Introduction: I am a Nationally Certified massage therapist who has been in practice since 2004. I am trained in many different massage and bodywork techniques: John F. Barnes Myofascial Release, Reiki, Swedish, Deep tissue, Orthopedic Neuromuscular therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Lypossage, Hot Stone, and Chair massage. Recently, my training in John F. Barnes Myofascial Release has been a large focus for my clients helping them to restore a pain-free lifestyle. For clients looking for a more traditional massage, I utilize many different modalities in a session tailored to their specific needs. My clients love how I always know where they need the work and hit all their problem areas. Many people have complimented on my flow and my strength. The Reiki I am attuned in is also the pure Usui lineage, therefore, many clients feel even more energy than with other types of Reiki. During my career, I have worked in different facilities, including chiropractor's offices, yoga studios, a spa, and a gym. Currently, I have been at Nazareth Chiropractic for 6 years. It is important to me to provide my client with a relaxing atmosphere, even though most of my clients come to me for pain relief instead of "relaxation". My clients' health and well-being are my priority. It is important for me to convey to them that healing comes from within. I feel honored to work with everyone who comes into my office.

I have been going to see Melissa for about 2+ years and I started out where everything was painful and now I am back at the gym and even riding my bike. I have had regular massage, reki, and MFR and I find the most benefit from Melissa's MFR! Melissa has this uncanny ability to just sense what you need without talking, it's like she reads your body's mind. My health on a physical and spiritual level have improved a zillion %!! So grateful for "Massages by Melissa"!!!

I've been getting massages from Melissa for over 3 years. She is AWESOME!!! I recommend her to all my friends and family. I normally go for an hour and half deep tissue massage and Melissa knows how to get right down into that area of problem.

I've been to them all but there is no other massage therapist like Melissa. I was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia and suffered with excruciating pain at the base of my head and neck. After one session with Melissa, the tender spot that was present for years, was gone. I am so grateful that I found her and look forward to my visits every week with her. Thank you, Melissa!

Mellissa was great. I have neck problems due to auto accident and she helped relief the pain. She also gave me pointers on what I could due at home. She was very professional, the office was very clean and the room where I was had soothing music being played throughout my time spent getting my treatment . I would highly recommend anyone to Melissa

I was looking for a Lymphatic massage (for post Lipo procedure) which I had performed on me by two other therapist in Georgia and NJ. My massage with Melissa was completely different from what I had with my prior massage therapists. I just did not feel like I recieved what I was expecting. It was very light touching and rubbing rather than applying circular massaging pressure to the areas of focus. The massage felt more spiritual. Overall I was not happy with my service.
Massages by Melissa's reply
I am sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with your experience. Lymphatic massage is a very gentle touch, less than 15 grams of pressure, or the equivalent of the weight of 3 nickels. Different rhythms can be worked as well, and maybe you didn't like the slower pace I used. In addition to taking all the lymphatic classes, I was an assistant teacher. I encourage my clients to be communicative during their sessions so optimal results can be achieved. Please in the future alert your therapist if you have any concerns, questions or issues during a treatment session. I wish you the best in your healing process and hope you find a therapist you are satisfied with.
