"After a series of 10 treatments, I was able to discontinue medication for panic attacks and a stomach disorder. The quality of my life has improved dramatically and I continue to enjoy good health."
Sophie M., Receptionist
"After each of my three treatments I felt energized, and a nagging four-year-old shoulder injury that physiotherapy hadn't completely resolved seems to be dealt with now. Though it's hard for me to admit it, I believe the credit is due to Mihael."

The shiatsu therapy I received from Mihael during and after my third pregnancy was truly a healing, peaceful experience. Before the sessions, I would often feel exhausted with a strained and weary body. Afterwards, I would walk out feeling lighter and more energetic with lovely, calm warmth permeating my being. Mihael clearly understands all the stresses that pregnancy and motherhood put on a body and soul. He is a very natural, generous and sympathetic therapist and I would recommend him to any mom!

"My Life would not be the same today if I had passed up the opportunity to be in Mihael's care. His ability to cover the whole body and focus on specific areas in need in one hour is simply amazing. During my first visit with Angel Hands, I felt a soothing white light flowing through my body and the Healing nature of the Shiatsu treatment was profound. Mihael's 'Wise Hands' always seem to find the physical and emotional areas that need attention. I have great Love and Gratitude for his caring work and I appreciate his constant reminder to nurture ourselves".

"I began Shiatsu treatments with Mihael nearly four years ago to supplement training and recovery of competitive college Track and Field. I have been coming regularly ever since. Mihael's ability to diagnose, treat and 'service' the body in every session is incredible.
What makes his Shiatsu sessions unique is not only his vast experience and expertise in Shiatsu therapy, but also the knowledge and sense of overall spritual well-being that he provides with each session."

Some good friends of mine gave me a shiatsu treatment with Mihael for my birthday one year. I wasn't sure what to expect because I wasn't all that familiar with shiatsu yet. To my surprise, I absolutely loved it! I immediately felt very comfortable with Mihael, like we were old friends. I remember feeling like I was floating in the clouds during my session with him. My body and entire being were in a blissful state of deep relaxation. I have been seeing Mihael for over a year now. My regular visits with him help to keep me on track physically, emotionally, mentally & spiritually. I always leave my treatments with him feeling like my body, mind & spirit went on a tranquil, healing mini vacation.

I came to see Mihael two years ago, having developed an injury from distance running. I am a marathon runner and was unsure about whether I would be able to continue my sport in the same capacity. I can happily report, without exaggeration that Mihael was able to completely eradicate this recurrent injury and I continue to run marathons. Mihael has the uncanny capacity to very quickly assess his client's needs and treat accordingly. Along with the above benefit, I have felt less stress in my life and have come to appreciate the holistic health advantages that shiatsu offers. I wholeheartedly endorse Mihael as an exceptional practitioner and have recommended him to many others.

I have been receiving Shiatsu treatments from Mihael for about two years. I came to him for help on various fronts. I suffer from chronic back and neck pain, resulting from a car accident many years ago. I live a very hectic life due to various commitments, and have a very demanding & high pressure job. So I also suffer from digestive disorders and spasms. I was seeing specialists for this disorder until I was told that ‘Western medicine' could no longer help me due to the unavailability of medication for my specific condition.
I heard of Mihael, about the type of therapy he gives and how he could make a difference. So I thought of giving it a try as I had nothing to lose. I'm so glad that I took this step, it has made a great difference in my life and he has helped me tremendously. The therapy room itself is so cozy and comfortable, the soft background music and soothing scents are both relaxing and invigorating. After a treatment I feel completely relaxed and very Zen. Believe me, this is a very hard state for me to achieve as I’m normally quite hyperactive, so kudos to Mihael for managing to get me into a completely serene state! I’m also very happy to report that the therapy has considerably improved my back pain and my digestive disorders. I feel I can live normally again and eat certain foods that I used to avoid before. I'm no longer in constant pain or suffer from chronic bloating or cramps. I'm definitely a convert to this type of therapy. I believe it truly makes a difference on both our mental and physical health. I feel absolutely wonderful; better than I have in years. Mihael really has the healing hands of an angel. I applaud Mihael for the work he is doing, for having chosen this path, for his natural talents as a healer and wish him lots of success.

