Loved my pre-op massage
Bernice C
Sep 17, 2025
I am so glad that I had two deep tissue massage sessions with Melissa prior to surgery. My pre-op stress had triggered headaches and body aches and pains that I worried would impede recovery. After the two sessions, I am headache free, free of upper body muscle pain, and feeling MUCH more relaxed and positive. I am looking forward to working with Melissa after surgery and beyond. She is an outstanding therapist and a kind person who really listens to her clients. Her massage room is lovely too, providing a relaxing multisensory experience.

I saw Melissa for nearly 10 years in Michigan. She is GREAT!! Really helped me work through some tendonitis issues. She is awesome at using the amount of pressure that you want. And she is a fantastic person, too. Can't recommend enough.

I have been a client of Melissa's for over 10 years in Michigan and recently was able to visit her new office in Colorado for a session while on vacation. She is exceptional in every way! Her professional approach is evident in every session, from the warm and welcoming atmosphere to her personalized care. She is also very skilled at reading the client and knowing how to tailor the session for the best experience. I've confidently referred Melissa to many others who are looking for a truly professional and effective massage therapy experience.

Keeping me athletic and loose
Lynn M
Aug 20, 2024
We moved to Michigan in 2020 (yep during Covid) from Massachusetts. I left behind my long time therapeutic masseuse who had helped me navigate chronic back issues and kept me loose enough to continue playing ice hockey. I was very fortunate to find Melissa who continued to provide maintenance treatments that allowed me to continue pain free movement and remain active. I appreciated her knowledge and sense of what needed attention, sometimes more than I did. Knowing she too was an athlete, her goals for my care were very aligned with mine. Colorado is lucky to have her!

I began receiving massages from Melissa over 5 years ago and started off with 60 minutes. I soon realized that 90 was even better and over the years started receiving them about every 6 weeks. Melissa is a wonderful therapist who made me feel comfortable and well cared for each and every time. Boulder is lucky to have her!

I worked with Melissa for 6-7 years before she moved to Colorado 😢 hands down the best massage therapist I had ever worked with. I had a lot of chronic issues between my back shoulders and neck and she always helped the pain. I highly recommend her to anyone who comes across her path!

Most skilled therapist
Sparkle B

Melissa is one of the most skilled therapists I have ever had the pleasure of getting a massage from. I'm a licensed MT myself and she makes me want to be a better therapist. She addressed my rotator cuff concerns and did the most beautiful stretches all while giving a superb overall massage. You WANT her as your regular therapist, trust me.

Amazing skills
Rachel T
Aug 4, 2016
Ahhhhhhh-mazing! Yes I live out of town and yes she is family, but I wish I lived closer so that I could take advantage of her amazing skills more often! Melissa is beyond professional, her office is shared with some other bodywork professionals. The massage table is in a private room modestly decorated with her many certificates, pressure point posters, and beautiful original art works. Where she is trained in neuromuscular, Thai, cupping, I enjoyed the Swedish style massage. Whether you are suffering from aches or pains, or just want to relax, she is capable in providing a wonderful experience! I am so proud of this girl's skills and attention to the areas I asked her to focus on.

Melissa is a special gift that keeps on giving. This was my second visit to see her. She asks the right questions to understand how to proceed. It is also helpful to occasionally give feedback during the massage. She really pays attention. Her hands adjust accordingly to watch she feels and hears. I can't wait to visit her again. It just keeps getting better. Thank you so much, Melissa!!

Melissa is very attentive to her customer's needs. She helped me with some of my tightness issues across my back, hips, and legs. She multitasked by using cupping techniques to help alleviate pain/tightness in places while massaging other key areas. Melissa is great and I'd highly recommend her.

My tension melted away
Scott S
Jan 24, 2025
I can't recommend Melissa highly enough as a massage therapist! Her years of experience truly shine through in every session. She has this incredible ability to find exactly where tension is hiding and knows precisely how to address it. Her technique is exceptional - she intuitively varies the pressure and methods to give you exactly what your muscles need. What really sets Melissa apart is her warm, positive energy and attentive nature. She creates such a comfortable, relaxing environment while maintaining a professional approach. She's genuinely passionate about helping her clients feel better, and it shows in how she tailors the session to your specific needs. After seeing her, I felt like a new person - tension melted away and my muscles were finally able to truly relax. She's a true expert in her craft. If you're looking for a skilled, professional massage therapist who delivers results, Melissa is absolutely the person to see. Five stars!

I just had my first massage with Melissa and as a fellow massage therapist, I was impressed with her work. She varied her pressure to address my current aches and pains, while also addressing some old injuries. I felt safe and supported throughout the entire session.

I came to Melissa in my 3rd trimester of my second pregnancy and she took such good care of me; so much so that I continued with her for the next couple years before she relocated. She was always careful to check in on how my body was feeling, and was very intuitive in terms of what my body was needing once she started her work. I've had a lot of massage work through the past years and she is the best of the best.

Professional, caring and trustworthy
Lori S

As a massage therapist myself, I'm pretty picky about the therapist and their skills and work ethics and when I found Melissa, I felt assured that she really knew what she was doing and was so very professional, caring and trustworthy. And such a nice person too. Bonus! I actually moved 2 years before Melissa moved to Colorado and I have been searching for someone as skilled and confident and have yet to find someone. Such a healer!

Melissa is fantastic to work with. She is very thoughtful and mindful in making sure that she addresses your needs. I was fortunate to be referred to her, and she helped tremendously working on some specific areas that I tend to focus stress in. In addition she worked with me in addressing some chronic issues, so that I could remain active in sports. If you are looking for a massage therapist who cares about you being healthy and well, then I highly recommend Melissa.

Melissa is a highly skilled and talented practitioner. I visited her on many occasions over many years, ranging from post car accident whiplash to chronic back and hip pain from endometriosis. Her range in techniques and skills are expertly suited to each individual. I highly recommend and have never found another massage therapist who could match her.

Keeps the tension from returning
Michelle M
Apr 7, 2024
I was so fortunate to be referred to Melissa by a wonderful physical therapist. I had just finished therapy for frozen shoulder and needed to keep the tension from returning. That was at least 10 years ago! And I continued to see Melissa 1 - 2 times per month ever since. I carry all my stress physically and need to stay on top of it. Melissa has recently moved to Colorado and received her license there. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing massage with a true professional please contact Melissa. I was so sad to hear she was leaving Michigan, but my loss can be your gain! I would have continued to work with Melissa until she retired LOL. You will not be sorry!

The BEST (and I’m picky!)
Brad M
Apr 8, 2015
I will start by saying this is one of the very BEST massages I have ever had. And that's saying something, because l've had a lot, AND I'm picky! Melissa is very talented, and gifted. She has over 750 hours of schooling and it actually shows. She is trained in Neuromuscular, Myofascial, Swedish, Thai and excellent at Sports Injury. She is ABMP insured and Nationally Certified. She's hard to get into at the last minute, but this week I was lucky. And I needed it. I had a knot inside my shoulder blade the size of golf ball, and completely limited the use of my entire arm. 1 hour later-GONE! I really like her style. She spent several minutes to ensure she asked the right questions about how it had been hurt, why it was hurt, asking what my expectation of the massage was going to be, and then explaining her game plan of how she was going to address the concerns. Also, has it has been said before, she sad extremely reasonable rates. I will be back... and I will be back often! Easily 5 STARS!
