Try the Sozo zero gravity massage chair

Prefer a calm, soothing visit without hands-on massage? The zero gravity massage chair is a welcoming option for exactly that.

It is a real choice alongside MeShell’s therapeutic massage, not an afterthought. Settle into the chair, let yourself unwind, and take a little time for yourself.

About

A licensed, clinical approach

MeShell became a licensed massage therapist in 2012 through the Kalamazoo Center for the Healing Arts. She has held contracts with Ascension Borgess Health and Fitness Center, Ambrosia Therapeutic Massage, and Abie Chiropractic, and treats every client with that same clinical care.

She opened her original home office in 2014, and in April 2026 opened a second location, Sozo at Unwinding, giving clients on either side of Kalamazoo a place close to home.

MeShell knows pain and recovery firsthand. After years of managing pain from accidents, illness, and surgeries, she turned to massage and made it her life's work, which is why her clients feel heard as well as treated. Read MeShell's story

Why massage

What massage can help with

Clients come to Sozo for many reasons. Research and clinical experience point to benefits in these areas.

Pain relief

Eases low back and neck pain, muscle tension, and fibromyalgia discomfort, and can help with pain after surgery.

Joints and movement

Supports range of motion and balance, and can ease arthritis pain and joint replacement discomfort.

Stress, sleep, and mood

Promotes relaxation, lowers stress and anxiety, supports better sleep, and may help lower blood pressure.

Headaches

Many clients find relief from tension headaches, and some see fewer migraines with regular care.

Athletes and active lifestyles

Helps golfers, tennis players, runners, and weekend athletes bounce back from injury and hard training. Can ease overuse conditions like golfer's elbow and tennis elbow, along with sore muscles and tight joints, and supports athletic performance.

Comfort during other care

Can bring comfort and ease symptoms such as nausea and stress for people in cancer treatment or hospice care.

Massage complements medical care and does not replace it. If you are under a doctor's care, let MeShell know so your sessions work alongside your treatment.
