Director of Rhythm Massage Development, Michelle Vassallo, studied her Diploma of Remedial Massage at Victoria University, graduating valedictorian of her year. She came to massage as a career change and quickly found her place, not only treating clients in her own clinic, but also as an educator of various remedial subjects at Victoria University.

She specializes in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), self care for massage therapists and research literacy. 

She also delivers seminars as a guest lecturer for AAMT, AMT, Complementary Health Seminars and recently RMIT. She has been a presenter at the national conferences of both AAMT and AMT (2007), was on the committee for the AAMT conference (2008) in Adelaide and will be presenting for AMT at their national conference in Melbourne as part of a research summit team. 

Michelle has had her article “It will never happen to me...” published in the AAMT National journal in 2008, and has released an instructional DVD in MLD for massage therapists through Complementary Health Seminars.
