Michelle Roots Massage Therapist

Highly recommend a booking with Michelle! I was able to book with her last minute. Warm, intuitive and professional, her massage felt like an invitation for my body to heal from recent illnesses and the postpartum period. She kept my body warm with hot stones and used various techniques. The space was peaceful, welcoming and clean- I felt completely transported away into a deep, nourishing rest. Just what every mama needs!

I love going to Michelle for treatments. She makes the whole experience so warm and relaxing and will really tailor to your aches and pains. I try and go at least once a month. Before I had real back and joint pain from work and now I rarely have any. Also recently gotten pregnant and she is wonderful at making you comfy and sorting out any aches you have and just letting you relax whilst really taking care of you and your bump. I highly recommend her to anyone :D

I've been to many different massage places in Edinburgh but Michelle is by far the best!I can highly recommend her!

I don’t know if she remembers, but I was one of her earliest clients, and she was my life saver. She is such an incredible person and I always felt so much more empowered and strong after seeing her.I truly recommend seeing her and getting help for both your body and spirit/mind.

Michelle is absolutely brilliant at what she does - and completely affordable too. I went to her several times in my pregnancy for a two hour massage (for 60 pounds max - she charges depending on income). She welcomed me with tea and fruit and let me choose what oil I liked best. She asked questions and then designed a massage to help with what was happening that week. The consultation isn't part of the two hours either, so you actually get 2 hours of massage rather than the usual salon trick of including the consultation time within the hour so you only get 45 mins of actual massage. Get yourself booked in!

Michelle was a god send during my pregnancy. I genuinely don’t know how I could have gotten through the last weeks of pregnancy without her. She helped me cope with so much pain and discomfort, and also helped massively when I was over due.She is very intuitive and knows exactly what areas need the most work, and has a very gentle but firm touch. She is lovely, kind and compassionate and really takes her time with each session, never making you feel rushed which adds to the overall comfort and healing of the experience. I am so grateful to have found her and would not go to anyone else.

Michelle made me feel at ease instantly with spiced tea and fresh fruit on arrival. Then the chance to smell all the massage oils, allowing me to select my favourite. Michelle listened very carefully to my complaints and designed a massage to address my personal aches and pains. Throughout my consultation and massage I felt welcomed and calm. I left with my muscles feeling renewed and my mind feeling relaxed. I would recommend Michelle Roots to anyone looking for a quality massage in Edinburgh.

Such a great massage. I have had several with Michelle both when pregnant and after giving birth. She is great at finding out what you need and how she can help you. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Could not recommend her more.

I received an Indian Head Massage from Michelle, and I couldn't have been happier. She takes time to understand patients' needs to accomodate them. She listened very carefully and I felt heard and respected, which has not been the case in the past with other practicioners. She helped me relieve bad tensions I had in the neck and shoulders, leading to migraines. I feel highly grateful that I've met Michelle, and I will be happy to receive treatments from her again in the future. Cheers Michelle
