Michele Belcher is the founder of Kids ‘n Touch, an organization dedicated to delivering compassionate and healing touch to children and educating others of how vital healthy, positive and respectful touch is for children in today's society. Michele has always had a natural connection with children. In 2013, Michele was inspired by the work of the Liddle Kidz Foundation and quickly connected with this organization to complete her pediatric massage certification. Her aspiration is to provide nurturing touch for children who have special physical or emotional needs, bringing both healing and joy to these children as well as their families and caregivers. She also desires to teach children about the power of positive touch in an effort to help them build trusting and respectful relationships with one another.

 

Kids 'n Touch is a contracted provider with Imagine! Currently, Michele provides services to families in Arvada, Golden, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Broomfield, Boulder, Superior, Lafayette and Louisville, Colorado.  

 

In addition to her private practice, Michele is currently participating in a research study at Children's Hospital of Colorado teaching parents infant massage techniques they can use while their child is in the hospital and at home after discharge. Michele has been a board certified massage therapist since 2001 (NCBTMB). She is certified in pediatric massage, infant massage instruction, prenatal massage, deep tissue and neuromuscular therapy. For six years, she successfully managed her own massage therapy private practice focusing primarily on prenatal massage and infant massage instruction. She also provided massage for parents and healthcare providers at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

 

Before starting her own private practice, Michele worked at The Pregnancy Massage Center in Atlanta, Georgia as a prenatal massage specialist, labor and delivery assistant and infant massage instructor. She was also an educator at Northside Hospital, the largest obstetric hospital in the United States teaching both prenatal massage and infant massage instruction. 

 

Michele maintains a high level of professional values including an unwavering commitment to quality, honesty, confidentiality and personal integrity - attributes that her clients have valued over the years. 

 

Michele lives in Arvada, Colorado with her sweet, supportive hubby, two very silly boys and an overly affectionate puppy.
