Knead a Back in Oakland, MI

Callie Knead a Back

Meet Callie.

Hi, my name is Callie, and I have been practicing the healing arts for more than 18 years. I became a massage therapist and energy facilitator after studying at Irene’s Myomassology Institute in 2007, and I founded Knead a Back in 2008 with the vision of creating a place that functions like urgent care for massage — offering timely relief with a deeper, longer-lasting impact.

At Knead a Back, I offer a transformative massage therapy experience that blends traditional massage techniques with energy facilitation. As a Michigan licensed massage therapist and relaxation specialist, I welcome clients into a serene home setting in Oakland, Michigan, where the focus is on the mind-body connection.

My work is deeply therapeutic. Through skilled, intuitive touch, I help unravel physical pain, release tension, and explore the deeper messages the body may be holding. I also bring an objective and practical point of view that often helps clients see their challenges more clearly. Through thoughtful guidance, education, and fresh perspective, I support clients in gaining a better understanding of their health, their bodies, and their overall well-being.

Knead a Back is more than a massage therapy session. It is a holistic experience designed to nurture the body, calm the mind, and guide clients toward self-discovery, healing, and profound relaxation.


My Approach

I bring my studies in energy healing, metaphysical, spiritual, self-awareness practices, meditation, numerology, astrology, and sound into my soul-coaching practice. I enjoy sharing techniques to empower you when your body is hurting, and your mind is stuck in outdated beliefs that no longer serve your higher self.

I understand that illness and pain in the body are messengers to unresolved emotional issues that the body has not yet processed. I offer helpful resources and tools for you to explore the possible root cause that will help you understand and become aware of your own mental patterns of outdated beliefs that contribute to your pain body.

The body, mind, and soul are a complete unit that needs to be in balance to function at 100%, and I can help you get there.

You don’t get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.

Booking with Me

I keep my appointment book open for people who wake up with a stiff neck or a sore back. You can’t plan when pain will show up in the body. There is nothing worse than calling around and being told they have nothing available for a few weeks. Every session is tailored to your specific problem areas. You will never receive a basic massage here.

I don’t charge extra for add on items like Essential Oils, Hot Rocks, Himalayan Salt Stones, Tuning Forks, Hot Towels, Cupping, CBD Pain Cream, Stretching, TMJ or Abdominal Therapy.
