“Melissa is my go to for massage. I beat my body up weightlifting almost daily and it takes a huge toll on me. I go to Melissa and she is able to find the exact spot I'm having issues on. I can also tell her what lift I have been working on and she is able to pull from her own lifting experience to know what muscles I used and what needs to get worked on. She's amazing. I can not recommend her enough.”

“I went to see Melissa when I finally had enough of long standing back pain that was starting to slow me down at the gym and in most other areas of my life. I was just in pain a lot. I could feel her untying all the knots in my muscles as she skillfully worked. She always made sure the pressure was ok. It was kind of a magical experience. She took me from lots of aches and pains and ibuprofen to mask that, to being almost pain free straight away. I see her for preventative stuff, and she's just the best.”

“Melissa is a great masseuse. She is kind and gentle. She knows how to release anxiety and stress.”

“I've been using Melissa for quite a while now, and she's always done a phenomenal job loosening my muscles and unwinding my back. But recently I broke my radius bone and have been receiving a lot of physical therapy. But with pt they only concentrated on my injured area and left the rest of my arm untouched. After a couple sessions with Melissa, she was able to loosen some of my surrounding muscles and ligaments to help me with a much speedier recovery. She understood the dynamics of the body and was able to target all the connective muscles. She also helped with scar tissue breakdown, and treated my scar with a specific oil to help my scar recovery. She's very understanding and knowledgeable about all things encompassing the body. Thanks again!”

“Melissa is hands down one of the best massage therapists in NY. Every time I have pain, she works on it and it is gone after the treatment. She is very experienced and knows exactly what to do to treat your issue. She is the best and I won't go anywhere else. I strongly recommend her!”

“Melissa is a great massage therapist, coming from someone who gets massages often that should mean a lot. Her session was both therapeutic and relaxing at the same time. I will definitely be back to see her soon!”

“Melissa is one of the best LMTs I've ever worked with. She's truly is a gifted healer. I've been a regular client now for almost 2 years. I started seeing her for prenatal massages. She's experienced, kind and intuitive. She also works out and lifts weights. I also do the same and I found she knows exactly what to do when I tell her I've been having intense workouts. Overall, she's a wonderful professional!”

“My chiropractor recommended Melissa to help me after I tore my rotator cuff. I went in skeptical of massage therapy because I never really had a good experience. Past therapists have been either too forceful, way too forceful, or just ineffective for me. So I thought it must just be hard for a stranger to get to know my body so quickly, to know what I need. That may be true for other therapists but Melissa is an exception, and she changed how I feel about massage. She understood what I needed immediately and through her massage taught me how my body creates tension, and where I need help to relieve it. Through a combination of her massage and my patient chiropractor, I am now more aware of my body, and more in control of it, than ever. I can't recommend Melissa enough. She's brilliant at what she does, and by the way she's also just a very nice person.”

"I was always in good shape, played sports my whole life, and never got injured.  It wasn’t until I started weightlifting more seriously and getting stronger that I noticed the many imbalances in my body.  I’ve spent years researching the biomechanics of human movement, and applying it to my own practice, and still, what I knew wasn’t enough. I also knew that unfortunately most people didn’t know more, and couldn’t do quite what I needed, which was to take my fitness and address the concerns to allow for me to elevate it to another level. There were deficiencies in my musculature, limited range of motion in certain planes, and so on. After a conversation and one session with Melissa, I felt better than I’d ever felt.  Perhaps of equal importance, I felt reassured that I was in the proverbial hands of someone who knew enough to teach me what I didn’t know, and allow for me to move at a level I didn’t know I could.  I have been receiving regular treatment from her since, and have improved in virtually every aspect of movement. There isn’t one nagging issue she hasn’t been able to not only help but completely eliminate. I thank her dearly for this.  To be able to take someone who has had no real injuries and be able to work on them to allow for even greater health and well-being is, I think, a very rare skill. She’s as important and ongoing a piece of the athlete’s arsenal as a barbell and food." 

"Melissa is my first stop for aches and pains. Her knowledge of the human body and how everything interacts is amazing. I feel that even when I have no clue what I actually hurt, I can explain the pain and area and she is fixing me up in no time. I also love her schedule and location flexibility. Having an amazing woman come to my house to give me a massage on my time? How could I not love her!"
