Melissa August, Certified Family Massage Therapist

Jan 2020

I recently received reflexology from Melissa, and I was so glad that I did! Melissa was professional and warm upon greeting me in the main lobby. She took me back to her beautiful, cozy massage room, which housed an ultra-comfy and moveable massage table - making it very easy for me to get onto, as well as helping me to feel very comfortable once she made all of the adjustments to accommodate my needs. After walking me through an intake form, which addressed my health history and current discomforts (foot and knee pain, mostly), she got started. She was careful to check in about my comfort, including adding some eucalyptus essential oil to her diffuser to help sooth my airway because I had a pesky cough onboard. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that she didn't use heavily fragranced massage oil/lotion. As she worked her relaxing magic on my hands, ears, and feet, I drifted off to the soothing background sounds she played during our session. The pressure was firm where I needed/wanted it to be, and relaxing from start to finish. I walked in with foot pain due to a bone spur, and lots of tension in my body. I walked out with zero foot pain and a much more relaxed vibe. I will definitely be back for more much-needed self-care in the future, and I will be referring my doula and childbirth education clients her way, as well, as she lovingly works with expectant parents in a variety of ways!

Melissa is hands down the BEST massage therapist I have ever visited. She is attentive to how my body is feeling that particular day, so every massage is different! I always feel relaxed and calm while visiting her and I definitely leave feeling rejuvenated. I have recommended her to several friends and family members already, from my fiancee who is not used to massages, to a girlfriend who is a new mom and LOVED the infant massage class. Everyone says the same thing: Melissa is THE BEST!
