About Michelle Warner Hansen

LMT, CMLDT, CYT 200, MELT Method Instructor



Michelle’s journey into wellness began in 1999, when she discovered the transformative power of yoga as a way to balance the physical intensity of teaching aerobics. What started as a practice to strengthen her body soon became a path to deeper peace, alignment, and purpose. Guided by a deep belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, Michelle has devoted her life to empowering others to heal and thrive from within.


With over two decades of experience, Michelle brings a grounded, nurturing presence and a wealth of knowledge in therapeutic massage, lymphatic drainage, the MELT Method®, yoga, and holistic health coaching. Her work is centered on helping individuals reconnect to their innate wisdom and vitality, especially older adults, women navigating life’s many seasons—from birth to aging—and anyone seeking recovery, renewal, or a deeper connection to their body’s natural rhythms.
Every session with Michelle is personalized, intuitive, and integrative—whether it’s releasing tension through massage, restoring flow with lymphatic drainage, or reawakening the nervous system through mindful movement and fascia care. Her goal is to co-create a wellness experience that supports your healing from the inside out.
Whether you’re seeking relief, restoration, or realignment, Michelle is here to walk alongside you—bringing intention, compassion, and a deep belief in the body’s ability to heal!
