Next Level Pain Relief
The Skills You Didn’t Know You Were Missing—Until Now.
Join me for Next Level Pain Relief Level 1. It's an immersive two-day workshop designed to elevate your skills and empower you to deliver effective, client-centered pain relief. This class teaches you to perform simple techniques on a table AND mat to help clients out of chronic upper back and neck pain or low back and hip pain.
This course is for you if...

Michelle creates an all round fabulous learning environment. She provides clear instruction of performing the movements while encouraging your own style of work in the process. Her training space is welcoming and clean. I feel I can reach out to Michelle at anytime for any questions. I am looking forward to taking the next levels as soon as they are available.
Maggie, RMT
This was a great course. The pace was good and Michelle’s teaching style is fun and thorough. The practical learning was impactful as it was clear from the start how effective these techniques are. I am looking forward to the next one!
Courtney, RMT
I learned so much from this course! I am new in this career and having this experience has made me more confident, and even more excited to help my clients. Thank you for the opportunity to learn from you!
Sonia, RMT
I've done Thai massage before, so mat work itself wasn't brand new...but [the] approach of NLPR felt different. I appreciated not being given a million techniques. I liked how foundational and applicable it was.

Hey, I'm Michelle!
I’ve been a massage therapist since 2010, and for a while there, I thought I was going to have to break up with my career. Chronic shoulder tendonitis and low back pain were making every workday feel like a countdown to burnout.
Then I found Next Level Pain Relief™, the work of Robert Gardner, and everything changed. I learned how to work smarter (not harder), ditched the pain, and actually started enjoying my job again. Wild concept, right?
This approach doesn’t just save your body—it seriously helps people in pain. NLPR is packed with techniques that are simple, effective, and shockingly good at getting real results (like, wow-my-client-is-stunned kind of results).
Now, I teach it because I believe you shouldn’t have to wreck your own body just to help someone else feel better. If you're ready to feel good at the end of your workday and help your clients get the pain relief they've been searching for—this class is for you.
