Hi, I’m Melissa! It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself, so I thought it was time to share a little about who I am and what I do.

I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Specialist, Orthopedic/Therapeutic Massage Therapist, Deep Tissue & Sports Therapist, and Licensed Aesthetician, with 18 years of experience.

My career began working with athletes, including strongman competitors, MMA fighters, and retired professional baseball players. Over the years, I’ve also worked alongside chiropractors, physical therapists, functional medicine practitioners, medical doctors, and surgeons, as well as in high-end spas and resorts.

That experience has taught me one important thing: there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness.

Some people need therapeutic work to address pain, injury, or mobility. Others need relaxation and recovery. Many need a little of both. Every session is customized to you and what your body needs that day.

As a Licensed Aesthetician, I also help clients better understand their skin and create practical home-care routines. I especially enjoy working with teenagers struggling with acne, helping them find realistic solutions to manage their skin at home without making things unnecessarily complicated.

I’m also continuing my education and will graduate in early spring as a Functional Nutrition & Holistic Wellness Coach, expanding my ability to look at wellness from a more whole-body perspective.

Outside of work, I’m married to my husband, Doug, a retired massage therapist who you may now see around Baraboo working as a civilian officer. We have five kids: Jessica, a professional cosmetologist in Iowa; Abigail, a counselor in Northern Wisconsin; and Izzy, Maverick, and Nixon, who we’re still raising and usually chasing from one sporting event to the next! When we’re not running kids around, we love gardening, raising chickens, and finding ways to bring a little more country living into our life—even in town. ??

After 18 years, I still love what I do. My goal is simple: to help you feel better, function better, take better care of yourself, and feel confident in your own skin.

I’m grateful for every person who has trusted me with their care, and I look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and help people feel their best. ❤️
