Hello,  My name is Michael Parente.  I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) Practitioner, Reflexology Practitioner, Reiki Practitioner, Transcendental Meditation (TM) Practitioner, and lifelong student of the human body and soul.

For me, life is all about wellness - For Mind, Body and Spirit. Feeling good in your own body from head to toe. When we feel good, life is good; and we tend to make better choices and take better care of ourselves - it's that self-care that translates into living a happy and healthy long life. 

I have always been drawn to help people.  It's just part of my DNA. I know what it feels like to not feel well, or to feel misunderstood.  My goal is to listen and to understand; through this I am able help, and give you my best. I was brought up in a 'service' family that was always giving - always helping - always serving.  I was truly blessed by a Mother who demonstrated love through action, compassion and empathy.   

I have practiced martial arts nearly all of my life and have served our country proudly. I was very active in the raising of my amazing children, now with amazing children of their own. Pure love, pure joy, and blessings. 

I continually learn more about massage therapy techniques, biohacking and Reflexology, and I am currently enrolled in the Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Program through the Yoga Allaince (YA), which helps me to stay healthy and in top shape, physically, mentally and spiritually. 

I love to cook, and I am a pescatarian, however; I focus on a mostly plant-based diet. I try to follow Hippocrates philosophy of "let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food'.  I love to take my Husky to the beach - both of our happy places.  I practice yoga and workout in some way everyday to ensure I can provide the best service possible. 

I've been blessed with the ability to dance three inches off the ground nearly everyday of this amazing life - and plan to do so everyday forward. 

I look forward to helping you on your journey to a happy, healthy better self.
