Just had my second massage from Melissa and she is top notch in her work. Wonderful deep tissue body work which gives me just what I needed. Thank you Melissa.

To say Melissa is a skilled massage therapist is an understatement! Her skill is in the deep knowing, understanding, and presence she exudes as a human being and a therapist. Melissa shares pertinent information while understanding her patient’s vulnerabilities and issues. I feel rejuvenated and distilled by having her massage!

Melissa is incredibly intuitive and compassionate. She was very present for my entire session from the moment I walked into her room. She really focused in on what my needs were and also gave me tips for ways I could care for myself to stay feeling my best and continue on my journey of healing, Her massage work was absolutely amazing and left me feeling relaxed, at peace and so much better. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants body work that is above and beyond just a massage.
