Melissa comes to Valor P.T. after completing a 650 hour education in massage therapy at the Cortiva Institute. The program had a strong concentration in the areas of Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Technique and Sports Massage. The program also included 35 hours of massage performed in the Cortiva clinic on the general public.

She now hopes to use that same kind of energy to serve her clients as a licensed massage therapist. Since Melissa's graduation from Cortiva, she has worked on clients professionally at the Sama Center in West Chester and Gwynedd Home a residential facility for people with severe disabilities.
