The Silver Lightning Massage Story
Silver Lightning Massage was founded by Michael Schuver, a licensed massage therapist with more than two decades of experience in bodywork and energy healing. His journey into massage therapy began while working with Aveda, where he discovered a natural talent for hands-on wellness techniques and decided to pursue formal training in massage therapy.
Over the years, Michael expanded his work beyond traditional massage by studying additional modalities such as Reiki energy healing, myofascial release, and Esalen massage techniques. His practice evolved further after studying the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, a South American healing tradition that blends spiritual and physical wellness practices. Today, Silver Lightning Massage reflects this holistic approach to mind, body, and spiritual well-being.
