About Melanie

---

I came to this work wanting a quieter way to spend my days and to help others find that too.

I had worked in environments that felt tense and fast moving, and I found myself drawn instead to work where people could slow down and breathe a little easier.  Body work and yoga offered that - both for me and for the people I work with. 

I enjoy helping people ease out of discomfort, but also watching the moment something shifts -

 when a person realizes their body can move or settle in a way they didn't expect.

Over time my interest has grown beyond muscles and movement.  I'm continually drawn to practices that

 help people slow down and understand their internal landscape, not only the discomfort that first brings them in.

I currently offer relaxation, therapeutic and thai massage, along with beginner hatha and restorative yoga.

Background

I graduation form the Wellington College of Remedial Massage Therapy in 2015 with a diploma in 

Advanced Remedial Massage.  In 2018, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training and am

 also a certified meditation teacher and level 2 reiki practitioner.

I continue to study approaches that support rest and regulation, and plan to expand my offerings over 

time to include additional restorative therapies.  Outside of sessions and classes, 

I hope to include more writings about the quieter parts of everyday life.
