About Melanie

Hi, I’m glad you’re here! I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for almost two decades, including certification in reflexology and Reiki teacher training. I’ve taken numerous continuing education classes, worked with dancers at the Pacific Northwest Ballet, been a teaching assistant at the Cortiva Institute, and have taught continuing education classes. 

I love tailoring my work to meet and exceed my clients’ expectations and goals with clear and concise communication, effective treatment plans and time management, techniques that are both relaxing and therapeutic, and client education. 

“That was the best massage I’ve ever received” is feedback I constantly hear from my clients who come to me for pain and tension relief, managing symptoms from a variety of health conditions, pre and post-surgical care, workout soreness, and relaxation / stress relief. 

Your health and wellness goals are my goals, and if I’m not able to help you with the techniques in my toolkit, I’ll refer you to someone who I think will be able to help you. I’m also passionate about continuing to learn and incorporate new modalities and techniques into my repertoire targeted to help my clients feel better. 

I believe that our bodies are able to heal themselves more quickly when given the right information, and finding what works for you is key to unlocking your body’s potential for feeling better sooner. 

“Maybe this pain will go away on it’s own” is the biggest myth we tell ourselves when something unforeseen comes up. Pain is a sign that something is wrong and is your body’s cry for help, so don’t ignore it, schedule your appointment with me today!
