About Us
Hello and Welcome!With 20 years of bodywork experience right here in ATX, allow me to show you what an exceptional massage is. Each session is customized to address your specific body issues and what you are wanting from the massage. My approach is to gradually release layers of dense tissue using a variety of techniques including swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial release and stretching. It is not uncommon for me to add aromatherapy and hot stones or towels to deepen your allowance of the bodywork. I'm looking forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your healthcare goals.
Melanie Talbert, LMT

There is a reason Melanie is booked out for weeks. She is by far the best deep tissue therapist that I have been too.
No one else has gone deep enough to work out the base knots prior, superficial knots, but not the deep ones like Melanie gets to.
She is a joy to be around and you can fall asleep on the table. She is very knowledgeable about the body and is too sweet to agree that you do indeed have troll feet, lol.
I definitely recommend her to anyone, if you have a hard time making time to do things for yourself, I promise this is the one thing that you should make time to do.
A huge shout out to Dr. Hausman for being connected to such a gem.

I have had many massages over the many years of my life and this one, my first with Melanie, raised the bar. She works beautifully and harmoniously in a mindful way with great attention to the body. The style at least from my perspective was Swedish and deep tissue combined. I am not a small person and she worked very deep. Melanie is very skilled.
