I’m Joei Michiko, a massage therapist with 17 years of experience in somatic, trauma-informed bodywork and I work with clients throughout the Peninsula.

My approach integrates skilled bodywork with an understanding of how the nervous system holds patterns of tension, injury, and stress. I completed a 1,000-hour Holistic Health Practitioner certification in California, with specialized training in massage therapy, somatic techniques, and complementary modalities including herbalism and aromatherapy.

My background also includes studies in horticulture and plant medicine, which informs my practice of creating custom-blended oils tailored to each client's therapeutic needs.

I work with individuals seeking ongoing support for chronic pain, injury recovery, stress management, and nervous system regulation. Sessions include attentive assessment, clear communication about what the body is expressing, and adjustments to treatment as needs evolve.

I maintain a limited client practice to ensure care remains focused and responsive.
