Michelle Elise (She/Her)

Diploma of Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies

Hey! I’m Michelle, a Shiatsu Practitioner based in Brunswick East.

I bring a warm and calming presence to my practice which offers a sense of comfort for you and your treatment experience.

I studied at the Australian Shiatsu College specialising in Zen, Classical and Barefoot Shiatsu techniques, as well as Cupping, Moxibustion and Gua Sha. I have also completed training in Yin Yoga, Chi Nei Tsang Part 1 and ‘Movement Shiatsu’ - a practice that encourages the receiver to become an explorer of their own body.

As a practitioner I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where all feel welcome and comfortable to explore what they need to in a session. My approach to Shiatsu is grounded and intuitive, centered in the belief that touch is a powerful tool for our physical and emotional wellbeing.

Open to working with clients of all ages and health issues; I’m particularly interested in trauma sensitive Shiatsu, digestive support, mental health conditions, autoimmunity and abdominal massage.

When not on the futon I love to spend hours tending to my garden, see live music and go for bird watching adventures along the Merri.

I look forward to welcoming you onto the mat and finding out how I can best support you with your health journey.
