Massage is not just a luxury.  I believe and understand how to implement the therapeutic benefits of massage for your body mind and spirit to find rest, relaxation and calm in this busy world.  Each massage is tailored to your individual needs.


I have worked in a variety of backgrounds in the massage field including spas, chiropractic office, wellness center, and hospice care. I work with clients that have all types of medical issues like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer, special needs children, and scoliosis.  My most recent privilege was giving a waiting heart transplant patient a massage. 

Since entering the massage field it has lead me down a path of a more holistic life style. I have become certified in natural health. I am interested in herbal supplements and the healing properties of essential oils.  I love gardening, growing herbs, cooking with herbs and just being out side.  You may also see me out riding my bike when the weather permits.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

I was having severe right shoulder pain and tingling in both hands. After first visit with Melanie all pain and tingling went away.

This is life changing for my Mother in Law! She is walking better and feels better than she has in months.

I’m always amazed with the healing power of a gentle touch from warm hands (and warm heart). It brings healing to physical and mental pains haunting me. Melanie has the healing hands that helped my shoulder and neck pains diminish within our session. I’ve been struggling with my shoulder & neck tightness/sharp pains for a year until yesterday. Thank you so much Ripple Effect for our MyoFascial release session yesterday. I feel GREAT and did not experience any pain last night for the first time in a looooong time 🎉

I can’t wait to see Melanie again. She immediately put me pay ease, and has already made a difference in how I feel with one session.

Not all superheroes wear caps!!! Melanie is the best masseuse I've had. This is coming from someone who was accustomed to getting massages 1x-2x a month.

Shared her great knowledge of this practice.

Melanie really knows how to help with any body pain. She gives me such a relief I wish that I could do it every day. I sleep better and my pain level is amazing low after the treatment. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thanks Melanie, Samantha Jackson
