ABOUT ME
I graduated with honors from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 2006. Since then, I’ve pursued continuing education in manual lymphatic drainage, scar tissue management, oncology massage and breast cancer rehabilitation. The most common issues I love to address are post-op swelling, pain or physical discomfort and scar tissue problems.
I'm a bodyworker with a strong intuitive sense, a "detective" style, guided by my desire to help people feel better. I began my massage therapy career after moving to Colorado in 2005. In a very roundabout way, massage therapy is how I serve humanity and put my first degree, Anthropology, to use. Through attentive and caring touch, I get to know the many different aspects of the human experience.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle Myofascial Release
"The swelling in my ankle has gone down drastically! This is by far the best it's looked since the accident. Thank you!"
JUDY

Scar Tissue Therapy
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
"Michelle has a calm, compassionate, and specialized touch. When I found her, she guided me to breathe into my scars so I could heal from the inside out. The scars from my recent breast cancer surgeries and treatments left me tight and constricted and unable to move my shoulder without pain. While Michelle’s hands and fingers gently massaged my radiated skin back to elasticity I could sense her focused mind examining every fiber of facia, teaching it to grow, transform, heal, and flourish the many layers of facia into new muscle and tissue for my future survival. I am forever grateful for Michelle Licha-Oros and recommend anyone who is presented with a life scarring challenge to heal with her special touch.

MARY BETH
Abdominal Adhesions
Scar Tissue Therapy
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
"I am forever grateful that a good friend of mine who is also a Massage Therapist referred me to Michelle Licha-Oros. Michelle is a highly skilled and compassionate Massage Therapist who has the knowledge and the “touch” to deal with abdominal adhesions which I suffered from for years. Michelle began treating me about 8 weeks after my 5th major abdominal surgery, which I underwent for lysis of multiple adhesions (from prior surgeries) and removal of sections of both large and small intestines. Michelle is at the same time gentle, careful as well as effective. She worked closely with me during every session, seeking my input about areas of concern and feedback about her treatment. Michelle is that rare clinician who combines a strong kinesthetic and intuitive sense of touch with a caring manner and her extensive knowledge and training in anatomy and therapeutic massage techniques.

I live with it every day
If I had know to treat the scar at 28 might be I have avoided some of the mobility issues.
I din’t know that my armpit would come back to haunt me"
