Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle Rozzen.
Hi Michelle, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My career started very young! It all started when I was a kid. My Dad used to ask me to massage his shoulders and paid me a dollar for every minute, and after 5 minutes I thought I was rich! When I was in high school and college I played water polo and I would massage my teammates. I really enjoyed helping them heal and recover. While I was in college I hurt my back and my Mom had a massage therapist come work on me during my summer break. I loved her so much! When I graduated from college I had the privilege of shadowing her. She taught me all about massage and the business, and I’m forever grateful for her guidance. It’s always great to have a mentor and teacher.
After I graduated from San Jose State University in 2005, my massage career started by working with NFL Players at training facilities. I traveled for five years on tour as the massage therapist for the International World Tour of Bodyboarding and the United States Bodyboarding Association. I’ve also provided massage therapy at surf contests, such as the MSA Classic and the ASP US Open of Surfing. I have nine years of experience providing detox massage therapy at drug and alcohol treatment centers and rehabilitative and restorative massage to the elderly, ALS and cancer patients. For over 3 years I have been a Booster and massage therapist for Team Challenge ALS, a basketball team involved in the TBT 2 million dollar summer basketball tournament. It’s more than basketball, it’s about raising awareness and funds to help find a cure for ALS.
I currently work for an elite clientele in the sports industry (NFL, NHL, MLB, MLS, NBA) and entertainment industry, including actors, artists, musicians, dancers, and performers. I’m very fortunate to work on some of the top Billboard artists and athletes worldwide!
I have offered more modalities in my practice over the years, including cupping, Graston and light stretching. I have recently started providing Endermologie and PEMF treatments.
I am based in Los Angeles and available for private house calls, spa parties, backstage & on-set, in studio, sporting & performance events, and traveling with and to clients locally and internationally.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
For the most part it’s been a smooth road and an amazing journey! I’ve been fortunate enough to have great clients and do something I love to do. Through my networking and reputation within this field my business has consistently grown over the years.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
The modalities I specialize in are: Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, Thai massage, sports massage, Lomi Lomi massage, CranioSacral therapy, prenatal/pregnancy massage, and therapeutic stretching. Additionally, I offer cupping, gua sha, and graston therapy. I use my Michelle Rozzen essential oil line. Recently, I started to provide Endermologie and PEMF treatments. With massage, I have developed a powerful and unique ability to listen to each body and its path for healing, re-balancing, and aligning.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
I live by the phrase, “Never Give Up.” I believe that you have to do what you love and live with purpose. Stay strong, eat healthy and practice what you preach. You got to put yourself out there, network and meet as many people as you can. Word of mouth is everything.
