The Massagerie is a veteran-owned, women-owned, and LGBTQ+-owned clinical massage therapy practice in San Diego's Normal Heights neighborhood, founded in 2022 by Michelle Morris at 3139 Adams Ave in the 92116 ZIP. Morris began her massage training in 2010 at Cortiva Institute in Seattle, building a foundation in Western-based soft-tissue technique, then expanded into Eastern bodywork at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego from 2013 to 2014, where she earned an Applied Associate's Degree in Holistic Health Science. The practice specializes in customized clinical massage that draws from deep tissue therapy, sports and stretching techniques, lymphatic drainage, and myofascial release, with additional training in injury rehabilitation, prenatal, and oncology massage. Oncology-trained massage therapists modify pressure, positioning, and session duration based on a patient's treatment stage, and Morris's certification in this modality allows the practice to serve clients navigating cancer care—a clinical depth that connects to the therapeutic counseling work at Transcend Behavioral Health for clients managing the emotional dimensions of a medical diagnosis. The Adams Avenue corridor through Normal Heights hosts both the Adams Avenue Street Fair each fall and the Adams Avenue Unplugged acoustic festival in spring, drawing foot traffic past the studio during two of the neighborhood's highest-attendance events. Self-care routines that combine therapeutic massage with hair and grooming appointments run efficiently along Adams Avenue, where Urban Roots Community Salon & Boutique operates within walking distance of the studio. The practice identifies as a transgender safespace with a gender-neutral restroom, and Morris's veteran status reflects a military-to-clinical career path that informs her understanding of physical rehabilitation and chronic-pain management. Appointments are required, and sessions run Tuesday through Thursday and on weekends, with evening availability through the weekday schedule.
