About Melissa

With a foundation in clinical rehab, Melissa developed a passion for understanding the body as a whole-not just where pain shows up, but what may be contributing to it. Licensed in both North Carolina LMBT #22072 and South Carolina LMT #14489. Melissa blends hands-on Clinical Bodywork with grounding, flowing techniques of Barefoot “ASHIATSU” Massage.

Expect slow, intentional techniques, broad compression and plenty of time listening to what your body needs. Every session is tailored to you and where you are that day.

| 01 | You Arrive

Nothing to prepare—just arrive as you are. Whether you need a whole-body reset or focused clinical work for chronic pain, tension, or dysfunction, we meet your body where it is.

| 02 | We Explore Together

We’ll work together to identify areas needing attention, using your feedback to guide the depth and focus of the session.
