Grateful Life Wellness and Relaxation Center has been created with your best interests at heart. I am a local massage therapist in Des Moines, and have been practicing since 2004. I believe that our bodies are meant to heal themselves, but sometimes we need support and guidance. When we are stressed, our body holds that stress in the muscles, joints, and organs. That causes extra work for those parts of the body, and then walls are built to protect ourselves, figuratively and physically. It is my goal to help break through those walls gently to allow your body to relax so that it has optimal function, and to help promote healing to your highest good. I use relaxing techniques to work out tension in the muscles, as well as deep tissue when needed. I also practice, Acupressure, Reflexolog... more

Melodie did an amazing job and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!
I love Melodie and her massages. She is professional, thorough and talented.
Always love that Melodie cares for you as a whole person!
Melodies was polite, understanding, and checked in with me - especially on my left arm where I had an injury earlier this year. Her peaceful demeanor was so nice!
I recently had a 2 hour massage with Melodie. I was very relaxed and left feeling great. I’ll definitely be back.
So relaxing! Melodie gives amazing prenatal massages and is very knowledgeable.
Always a nice relaxing atmosphere. Gives the best massages!
Melodie took the time to discuss any concerns I had and to understand my path to better health. From that she suggested a session that worked together wonderfully for my goals! Would highly recommend her to anyone interested in giving themselves some downtime for healing, or just get into an amazing state of relaxation!
Very professional, knowledgable, and very good at what she does! She has helped so much with my chronic pain and migraines! I've seen a lot of massage therapist over the years but melody is by far the best, a true healer!

Melodie has amazing energy. She is so positive and soothing. Reiki is one of the most valuable things I do for myself and I am so happy to have been blessed with Melodie as my guide. Not sure if guide is the best word but that is what she does and my life path has become clearer since seeing her. Thank you Melodie!
