Whether you’re seeking deep relaxation, lymphatic drainage, focused injury care, mobility-focused stretching (and more!), I provide comprehensive massage therapy designed around your needs. See all current offerings below.

*Hot stones and cupping available for any treatment

Initial Visit: Please select this if it is your first time visiting the studio.

The Unwind: This is your classic relaxation massage. A soothing full body massage designed to ease tension, quiet the mind, and invite deep relaxation.

Flow State: A classic lymphatic drainage massage. A gentle, intentional treatment designed to reduce swelling, soften fluid retention, and encourage a sense of ease and lightness throughout the body.

Face the Day: A focused treatment for the head, neck, shoulders, and jaw with optional intra-oral techniques to release TMJ tension, and bring lightness back to your face and upper body

Sole Purpose: Settle into a big comfy chair with a treatment designed for your feet and lower legs. Begins with a hot foot bath so you leave feeling lighter and refreshed. Perfect for runners or those always on their feet.

Spotlight: This is for returning patients only for area specific massage discussed in a previous treatment.

Hi, I’m Melanie — a calm, friendly RMT who’s passionate about helping people feel more at ease in their bodies.

I became a massage therapist to better understand the body and nervous system, and that curiosity has grown into a deep love for supporting clients with anxiety, TMJ tension, chronic stress, and the everyday aches that come with being a “weekend warrior.”

My approach is gentle but firm, intentional, and rooted in creating a space where you can breathe a little deeper and feel truly cared for. I believe massage therapy can beautifully complement mental health work, and I focus on techniques that help quiet the nervous system and release built-up tension.

When I’m not in the studio, you can usually find me lifting at the gym, running, or exploring new trails with my dog. I recently moved here from Toronto and I’m loving every chance to discover what this community has to offer, especially the outdoor spaces!

Whether you’re looking to unwind, address persistent tension, or support your overall wellness routine, I’m here to help you feel grounded, relaxed, and supported each step of the way.
