Hello, I am Melissa! I am passionate about helping others create a healthy balance in their lives by relieving any pain and stress while being a positive addition to their self care. I strongly believe in massage as a viable modality for enhancing overall health and well being.
My work would be described as deep orthopedic massage with an individualized approach to the body. I like to focus on specific clinical conditions while being detailed to the area I am working on with a goal to relieve tight muscles from every day use or injuries from over use.
Over my 14 years of massaging I have taken several hours of continuing education and I am constantly learning. I specialize in many modalities of massage such as Deep Tissue, Orthopedic, Sports, Oncology, Trigger Point, Therapeutic and Swedish. I like to use my forearms, elbows and knuckle stripping techniques to go deep into the muscles to release tension and stiffness. I see many clients for sciatica and low back pain and have helped extensively to alleviate pain in these areas. I am knowledgeable in whiplash and forehead head posture aka "tech neck" and have many different techniques to help reduce pain and improve mobility. I incorporate stretching techniques into my massages to create more range of motion in joints, increase circulation, reduce inflammation and relieve muscle tension. I as well have a soft touch for those needing a more relaxing and comforting massage whether it be for medical reasons or just looking to relax.
