Meet Janelle

Janelle is a licensed Massage Therapist who has been practicing in Michigan since 2003. She is a graduate of the Ann Arbor Institute of Massage Therapy where she trained primarily in Myofascial and Neuromuscular Therapies. Together, these two modalities create a deeply therapeutic massage as they address chronic as well as acute pain held within the body. Janelle is also trained in Thai Massage which she studied while traveling in Thailand in 2002. Thai Massage is a dynamic yet relaxing form of massage that combines passive stretching with acupressure in order to increase movement and flexibility within the joints, muscles and energy lines of the body. Previous to this, Janelle studied and taught yoga with the Sivananda Ashram Yoga communities in Woodburne, NY, and Grass Valley, CA.

Janelle's employment history includes Carol Lewis Day Spa in Birmingham, MI as well as the Birmingham Wellness Center where she worked alongside a handful of talented chiropractors and massage therapists for four years. In 2013, she opened her own massage space in Birmingham where she worked by referral only until moving to the Traverse City area in 2021.

Besides helping people become pain & stress free, Janelle also has a second job as a ceramic artist. You can find her botanically inspired, ceramic home wares and decor at janellesonger.com She also enjoys gardening, vegetarian cooking, mountain biking, kayaking, and going for long hikes through the woods with her dog, Maya.
