Ann Arbor's Premier Destination
for Massage Therapy.

Massage therapy is healthcare—but when practiced without licensure, it can become something else entirely. Recent public revelations have underscored the devastating consequences of unlicensed individuals operating under the false premise of “massage,” contributing to exploitation and abuse. Licensure is more than a credential—it is a safeguard for public safety, professional accountability, and the protection of vulnerable populations, including children. In this article, we explore why verifying licensure and insurance is one of the most important steps you can take when seeking massage or bodywork.

As Bodhi Work celebrates five years of serving the Ann Arbor community, we reflect on how a one-room practice grew into a trusted destination for Ann Arbor massage therapy, therapeutic massage, Thai Massage/Assisted Stretch, Lymphatic Drainage, and prenatal massage. What began as a solo venture rooted in intention and skill has evolved into a diverse team of highly trained LMTs, each offering advanced, evidence-informed bodywork with heart. Our mission remains the same: to help every client Rest, Restore, and Renew through consistent, meaningful, and personalized care.
