Meet your Therapist
Welcome to Massage with Melinda. We are so happy you took a moment of your time to consider us for your self-care needs.
Melinda's journey began after high school with an innate desire to help others. She enrolled and graduated in Medical Assisting at Bryant & Stratton and continued her studies enrolling and graduating from Continental school of Beauty for Esthetics. She decided to enroll into Massage school at New York Institute of Massage and has never looked back. Melinda approached her career in healthcare solely in honor of her mothers' courageous and on-going health issues. The intuitive touch you feel during a session with Melinda stems from her compassionate approach that started and blossomed over the years from her goal of decreasing discomfort and pain for her mom.
Melinda has 15 years combined experience in both Massage Therapy and Esthetics. She has traveled yearly to extend her education. For the majority of her career, she has worked primarily in a medical background alongside chiropractors and physical therapist as well as holistic practices working with acupuncturist and fellow estheticians.
The purpose for creating Massage with Melinda is to extend her personal approach to health and beauty for those who cannot access it otherwise. We believe when you help yourself, you help the world. Being able to control the functionality so people from all backgrounds and walks of life can feel the health increasing benefits of massage therapy is our ultimate goal. Please reach out to see if you qualify for any deductions to make our services accessible to you.
Touch is a simple, effective and powerful gift and we all possess it. If you are seeking massage for yourself or a gift for someone special, please gift them the joy of experiencing Massage with Melinda.
"The art is in the attention."
