“What is AMMA?” "AMMA", the oldest Chinese word to describe massage, is an ancient healing system dating back about 5,000 years to the period of the Yellow Emperor. The name "Am-ma" means "push-pull."  “How do you feel after the massage?” You feel energetic and balanced. AMMA massage leaves you feeling revitalized rather than sedated. The effect lasts several days after the treatment.  “How is it done?” Unlike traditional massage, this treatment is done with the client clothed and seated comfortably relaxed in a specially designed chair.  “Who benefits from the treatment?” Everyone! Especially persons having a tension pain in their shoulders, necks and backs.  “Will it help me?” Michelle will have to see you in person in order to get to know your individual case.  “What is SWEDISH MASSAGE?” A full body invigorating massage. Designed to alleviate stress, anxiety and nervous tension. A glowing sense of well-being is promoted after a well executed massage.  “What is HOT STONE MASSAGE?” Stone Therapy is an ancient healing art that’s been around for thousands of years. The Egyptians, Tibetans and Native Americans used stones during rituals and ceremonies. Various size hot stones are used to massage different parts of the body and stones are comfortably placed on specific areas.  “ I am unsure what kind of massage do I need?” With Michelle you can try AMMA plus Swedish or AMMA plus Japanese Hot Stone massage during the same session (Japanese Hot Stone massage is available in August 2004).  “I don’t feel actual pain, I just want to relax. What treatment do I need?” AMMA, Swedish massage and Japanese Hot Stone massage can be used.  “Can me and my co-workers get a treatment in our office?” Yes. 15- to 30- minutes On-Chair treatments are available for staff, conferences and other corporate events.
