I am a former massage therapist, I have had countless massages and I have struggled to find an excellent massage therapist for years. Mel provides one of the best massages I have ever experienced a perfect balance of skill and working on the energetic system. They are grounded, connected, integrative and use techniques that just "work" for my body. Deep enough, targeting the areas that need deeper attention while relaxing the muscles in the rest of the body. It is an art form to be able to do this without going so deep it becomes counter-intuitive because the entire body contracts when a massage is so deep it causes more pain. That is the hallmark of a great massage therapist.
