TESTIMONIALS

“Melissa’s Hakomi bodywork patiently revealed chronically frozen and long ignored restrictions in my movement patterns…Melissa has proven to be wonderfully genuine, creating a sense of safety, connection, and harmony to resolve the on-going tension for my body and mind. Her work isn’t a quick fix, but more along the lines of a complete restoration that takes time… and completely worth the effort.”

Melissa was great. Whether you are a lifelong Ridgway resident or just passing through it is a must. She listened to my thoughts on trouble spots and was right on with her assessment. The massage was one of the best I have had. Scheduling was easy and the location was very convenient.

Melissa is an extremely skilled massage therapist, with a wealth of well-honed techniques in her bag. Every time I go, she figures out new ways of easing the tension in my “computer neck” and working out all of the other nobs in my back. I love her selection of oils, hot stones, and lavender-scented eye pillows. (And she even heats your socks up before sliding them back on your feet at the end of the session – the definition of pampering!)

Total relaxation happens when you can sleep during a massage. The discussion before and after provides great therapy as well.

Melissa is a total GEM: she’s a masterful masseuse and a wonderful person who skillfully welcomes you into an atmosphere of light and peace. She listens well and adjusts treatment accordingly within each session: her knowledge of he human body, ability to communicate with sore bones and muscles and tissues, and insight about practices and experiences that contribute to wholeness never fail to astonish me. Melissa combines those gifts with experienced practice, gentle strength and intentional presence. These allow the space and prompting the body needs to respond and soak in healing. A session with Melissa is a gift.

Melissa has a gift! I’ve been receiving regular massages for years in other cities I’ve lived in and I was delighted to find Melissa and her cozy studio in Ridgway when I relocated to the area. Melissa always takes the time to hear about what is happening in your life and how your body is feeling – something many other practitioners overlook – the mind/body connection. Melissa has not only helped relieve muscle tension, aches and pains, etc. but has helped me learn more about my body and feel more at home in my own skin.
