She is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Yoga Instructor, and enjoys integrating the healing arts. Melissa graduated from Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2012, and has over 1,000 hours of training in bodywork. She harmonizes Eastern and Western modalities, incorporating Deep Tissue, Myofascial (MFR), Cranial Sacral, Cupping therapy, Trigger Point, Hot Stone massage, Thai massage stretches, Reflexology, as well as Prenatal. She enjoys helping others find relief from chronic pain, recurring blockages, misalignment/postural discomfort, migraines, TMJD, overuse injuries, sport maintenance, and emotional wounds.

Drawn to yoga for the physical asanas, Melissa quickly benefited from the mental and emotional support yoga also lends. Her classes focus on blending strength, functional movement, lengthening, repatterning exercises, mindfulness, meditation and pranayama in a light-hearted Vinyasa-style approach.

Melissa is a graduate of Opal Yoga’s 200 hour YTT program in Charlottesville, Virginia, and is honored to share this intimate yoga journey with others.
