Not long after starting her massage career, Melissa realized how taxing this work was going to be on her body. That is when she was introduced to barefoot massage. She studied Thai Massage followed by Ashiatsu and in the spring of 2017 made the switch to only barefoot work. Melissa believes that in order to help a client’s full body, it only makes sense for her to use her full body.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Ron on Aug 07
I have been getting massage therapy from Melissa for over five years, starting after I had spinal surgery for severe sciatica. Melissa is very attentive to therapeutic needs of the present, and gives great advice on exercises to do to help my condition. I get 120 min sessions at least twice a month and they keep me going despite severe spinal stenosis.

I disliked nothing.

It was an incredible experience, from beginning to end. The commitment to excellence and Melissa's knowledge of the work she does was clearly evident in the treatment I received. Her calming spirit, the care she took to assure I was comfortable, and her flawless technique made it perfect in every way. Thank you.

I'm convinced Melissa has magic powers. I regularly show up, beat down by work, parenthood, and a crazy busy life - and she goes out of her way to make me feel welcomed and relaxed. I leave feeling refreshed, and considerably less stressed. I genuinely look forward to my time here, it's so peaceful - and becoming kind of sacred in my schedule. A++ experience every visit.

It was amazing! Melissa was very professional and did an outstanding job. It’s very evident she loves her job and has a passion for massage. No way my feet could do that!

She finds knots you don't know you had. This woman is an artist. You'll never go back to traditional massage.

Melissa is the best massage therapist I’ve ever had. She’s so intuitive and good at what she does.
