Michelle Kingston, MA, LMT, LPC
Michelle received her certificate of massage training in 2000 from Ivy Tech State College in Indiana. She later returned to Ivy Tech to obtain an Associate of Applied Science in Medical Assisting--specializing in massage in 2004.
Michelle is passionate about helping people reach their goals and realize their own potential for healing. She was inspired to continue her education to further help her clients, and graduated in 2021 with a Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling from Lindenwood University, and in 2025 became a certified nursing assistant to explore the field of nursing. Her bodywork specialties include neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue, Swedish massage, aromatherapy, reflexology and ashiatsu, and she enjoys blending techniques suited for each person based on their needs and requests.
Originally, Michelle is from Biloxi, Mississippi where her family was stationed in the Air Force. She’s lived mostly in southern and midwestern states and currently resides in O'Fallon, IL. She enjoys spending time with family and friends and outdoor activities.
