Massage/Acupressure Mars
His-Story
From the moment his Yogi mother taught him to breathe at the young age of five, Michael Arthur Riel has been studying the human body. With the awareness of breath and body, Michael started gymnastics before he was in school and within a few years was competing provincially. He did so until 1993 and then felt the pull and evolution towards Mind-Body-Focus and continued with Yoga and Martial Arts. In 2000 at the prestigious Hollyhock school, Michael took an integrated study program learning African drumming, African dancing and Yoga. The following year he completed his Yoga Teachers Training Course and started an intensive Five Year program in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Throughout these five years studies included: Acupuncture, Chinese Massage, Shiatsu, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Diet Consultation, Psychology, Eastern/Western Medical Theory, Geriatrics, Women's Cycles, Tai Chi and I Gong. In the last year and a half Michael has focused on professional dance including Métis Jigging, Contemporary and fire dancing, his Reiki Level 2 and attaining his Reiki Masters Level, plus practicing his mental balance with both meditation and mediation.
His-Style
Michael listens with the deepest space of being and hears your hearts intention. In the moment, he feels the body's constitution and gets where the body is at right now in the present. With his intuitive hands (heart centered beyond Mind/emotion) and intentions will clear the space to allow for the magnificent power of the human mind body and spirit to do what it is able to do...HEAL and be in-motion as the nature of dis-ease is to be without motion as this is the only constant in the Universe (or Multi-verse if it may be so) with Reiki, massage, Pranic healing (Chakra Wisdom), Traditional Chinese Medicine/Western medicine and Medicine Wheel practices.
His-Clients
I had an amazing massage experience from Michael. During the session, I experienced total relaxation throughout my body and tranquility of mind. I felt all my tensions and concerns evaporated, my muscles relaxed and my mind slipped into a trance-like state.
He has strong and skilled hands, which are very intuitive to the nature of the body, muscles and reaction. He uses a combination of techniques and styles which he had learned and developed over the years to hit the right spots, all the while guiding you to what seemed like a journey thru meditation.
Long after the session, my whole being felt relaxed and invigorated that at times I felt like I was floating. He is truly gifted at showering his client with peaceful healing energy.

After injuring my right hand and wrist, I was unable to do any work (or play!) Mars did an acupuncture session on my hand, wrist and arm and then focused some Reiki energy on the hurt area. I could feel it working right away but the injury was still very inflamed and I kept it elevated and in a brace. The next day he did another session on my whole arm and the injured wrist area. It was noticeably better. The doctor had told me it would take weeks to heal my injury but after the two sessions and five days of rest – I can actually type this – work and play again with it! Yay! He is very sensitive and spends time with the area giving it the proper attention whether it is through Reiki, acupuncture or just some good old-fashioned love. I am definitely getting him to work on me again – without a doubt.
