Meet the Owner and Founder

Founder;Michelle whitney

Mainline Therapeutic Massage & Spa opened in 1997. Michelle studied at Massage Arts and Sciences and graduated at the top of her class. Her love of this artful holistic medicine drew her to continue studying. She educated herself in deep tissue, swedish, myofascial release, neuromusclar tissue, reflexology, pre and post natal, viseral, cranial, lymph drainage, and thai-yoga massage. Michelle also trained with the American Guild of Hypnotist and became certified in 2005. It was her greatest joy to give a healthier, freer, happier life to so many people, improving their overall quality of life.

OWNER; JESSICA HAWTHORNE Unfortunately, we lost Michelle in February 2021. Her presence is greatly missed. This business was her passion and life’s work, so it is with great honor that I, her oldest daughter, carry the torch and continue to give back to the community.

Upon my mother’s suggestion, I also studied at Massage Arts & Sciences at the young age of 19. I worked alongside my mother and helped her build this business into what it is today. I am trained in many of the same modalities and continue to train through continuing education courses. I am also a middle school Art & Humanities teacher. It is my intention to bring my classroom experience and expertise in working with adolescents onto the premises in the future.

Our primary goal here at Main Line Therapeutic is to promote mindfulness and an overall improved sense of well being to help you manage and maintain a more whole hearted, peaceful lifestyle.
