Meet Melanie
Hi, I’m glad you’re here! I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for almost two decades, including certification in reflexology and Reiki teacher training. I’ve worked extensively as part of a team within multiple chiropractor and physical therapy integrated health centers over the years, taken numerous continuing education classes, worked with Ballet dancers, and been a teaching assistant at the Cortiva Institute. I also currently teach multiple Reiki class offerings.
I love tailoring my work to meet and exceed my clients’ expectations and goals with clear and concise communication, effective treatment plans and time management, techniques that are both relaxing and therapeutic, and client education.
“That was the best massage I’ve ever received” is feedback I constantly hear from my clients who come to me for pain and tension relief, managing symptoms from a variety of health conditions, pre and post-surgical care, workout soreness, and relaxation / stress relief.
Your health and wellness goals are my goals in every session. I’m also passionate about continuing to learn and incorporate new modalities and techniques into my repertoire targeted to help my clients feel better.
I believe that our bodies are able to heal themselves more quickly when given the right information, and finding what works for you is key to unlocking your body’s potential for feeling better sooner. From the many activities we love - be it bicycling, skiing, hiking, gardening, and picking up children & grandchildren, my services provides lasting benefits to prevent injures and muscle strain.
“Maybe this pain will go away on it’s own” is the biggest myth we tell ourselves when something unforeseen comes up. Pain is a sign that something is wrong and is your body’s cry for help, so don’t ignore it, schedule your appointment with me today!
