Mindful Bodywork for Body-Wise Women

I am a massage therapist myself and receive work from a lot of different LMPs, and I can honestly say Melanie is one of my absolute favorite therapists. Melanie is calm, professional, and thorough. She is skilled at both massage and reflexology. Recently I went to her for some back and shoulder issues that other therapists had not been successful treating, and I left her table feeling incredible. Her touch soothes not only my aches & pains but also my nerves. I try to see her regularly & I highly recommend her.

Reflexology with Melanie is a treat no one should forego. Melanie knows her stuff. As a yoga teacher I notice how many people completely ignore their feet and it’s amazing how much can be addressed by just working on them I’ve used sessions with Melanie not just to deal with foot problems but also to ground myself after a long trip, to cope with digestive and perimenopausal issues and because the sessions are ultimately relaxing. I admit I’m particularly lucky because I can walk to my sessions with her so I don’t need to worry about driving home.
Even if you have to drive i still highly recommend that you go see Melanie, you won’t regret it!

I’ve had both massage and reflexology sessions from Melanie. This review is going to focus on the reflexology, simply because I’m amazed with it and I feel that more people should experience this.
After my session I felt very relaxed — but not tired. I’m used to falling into a sleep-​coma after a regular massage, but this was a very different (and welcome) feeling, I felt rejuvenated. During the session she was able to figure out what was going on with my body just by working on my feet. She’d ask me something very specific about my body and was right nine times out of ten. It’s almost entertaining the way she is able to figure things out — like, how can you possibly know that?! It just goes to show you how connected our feet are to our body (and I don’t mean that in the literal sense), our feet tell the story of our life.
Melanie was also happy to answer all my questions, as I was intrigued by it all. After my session I was informed of things I may experience in the next few hours/​days, which I appreciated. Overall, Melanie offers a very interesting, rewarding and fun session!

My reflexology session from Melanie was great. She was very knowledgeable of the different reflexology points and where they corresponded too. I liked how she asked for feedback when she was working points that stood out to her, so that I was learning while she worked. I also enjoyed the firm pressure, which helped to avoid feeling ticklish, and made me feel like my feet were really being worked. Thanks Melanie, can’t wait to have another session!

I see Melanie not only for foot pain, but for overall stress relief during emotional times. She is grounded and present to my needs. She is extremely knowledgeable about reflexology, and can pick up on things from my feet that I haven’t even told her! She makes you believe in the magic of the work. I leave her sessions feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and sometimes even forget all my troubles!
