Mission
To work in cooperation with other health care professionals, providing therapeutic massage for individuals who are seeking ways to maintain wellness, manage stress, recover from injury or illness, and improve their quality of life.
What to expect
At an initial visit, Melissa asks her clients to fill out a two page
Health History form including contact information, a brief medical history, primary purpose of visit, and informed consent. After discussing this information with the client, she leaves the room, allowing the client to undress to his/her level of comfort. Then the client lies down, covering him/herself with a sheet and rings a small hand bell to signal to Melissa that s/he is ready. Melissa provides a face rest, bolster, towels, pillows, blankets, heated table, small fan and heater to assure her clients are comfortable. She also offers a variety of quiet music and low lighting to help her clients relax.

| She tailors the massage according to her client's needs, avoiding any areas of the body sensitive to touch, using unscented, hypoallergenic oils, gels and lotions. She checks in with her clients to make sure the pressure is appropriate for them. She offers full body massage, including the head, face, neck, back, abdomen, arms, hands, buttocks, legs and feet. Her goal is to provide safe, effective touch and meet the needs of her clients. After the massage Melissa asks for feedback and discusses any areas of concern or suggests stretches and exercises to assist the client in maintaining the benefits of the massage. |
