About me

I began my Journey into Complementary Treatment in 1989 with my children when I would massage to encourage rest and better sleep.

I’ve trained on the Isle of Wight and in London, Oxford, Exeter and Brighton enjoying the teaching of my very enthusiastic and knowledgeable peers.


My work has helped many people and I have gained the trust of generations of families and have become known for these treatments where I live on the Isle of Wight. I travel to help friends and family living in Barcelona and Portugal. I have been invited to work in Retreats and this complements my own interests in Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Pilates and Crystals.


I visit Stroud regularly to provide treatments for clients in the area.


"Michelle gave me a Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) massage for jaw pain from grinding/clenching in my sleep due to stress - 3 weeks later, I still have an effortless big smile on my face and no pain or strain in my face muscles & jaw at all. I have 2 main disabilities, Salt-Wasting Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia & Central Nervous System Disorder Fibromyalgia & Michelle's treatments help make a massive positive difference to my day-to-day life…… I really cannot praise Michelle enough, her massage treatments and hip alignment help ease a lot of the physical troubles & pain my SW-CAH & fibro inflict on me daily. Also, Michelle has a very lovely & friendly personality & customer service, I would even go so far as to say it has a very clear & big positive effect on my mental health too. Michelle really tries every effort to go that extra mile for her customers and after 3/4 years of treatment there is no one I trust more...she'll focus her efforts on what you/your body needs and Michelle has never offered me a treatment I don't need or isn't helpful to my situation. Michelle will explain to me what the treatment does, why and what it should help me with. Michelle Callaghan is a true legend of her trade, and I owe her so much for giving me back as much of my health as possible in my serious situation with my very complicated conditions."

What I offer

I provide a full consultation and work with my clients to help their presenting problem on each visit – whether it be a foundational treatment to help with postural alignment or a clinical massage to help release chronic or acute pain. I offer aromatherapy oils for their healing and relaxing properties or reflexology for those who prefer that approach. I work with TMJ ( jaw release) for clients who are experiencing headaches, migraine and jaw related problems.


I work with an understanding of the body’s connective tissue, supporting mind and gut related issues to restore harmony and over all wellbeing, balance and mental clarity.


"Michelle was knowledgeable, professional and intuitive throughout the treatments as well as talking me through everything in detail. The treatments were very affective and relief was apparent after just 1 treatment alone. I will continue to go now and highly recommend her for a variety of issues. " Rebecca


"I've been to many different people about having a bad back and neck. A friend recommended me trying Michelle, which was the best thing I have done - it's the best my back and neck have ever been." Ady
