The Crew
Who We Are
Michael Abramski
Owner/LMT
I am the Owner and Certified Massage Therapist, working along side some amazing massage therapists here at Eventide Massage LLC. I graduated form the Wellness Massage Center & Institute in St. Albans, VT, in November 2016. My massage sessions draw upon a variety of modalities such as Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, Swedish Massage, Shiatsu, Phenomenal Touch, to name a few. Meeting new people and helping others through massage brings me a good deal of joy! It would be a great privilege to meet with you and address the needs of your body, whether it be with Deep Tissue/Sports Massage, a relaxing Swedish Massage, or an integrated cupping session.
A little about me: I have lived most of my life in Vermont, enjoying the beautiful outdoors. After attending culinary arts school for four years, I enjoyed cooking professionally for fourteen years. However, I felt it was time to open a new chapter in my life, and decided to pursue a career in massage therapy. I am truly looking forward to my continued journey in this field!

Ian Myers
LMT
I was born, raised, and still live in Portland, Maine. I graduated from Spa Tech Institute in Westbrook Maine in January of 2023. I studied Therapeutic Massage during my time there, and my specialties include Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Techniques, and Myofascial Release. I am also studying more techniques in my spare time so that I can add to my repertoire to be able to help more clients. My philosophy when it comes to massage is helping my clients feel as relaxed as possible before, during and after a massage session. I got into Massage Therapy because I wanted to help others feel less stressed in today’s world, and Massage Therapy seemed like the way to do just that. During my off time, I like to read, write (I also have an associate degree in English from SMCC), and play video games. I also enjoy cooking and spending time with family and friends.
