About Mikael

Mikael came to Santa Barbara in 2008 to run for the UCSB Track and Field team. His experience as a D1 athlete competing in the decathlon laid the groundwork for what it meant to be a healthy, functional athlete. Through his training at the university, and continuation of sport today, Mikael has learned the value of taking care of one's own body, which sparked an interest in a bodywork career. He received his Massage Therapy certification from the Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute in 2019. Since then, he has worked with the Santa Barbara Track Club Elite, as well as businesspeople and weekend warriors looking to step up their game, or simply improve their quality of life. With modalities ranging from Orthopedic and deep tissue massage, to Craniosacral and reflexology, Mikael has acquired a vast amount of tools to help you with achieving your fitness and lifestyle goals.
