About

Hi! My name is Melissa
I’ve been a remedial massage therapist since 2009, and a Massage Trainer since 2025.

Welcome to my page!

I’m all about using gentle techniques that support you and where you’re at. Remedial Massage doesn’t need to be painful! Let me support you in releasing pain and discomfort in a way that calms you, that works with your body and is aware of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual elements that contribute to muscle tension, inflammation and pain.

Leave feeling relaxed and more in tune with your body, more grounded and aware.

I’ve worked in beauty spas, a corporate clinic with many other practitioners and a specialised pre and postnatal massage company that provides home and hospital visits. I love my work and enjoy the changes I see in my clients as they move from pain and stress to the freedom of movement and being relaxed.

Being a trainer, I now get to share that joy with my students, watching them develop and grow in their knowledge and skills.

I really enjoy the synergy of remedial, hot stone and reiki in what I offer to the public. I believe we should get the benefit of remedial massage while staying relaxed and that while discomfort shows our bodies are changing, pain is the result of trauma.

background

People are sometimes surprised that I get my clients to sit down for a quick chat before getting on the table, but often this is the most important part of the session. It helps me understand you – why you have come in, where you feel discomfort and why, and allows me time to plan how to best treat you and get the results you want from the session.

It’s great if you can share everything you think is relevant and describe how it feels. The way the discomfort feels is often a clue to what is happening.

This helps me help you

  • I've had both Reiki and hot stone massage with Melissa now and both treatments were absolutely beautiful.
    Melissa has a beautiful touch, is very intuitive and is guided by your guardian angels during Reiki. I loved that I was able to connect with my spirit guardians and release a lot of pent up emotions. Looking forward to my next treatment soon

  • Hot stone massage was amazing, thank you Melissa!
    I’ve had a few hot stone massages in the past but this one took it to a whole new level. Very experienced therapist and the environment was very quiet and calming. Will definitely book again, in fact l already have
