About Us

Welcome to Butter Massage & Spa

At Butter Massage & Spa in Kirkland, WA, self-care is redefined as both therapeutic and indulgent. Founded and owned by Michelle, a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), the spa was born out of her passion for creating a space that delivers an unparalleled level of quality. After gaining expertise as an LMT and recognizing the need for a truly exceptional spa experience in the area, Michelle set out to build a sanctuary where personalized care meets relaxation.

Why “Butter”? The name was inspired by Michelle’s triple butter massage oil blend made with organic shea, cocoa, and mango butters. This formula was crafted to deliver deeply hydrating treatments that leave skin feeling buttery soft. We also have allergy free massage oil options for those with sensitivities.

Our focus is on providing a wide range of relaxing and therapeutic massage services including specialties like Intraoral and soon to come Manual Lymphatic Drainage. We offer many types of body treatments such as slimming mud wraps and luxury salt scrubs to leave your skin radiant and healthy. You can also hop into our detoxifying and therapeutic Far Infrared Sauna or take advantage of our professional grade LED Light Therapy for pain management, anti-aging and acne treatments.

We proudly celebrate small-batch, woman-owned brands made in the U.S., with many sourced locally from Washington State. Our curated collection features luxury skincare, bath, body, and home products. Driven by a commitment to well-being, a portion of every sale is donated to NAMI and AFSP, ensuring that each visit makes a meaningful impact.

Michelle

Licensed Massage Therapist/Owner

Treatment Philosophy: Michelle believes massage therapy is more than just relief from aches and tension – it’s a way to reconnect with their body and restore balance. She is convinced that stress, pain, and past experiences manifest physically and through intentional, personalized care, she can help clients release what no longer serves them. Depending on what each client is looking for, she can provide a therapeutic massage to promote relaxation as well as a more specific approach to reduce discomfort. Each massage session will be customized to meet your specific needs.

Specialties Include: Myofascial release, trigger point therapy, Swedish techniques, deep tissue, cupping therapy and Intraoral massage. Certified in Intraoral massage, Thai Yoga massage and Medical Cupping.

Sakura is a Licensed Massage Therapist with many years of experience and a unique background in both nursing and computer science. Her in-depth understanding of the human body, combined with an analytical and intuitive approach, allows her to perform detailed assessments and create personalized, results-oriented treatment plans tailored to each client’s needs. She recently competed in the Washington State Massage Championship, an experience that deepened her skills and reinforced her commitment to continuous growth as a therapist.

Sakura incorporates a wide range of techniques into her sessions, including deep tissue massage to target chronic tension, myofascial release to improve mobility by addressing fascial restrictions, and trigger point therapy to relieve pain caused by muscle knots. She also integrates assisted stretching to enhance flexibility and range of motion, compression techniques to stimulate circulation and lymphatic flow, and gua sha—a traditional method involving gentle scraping of the skin—to release stagnant energy, promote healing, and support detoxification. Her thoughtful, informed approach helps clients achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in their overall wellness.
