Michele Jordan's massage therapy practice In Hillsboro, Oregon was founded by her in 2005.
Michele was already an experienced masseuse at that time but she had a vision of creating a new massage experience that would help heal body, mind, and spirit and so she started her new practice, in conjunction with Dr. John T. Checkal, Chiropractic physian, at the current location behind the Court House in Hillsboro.
