Owner and operator
Michelle Odom, LMT
Michelle graduated from Medical Training College in 1999 with a certification in Massage Therapy and became a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2000. Over twenty-five years she has worked with a wide range of clients, specializing in Relaxation, Aromatherapy, Deep Tissue, Deep Flush, and Rehabilitation massage.
She works with the specific needs of each client to relieve stress and pain — whether that's from daily activity, a soft tissue injury, or simply years of wear. High stress, neck and back pain, pain from injury or illness: these are the things she sees every week.
MDO Massage Therapy is a solo practice on Bluff Road in Prairieville, serving clients from Baton Rouge, Prairieville, and Dutchtown. There is no front desk and no rotation of therapists. You see Michelle, every time.
Establishment #E3601 · Licensed in Louisiana since 2000
Modalities she works in
Deep tissue
Slow, firm work into the layers underneath — for chronic tension and knots that surface work won't reach.
Rehabilitation
Recovery work for soft tissue injuries, restricted range of motion, and pain that lingers after healing.
Deep flush
Long flushing strokes to move fluid and clear out fatigue — a favorite after heavy physical weeks.
Aromatherapy
Essential oils chosen for the session. Lavender is the house standby, and there are alternatives for sensitivities.
Reflexology
Focused pressure point work on the feet, often paired with a relaxation session.
Relaxation
Gentler, steady, full-body. For stress more than for injury, and no less useful for it.
Most sessions blend more than one of these, and combining them does not change what you pay. There are no add-on charges here — the price is set by the length of your session, not by which techniques it takes to treat you. All Michelle asks is a conversation beforehand, so she can personalize the work to what you need. Give her a call at (225) 380-3737 and talk it through — describe what you're hoping for, and she will tell you what she recommends.
