Healing by intuitive touch
​
Are you seeking a deeper experience from bodywork?
Stress, grief, and trauma can often manifest as
physical tension, chronic pain and disease.
Unlike traditional massage, my approach focuses on creating balance within your nervous system, softly bringing you into a deeper level of awareness so that you can restore your sense of embodied presence and begin rebuilding a more resilient way to move through the world.
Are you ready?
Good.
“Melissa is the most gifted bodyworker I have ever worked with....She has helped me recover from frozen shoulder syndrome, facilitated my healing from numerous desk-job related injuries, and even helped my body process and release deep trauma. Her work is physical, emotional and energetic. Whenever I’m on her table I feel seen, accepted and deeply supported...."

About Melissa
Experiencing and overcoming long-term chronic pain was the initial spark that led me to the work I do today. For well over a decade, I have focused on healing, releasing trauma, and building resilience in my emotional, spiritual, and physical body. This ongoing process continues to shape every element of my bodywork practice.
​
In 2016 I completed a Healing Arts program and became a Certified Massage Therapist. I have been practicing here in Santa Rosa, California ever since. I have studied and continue to study multiple modalities and courses to deepen the connection and experience with each of my clients. Along side the standards of Swedish, and Deep Tissue, I have pursued further education in Active Release Technique®, The Matrix of Healing, Myofascial Release, Cupping, and Breathwork.
I am native to the Bay Area, but moved to Sonoma County in 2015. I cannot fathom living anywhere else. I love cooking, eating, kayaking, camping with my husband and our kiddo, and serving my community.
