Like most
practitioner’s my story starts out with family and friends asking me to massage
them every time I walked into the room.I was the only one that could last for more than 5 minutes.After graduating high school, God called me
to a small town called Buchanan Dam Texas.A short time after I moved, I met my former partner that is a
quadriplegic.(A person affected by
paralysis of all four limbs.)Daily he
would experience muscle spasm’s strong enough to throw him out of his chair,
along with muscle hypertension and pain.As
time passed I would notice how massaging him helped alleviate the tension and
pain that he felt. By just massaging him I was astonished by the relief he
would feel. Knowing I've always wanted to help people and was fascinated with the human body, I fell in love with
massage therapy and knew that this is what I wanted to do.
I have been to two schools. The U.S. Career
Institute and Victoria's Academy of Cosmetology finishing with 1,245 hours of
school and hands-on experience.As a
body worker, I am able to develop a customized session that deals with your
health and lifestyle concerns.I offer a
therapeutic approach to massage using Swedish massage, deep tissue, cupping,
trigger point, acupressure, sinus drainage, restorative and rehabilitative
sports massage, hot stone and IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization).With options of using
aromatherapy or CBD hemp oil treatment.I am a firm
believer in the science and holistic properties of what essential oils and hemp
oil can bring.So, I became a Doterra
Wellness Advocate for my essential oils and CBD Clinic for my hemp oil.In the future, I also plan to study and offer kinesiology taping, an extended study into sports massage
and orthopedic massage
My clients have told me that they call me
exclusively for a number of reasons.The
most prominent reason being that they see results, not only immediately, but an
overall increased sense in their well being.My promise to myself and to my clients is to constantly try to find
different added ways that can help move you towards recovery. Whether it be a nice relaxing massage get away from life stress's or getting those knotty knots out. With a big passion and love for what I do, I
welcome you to my practice and would be delighted to assist you in your
holistic health journey.
Melissa takes her time to understand your ails and applies her talent to relieve them.
very relaxing and worth every penny
Rivera has been working on my back, for a few weeks now. She uses blading and cupping to help ease the knots I've had a real problem with. And I love the hot stones, and hot towels the most! Such a treat to get a massage from her! Thank you, Melisa!
Great session. Melisa works all the stress and stiffness out of your muscles.
If you are looking for someone who can feel what is tight and sore without you having to them them she is the one for you. her pressure is spot on if you want to deep or light. She is knowledgeable and checks in on how you are doing. definitely recommend.
Wonderful conversations and took the time to understand where my pain was and addressed it. Highly recommend!
Melissa pays attention to where your aches and pains are.
Melisa is very knowledgeable and truly wants to deliver an individually amazing experience. She listens and works to specifically address whatever is going on with the body and how the muscles are responding.
My wife always enjoys messages with her. Booked appointments all the way through end of 2021 now. Will not go anywhere else.
I absolutely admire Melisa's technique, she has such a way of connecting with her clients that just makes you feel like you're talking to family, she's caring, down to earth, professional, and honestly the most amazing masseuse I have ever met. Thank you Melisa!

Melisa is a very caring massage professional. She works hard to make sure you leave feeling better than when you arrived, even if that means spending extra time to get those knots out. And if you are looking for deep tissue, she can definitely do that well (I spent the next day quite sore, but my back spasms were gone thankfully).

I have had discomfort in my hip for almost 2 months. I can’t sleep without naproxen and my heat pack, but after my massage I fell asleep on my own. Woke up feeling amazing. So thankful for Melissa taking care of me and really listening to what was going wrong.

I liked the slower movement massage. I don’t relax as much when there’s a lot of conversation. I also liked that you were able to find some tight muscles that I didn’t know about.

Well after seeing her for two yrs and being the kind of person that would have never gotten a message before I think that speaks for how well she has taken care of my low back pain. I see her at least 2 a month and it just keep my body in check to keep living my life to the fullest every day!
