Discover Yourself Again

My passion for bodywork began when I was introduced to Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT), an assessment tool that allows one to see concretely the function of muscles. Since then, I have been on a mission to bridge the gap between the mind and body. With Massage Therapy and Emotion Code side by side, NKT has become the glue that bridges it all together and helps my clients see how their stress and mindsets aid or inhibit their physical health. Awareness is a powerful tool!

I have founded Winter Bloom Bodywork as a place to expand our NKT community in Springfield, mentor others, and continue to teach our clients about the importance of looking at the whole picture. After becoming a mom and essentially being in hibernation with my little cub, I got a clear message that it was time to bloom once again and Winter was the perfect time to do so! Let us be leaders and burst forth from the frost with blooms vibrant and bold.

Experience
Bodywork

Neuromuscular

I have mentored with many professionals but none so extensively as with Tracy Maxfield, a one-of-a-kind body worker in the Springfield, MO area. For more than a year I shadowed his work and discovered techniques like NKT (Neurokinetic Therapy), PNT (Pain Neutralization Technique), and Emotion Code where I began my practice.

Sports Massage

I have a collected 23.5 hrs of post-event sports massage. -CAF Back to Back Challenge is an amazing 3 day cycling event, in support of challenged athletes, winding through the sunny Sonoma hillsides. I was honored to provide sports massage to athletes after the end of their 50-80 mi rides each day. -Nappa Valley Marathon

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Coaching services

by Melonie on Aug 31
Merry listened carefully and approached my treatment with both skill and compassion. After only one session, I had noticeably more range of motion in my hands and arms—enough improvement that I chose to indefinitely postpone my planned carpal tunnel surgery. Even more encouraging, the progress didn’t disappear after the appointment. With my increased range of motion, I’m now beginning to build strength and regain everyday abilities, including opening water bottles and my coffee creamer. I appreciate her professionalism, kindness, and genuine investment in helping me improve. I’m excited to see what I’ll be able to do as I continue getting stronger.

Merry is the real deal. I've been seeing her for at least 3 years. Tuesday I took my kids to see her. She has training in advanced modalities that get to the root cause of your dysfunction. I really appreciate her ability to bring emotions into her corrections. This is often a major key to complete healing. We were all amazed at the results she was able to get with my 2 kiddos. If you're in Springfield and a more advanced approach, Merry is your gal! 10/10 🔥
