Meli Leon

All Mamas need to be Nurtured

I feel that massage during pregnancy tremendously helps both mom and baby.  In addition to common aches and pains, massage can help calm anxiety, nervousness and stress about birth.  Studies have shown that pregnancy massage is linked to better birth experiences, less complications and less drug interventions.  Come see what it can for you.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

Very knowledgable, compassionate, and an excellent therapist!
by Lori on Nov 08
Just so appreciative of her skill and time that she took with me

Meli was absolutely great! I've never had Arvigo Therapy or heard of it prior to scheduling the appointment so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Meli walked me through everything, discussed all my concerns and helped me feel extremely comfortable! The session was wonderful and she gave me things to work on at home to help continue the benefits from the session. I can't wait to go back!

I loved her knowledge, validation, and calm approach. I felt completely comfortable, even though this was a new situation for me. I look forward to my next appointment!

Melinda is extremely kind hearted. She understands clients on an emotional level just as much as physical level. I really appreciated her knowledge and ability to teach. I would definitely recommend Nurtured Mama to any and all mothers!
