Therapists – Main Street Massage of Northville

Main Street Massage of Northville, LLC

Joelle Raffoul, LMT

I have always had the desire to help others in a way that can improve their long-term health and wellness. In 2012, I had the wonderful opportunity to begin the massage therapy program at Irene’s myomassology institute. Throughout the program, I not only learned how to give a massage, but I learned about the anatomy and health behind massage therapy. After a year of learning a plethora of information this program helped me strengthen my knowledge about the importance of massage and how it can positively impact someone’s life, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I specialize in sports therapy, massage, prenatal, massage, hot stone, massage, Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, cupping therapy, lymphatic drainage, and TMJ disorders I recently took continuing education classes and got certified for TMJ disorders and medical massage therapy! I absolutely love learning and applying all of my various techniques on each client I meet! I graduated in the fall of 2013 and passing massage therapy board exam. Becoming a licensed massage therapist with the best decision I have ever made because I’ve always had a strong passion for healing my clients and making them feel like brand new person! I have been practicing massage for 12 years now I am looking forward to continue improving overall health of both my current patients as well as my future patients! I look forward to meeting you!
