Melanie is like a Jedi Master with magic healing powers. She is incredibly professional, respectful, kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Melanie is simply amazing and I always feel rejuvenated, relaxed, and healthier after a session. I can't reccomend her too strongly.

Not to hesitate and book a session. My monthly massages contribute greatly to my health and wellbeing. I greatly appreciate having Incompass Welbeing in my hometown.
by Jessica on Feb 09
My massage was a wonderful experience. Melanie was able to fit me in when I was in unexpected discomfort and worked magic! The space puts you right at ease and the massage did not leave me needlessly sore after while still being relaxing and very effective at relieving my pain. I will definitely be back in the near future.

Magical Melanie - so talented and knowledgeable and caring.

My two hour massage with Melanie was the best I have ever received despite growing up next to the Finger Lakes School of Massage. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
