My name is Autumn Russell, and I have lived in Traverse City my whole life. I received my massage therapy and bodywork training in Samara, Costa Rica. I lived on campus for four months in a bootcamp style school for massage. I learned a holistic approach to massage therapy which means taking mind, body, and soul in order to have balance. The teachers are some of the best in the country, including naturopaths, massage therapists, and registered nurses. Down in Costa Rica I learned many different modalities which are listed on the Home page. I was also taught how to combine everything I had learned into one, making me capable of creating unique combinations to fit my client's needs.
After arriving back in Michigan I decided to start my own business. I wanted to be able to offer all that I can to my clients and let them receive the very best. I strive for perfection and the highest professionalism possible. Being part of the American Massage Therapy Association, passing the MBLEX and the NCETMB I have started my business out with as much certification as possible in Michigan. Deciding I did not like running a business and wanted to focus all of my energy on massage I started massaging at Salone de Capelli. I loved it at this great salon located in the Old State Hospital of Traverse City. I recently moved to Tonic Salon & Gallery in Old Town of Traverse City. Come visit me someday and enjoy an amazing massage!
