Atlas Therapeutic Massage

Hello, my name is Melisa.  I am the owner and licensed massage therapist within the vibrant neighborhood of Kennewick Washington.  For a few insightful years, I have been involved in the massage industry gaining experience within a spa and chiropractic office and now branched out on my own, running my business. 

Like most practitioner’s my story starts out with family and friends asking me to massage them just about every time I walked into the room.  After graduating high school, God called me to a small town in Texas called Buchanan Dam.  A short time after I moved, I met my former partner that is a quadriplegic.  Daily he would experience muscle spasm’s strong enough to throw him out of his chair, along with muscle hypertension and pain.  As time passed, I would notice how massaging him helped alleviate the tension and pain that he felt. By just massaging him I was astonished by the relief he would feel.  Knowing I've always wanted to help people and was fascinated with the human body, I started to fall in love with massage therapy and knew that this is what I wanted to do. 

I have attended two schools. The U.S. Career Institute and Victoria's Academy of Cosmetology finishing with 1,245 hours of school and hands-on experience.  As a body worker, I am able to develop a customized session that deals with your health and lifestyle concerns.  I offer a therapeutic approach to massage using Swedish massage, deep tissue, cupping, trigger point, acupressure, sinus drainage, restorative and rehabilitative sports massage, hot stone and IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization).  With options of using aromatherapy or CBD hemp oil treatment.  I am a firm believer in the science and holistic properties of what essential oils and hemp oil can bring.

My clients have told me that they call me exclusively for a number of reasons.  The most prominent reason being that they see results, not only immediately, but an overall increased sense in their well-being.  My promise to myself and to my clients is to constantly try to find different added ways that can help move you towards recovery.  Whether it be a nice relaxing massage get away from life stress's or getting those knotty knots out. With a big passion and love for what I do, I welcome you to my practice and would be delighted to assist you in your holistic health journey.
