Aloha!  My name is Melody.  I am a professional massage therapist and I am glad that you found my website.  I want to help you feel better.  Whether you have chronic physical pain, or are worn out from working hard day after day, or just need a break.... maybe there is just too much stress, anxiety, exhaustion, or depression.   Both physical and mental/ emotional stress take huge tolls on our bodies, especially when endured for long periods of time.  I understand these things well, and this is one of the reasons I decided to become a massage therapist.  In Hawaiian, Hoʻōla means "healing".  I chose this name for my business because this is what I want.... to help people heal, both inside and out.  Massage is so beneficial for both the body and the mind.  I try to adapt my massage specifically to each person's needs, but I feel everyone who comes in, even those who want the deepest pressure,  will still leave relaxed.     

I learned Ashiatsu shortly after getting licensed in 2019.  With Ashiatsu,  I use my feet to give the massage.  Ashiatsu enables me to use my body weight to give a deeper pressure (if desired by the client), but because my foot disperses my weight evenly, the massage is not painful as some other deep tissue massages can be.  The long slow glides really lengthen the muscles and leave you feeling incredibly relaxed.  Of course if you prefer a "regular" hands on massage,  I can do that as well!  I would love for you to come in and let me help you heal!
