Micaela Pelle BS, LMT

Micaela grew up in Livonia, MI graduating from Livonia Franklin High School. Starting her junior year of high school she knew she wanted to help people but didn't quite know how. She took Sport Medicine classes and Occupational Therapy classes throughout high school to learn more about each field. Although she played 4 years of soccer, she spent a lot of her time in the Athletic Training room. Micaela spent two years at Grand Valley State University studying Athletic Training, but then transferred home to Eastern Michigan University to study Exercise Science, in which she graduated with her Bachelor Degree in 2021. Graduating during COVID wasn’t ideal, and work was hard to find with having minimal field experience. So, Micaela found Irene’s Myomassology Institute and graduated from massage school with over 700 hours of training and hands on practice. She is an intuitive licensed massage therapist in the state of Michigan with aim to alleviate clients’ tension and pain. She is attentive, therapeutic, and judgement free; she provides a safe, comfortable, and clean space for all. She believes that adding stretching to the sessions can help enhance the massage therapy experience and significantly improve overall health by targeting the root cause of your muscular and connective tissue imbalances. With passion to help heal the body from within, she is a phenomenal addition to the Beyond Chiropractic team, and we are so proud to have her!
