massage Musings drops today. 🍂💙

And this one feels a little different.

There’s a lot in this month’s Musings.

Some personal.
Some business.
Some still very much in the “Michelle had an idea and now we’re seeing where this goes” phase. 😂

From slowing down and taking care of my person, to some changes coming to TMT, a little experimenting in the TMT Lab 🧪, and even a new idea I’ve been quietly playing around with… 🎙️👀

October Massage Musings: When Life Asks You to Slow Down 💙

September, you were a busy one. 💙🍂

As I close out another month at Total Muscle Therapy, I took a peek at the numbers and realized just how much work happened inside my little treatment room this month.

In September alone, I provided:

💙 35 60-minute massages
💙 14 90-minute massages
💙 56 hours of hands-on massage therapy

That’s a whole lot of muscles. 😂

But behind every one of those numbers is a person who chose to trust me with their body, whether they came in dealing with pain, recovering from an injury, training for something, managing stress, or simply needing to feel better.

And THAT is something I never take for granted.

Thank you for continuing to support TMT, for referring your friends and family, for coming back month after month, and for allowing me to keep doing a job I still genuinely love after more than 20 years in this profession. 💙

October will look a little different around here with some time away from the office for my family, but there are also some exciting things happening behind the scenes as I start looking ahead to TMT’s 5-year anniversary in January. 🥹

For now, goodbye September. 🍂

Hello, October. 💙

Here’s to taking care of the bodies that carry us through all of it.

More than massage. More than muscle.

A little personal post from your massage therapist. Two years ago today, I married my favorite person, and today also marks 8 years since our very first date. 🥰

It’s been quite the last few months for our little family, which makes celebrating the good days feel even more special. So tonight I’m trading the massage table for a dinner date and celebrating us. 🥂

Happy anniversary to my husband, the man behind the scenes, Ray! Here’s to many, many more.

Dolly Day at TMT is officially a wrap! 💙📚✨

Today, I donated $100 to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in honor of Dolly Day at Total Muscle Therapy! 🦋

I pledged to donate $25 from every massage booked today, and thanks to my amazing clients who filled the schedule, we were able to turn a day of massage into something that will help put books into the hands of children. 📖💕

Thank you to everyone who booked, supported, shared, or simply cheered this idea on. I loved doing this so much that Dolly Day is officially becoming an annual TMT tradition. 💙

Same time next year, Dolly. 🤠✨

💙✨ It’s Dolly Day at TMT! ✨💙

Today, $25 from every massage will be donated to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, helping put books into the hands of children and encouraging a love of reading from an early age. 📚🦋

My schedule is completely full today, which means TMT will be donating $100! 💙

I’ve always loved Dolly, not just for her music and personality, but for the way she uses her success to give back. So I thought, what better way to celebrate Give Like Dolly Day than to bring a little of that spirit right here to TMT?

And I’ve decided this won’t be a one-time thing. Dolly Day is officially becoming an annual TMT tradition. Every September 25th, we’ll Give Like Dolly. 🦋📚

Thank you to everyone on my table today for unknowingly being part of the very first one. 😉💙

Happy Dolly Day!

That nagging low back pain? I may end up spending time working on your hips. That shoulder that always feels tight? We might need to look at your pecs, lats, or how your shoulder blade is moving.

The body works as a system. Sometimes the area yelling the loudest is compensating for something happening somewhere else.

That’s why I don’t just chase the spot that hurts. I look at the bigger picture and tailor each session to what your body needs that day.

Massage isn’t one-size-fits-all. Neither is your body. 💙

Starting the week with a FULL schedule. 💪💙 I have 18.5 hours of hands-on massage booked this week, including a 90-minute session with my Patriots player.

For perspective, I cap myself at about 20 hands-on hours per week. After 20+ years of doing this, I’ve learned that taking care of my own body is just as important as taking care of everyone else’s.

And because apparently 18.5 hours of massage wasn’t enough… I’m wrapping up the week with a 3-hour CEU class Friday afternoon/evening. 😂📚

So yeah… that’s pretty much a full tank. Busy week ahead at TMT, and I’m ready for it!

TMT Lab is officially open. Today I am doing a little experimenting! 👩🏻‍🔬 I’m making my first test batch of a magnesium roll-on using magnesium flakes and distilled water. The goal is something simple and convenient that can be rolled directly onto those hardworking muscles. And before anything ever makes its way into TMT, I’m the guinea pig.

So today is batch number 1: mix it, bottle it, test it on myself, see how it feels on the skin, and figure out what I’d want to tweak before I even think about letting anyone else try it.

Massage therapist by trade and apparently an amateur TMT lab tech on Mondays. 🧪😂💙

Stay tuned for the results of the experiment.
