massage
Massage with Melissa.
Therapeutic massage to ease pain, recover from injury and remind your body how to rest, from a therapist with more than two decades of hands-on experience.
styles
Matched to what your body needs.
Deep tissue and injury work
Focused work for injuries, chronic tension and areas that feel stuck.
Sports and Swedish
Recovery from training, or simply a body that needs to let go.
Craniosacral
Light-touch work for the nervous system. If you’re used to deep tissue, it can feel like nothing’s happening. It’s the opposite: slowing down lets your body settle, and it can prepare it for deeper work.

People come to Melissa for...
Jaw and TMJ tension · headaches · neck and shoulder pain · an overloaded nervous system and stress · injury recovery · sensitivity to deep pressure · feeling disconnected from their body

Meet Melissa.
My years as a Massage Therapist and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner have given me valuable insight into common patterns of dysfunction with food and our bodies, plus intuitive ways of hearing what the body is trying to communicate.
I help my clients connect to their bodies with therapeutic touch and inquiry, giving them the confidence to move their bodies, care for themselves and invite healing in.
I'm a mother and wife, lover of the outdoors who relishes waking up in the woods and can't stop staring at the sky, a light gardener, an avid reader, a rock collector, and I continue to grow as a cook. A diagnosis of celiac disease shook things up for me in 2016, and now I aim to use what I've learned while accepting and managing life with an autoimmune disease, to help others.