I've been using Mihael's services for about 2 years now. As a business owner of an automotive mechanical shop, I tend to get quite sore muscles throughout my back, shoulders and arms due to the various odd positions that I am constantly put in while pushing, pulling or twisting on wrenches.
I also get quite stressed out due to the various demands of running my own business and the workloads/deadlines that I need to meet. Mihael's treatments are extremely helpful in working out the various muscular kinks in my body. In addition they have a very calming nature to them which helps to ease my stress levels. He's very knowledgeable and in tune with the human body, and can offer many natural and medicinal remedies to help you with any symptoms you may also be having. I highly recommend him!
James Kenyon, business owner
I met Mihael just over 4 years ago, about 3 weeks after my breast cancer surgery to remove most of the lymph nodes under my arm. I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk straight which was causing me more pain.
Mihael was doing short sample treatments at a local health food store. He worked on my neck and upper back and I thought I’d gone to heaven!
It was so relaxing and helpful that I have been seeing him regularly ever since. I initially had some worries that he might cause me more pain but was soon reassured by his knowledge of the body and finding all the tight spots all over my body.
He can fix everything from chest cold, to depression. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

I am a big admirer of Shiatsu Therapy and try to receive it as often as possible. I even got a gift certificate to my husband for our wedding anniversary, and he loved it!
Nowadays, with the constant stress we experience in life, being nervous, tensed and worn out. That is the time when you should have a Shiatsu massage. After a session I always feel very grounded and light. Anxiety and stress levels diminish significantly, and overall I feel great.
Shiatsu Therapy gives me great relief from back and neck pain which is caused by lifting and moving people as a caregiver. I feel that Shiatsu Therapy helps me stay healthy and strong and is a great solution to my problems.
Victoria Litargne, Caregiver
"I find Mihael is very calming and conscientious practitioner. The result of my few treatments is an improvement of my stiff neck. The treatments are both releasing and invigorating."
Elizabeth Ferguson
"Mihael was able to release pain from muscles that have hurt for years, especially in my shoulders and neck. I feel revitalized and the range of movement without pain has increased dramatically in my neck and arms. Thanks!"
Alexandra S., Teacher
"I have been receiving shiatsu treatment from Mihael at Zen Shiatsu Angelhands for over two years. Originally, I went to see Mihael because we were both starting new businesses and I wanted to support him in his new entrepreneurial venture. I had never experienced shiatsu so it was a brand new experience and I didn't really know what to expect. When I arrived for my first treatment, Mihael took a detailed inventory of my health, paying special attention to health history and current health issues. This conversation put me at ease and provided a base for Mihael and I to work from regarding the identification of health problems and the actions I could take to change my health. We talked about diet and exercise and meditation. My health problems were related to stress, fatigue, general aches and pains as well as occasional injuries such as a ribcage injury. Each treatment varied depending on my current health issue. To my surprise and delight I found the shiatsu treatment to be extremely relaxing but more importantly, the shiatsu was solving my health problems. The combination of the shiatsu, with altered activities involving my diet and exercise were actually affecting my overall health in a positive way. When I found myself suffering from an ailment I would call for an appointment and use shiatsu as part of my health regime.
The most dramatic shiatsu experience with Mihael was the treatment for my separated ribs. I was in extreme pain and could not even stand up properly without feeling pain in my ribcage. I had tried painkillers and muscle relaxants as prescribed by my physician but the injury was not healing; I called Mihael and he treated me twice for this problem; the pain was gone within the two treatments. It was the shiatsu treatment that provided relief from the injury. I would recommend Mihael for treatment when you feel good because it helps maintain good health and also for an injury because it speeds recovery."
