Massage Therapy with Melissa

You Are a Priority, live like it’s true.

Massage therapy is an amazing tool that can help you feel more connected to your body, bring healing to injuries, find motion back where things are stuck, and remind your body how to relax and release stress. 

With over 2 decades of experience in massage therapy, including time spent in spas, gyms, numerous chiropractic offices, and even a hair salon, Melissa has extensive knowledge of how bodies function and an ability to intuitively connect to her clients to hear from their body what they need and how she can support them. 

Melissa is skilled in injury treatment and deep tissue massage, sports, and swedish massage and combines them with craniosacral to tune into what the body wants to communicate and reassure the nervous system that healing is safe and accessible.

Craniosacral Massage

Craniosacral massage is light touch work that has a big impact with benefits that include: reduction in pain, a decrease of digestive troubles, settling of mood shifts, stress, tension, and fight/flight tendencies. CSM can improve connection, healing, nervous system reactivity, and more.

If you’re used to deep tissue massage, craniosacral massage can feel like there’s nothing happening, but it’s quite the opposite. Slowing down, tuning in, and letting your nervous system and body experience relaxation and rest.

Benefits of Massage

Melissa’s clients come to her for support with disconnect from body, TMJ/jaw issues, headaches, neck pain, overstimulated or dysregulated nervous system, stress management, and to remind their body of how it feels to rest, access it again. Others seek massage from Melissa out of curiosity or because they’re sensitive to deep tissue or heavy-touch massage.

Hi, I’m 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.
