I believe the best testimonials come directly from the people I've helped. Here are some of the thoughts my clients have shared with me:
"Madeline is a miracle worker! She is a master at body work. Whether you need to alleviate pain, re-define your body shape, gain flexibility, need a great massage, or center/ground your well being, Madeline is highly qualified, trained and skilled to relieve your body of unwanted pain & stress. She helps you become YOU!" Lizzie T. East Village NY
"Madeline is a miracle worker! I've tried a lot of massage therapy for my horribly bad back, but no one even comes close to Madeline. She is truly in a league of her own." Vibeke J. Brooklyn NY
"Madeline is the absolute best practitioner! I have trusted her with my well being for over 20 years and she has always exceeded my expectations. I have recommended many friends over the years who have also become loyal clients. Her approach takes into account your body and emotional well being. My entire family has benefited from her services. She is intuitive, generous and truly caring. I highly recommend her BodyFeelGood Studio!!" Patricia M. Manhattan NY
I have been seeing her for a year and find her to be professional and caring. I walk in feeling tension and I leave relaxed, AND with a more beautifully shaped & toned body. She is amazing!"Madeline, I can't remember when my back felt this good, and my shoulders look lower as well. The cupping you did was terrific". Pamela NYC
"I go to Madeline for top of the line bodywork. She is par excellence extraordinaire - the gold standard." Eleanor NYC
"To speak of Madeline Michaels as a "massage therapist" is like calling Tiger Woods a duffer, or Picasso a Sunday painter. Actually, the difference is even more extreme because even the average golfer goes on a golf course, and even a beginner painter smears some paint on the canvas, whereas the average massage therapist couldn't even pretend to Madeleine's skills. A gifted healer, she takes time to figure out what's wrong, listening, asking probative questions and making careful observations of how you move an affected part. She works on injured areas in ways that are highly skilled, sensible, and healing--much as a physical therapist might. Madeline understands body mechanics and communicates well so that you understand what's not functioning correctly and why not. Perhaps most importantly, she teaches you excercises-- protective stretches and strengthing moves--that enable you to participate in your own health. She is the "goto" person for anyone in the tri-state area in need of bodywork short of medical intervention." Don Friedman, Author
“Madeline's profound love of life and desire to learn and expand with consciousness reflects in her work. She is a true guiding light to others.” Esta Libero

Thank you for the beautiful lesson, the wonderful exchange.You are a gifted body worker, Madeline on many levels -- good at explaining, at doing, open to receiving and of a harmonious consciousness. Also, I have not felt such a release of energy in a long time. My legs and hips are feel SO much better. This skin rolling is one of the besT.
"Madeline, I feel great reverance for you and your work, please consider my thoughts: I believe you bring the possibility of change on a cellular level through chemistry and emotion - in the same way prayer does with vibration. You have a great mission!! I am honored to witness it." Lisa Roselli
"I read an article in W Magazine about holistic and therapeutic massages but didn't know of a good practitioner in New York. Coincidentally, the day after I read the article, I discovered that my colleague just had an appointment with Madeline and gave a rave review. I immediately called to make an appointment. Madeline is very warm and professional, and she understands the body so well. My experience was completely relaxing and comforting. I never had any masseuse take so much care in working on my body. She used long sweeping motions and graduated pressure that released all of my stress and tension. I felt light and empty afterward, in a spiritual way. I really believe that therapeutic massages are necessary to maintain your body and I highly recommend Madeline Michaels to anyone seeking this type of healing." Jessica Dang NYC
"Madeline, I just wanted to tell you...OH MY GOD. I loved what this one treatment did for me and I can only imagine what a few more sessions will do. First of all, the day after our session, I was touching my skin, especially my thighs, and it felt like silk, almost like a baby's bottom. Today, 2 days later, I feel slimmer like you said I would, and I swear to you, I don't see as much cellulite on the back of my thighs as before the treatment. It's minimized a lot although of course there is a little still. I can't explain it. I feel like I inherited the legs of a 25 year old or time was rewinded to what my legs used to be. I want to say thank you so much for everything. I look forward to working more with you. You have the greatest spirit and I loved the energy in your home. You made me feel very welcome." Namaste, Celia Naschimento
"Madeline, our session was so great it was unreal. What an outer body experience. Thank you for trusting in me to take me to the next level. I cannot begin to tell you how good I feel. I look forward to the next energetic event. Thank you!" Ernest Martinez, Kafka Construction New York
