Myofascial Release Therapy To Purchase
60 minutes $95.00
Perfect for the active person, great therapy to support your exercise program.
Myofascial Release Therapy goes deep into the tissue that surrounds all muscles to release the restrictions.
I may use it over the entire body or just in specific areas.
The structure of fascial tissue makes it possible to make therapeutic changes to the body long after a trauma is suffered. This therapy lengthens and stretches shorten tissues that when un-addressed may result in pain, a misaligned spine, pelvis or any other area where the tissue is shortened.
Hot Stones will really enhance this treatment!!
Hot Stone Massage To Purchase
75 minutes $140.00
Add on to any treatment $25.00
The powerful energy of basalt stones that are hand gathered from the Baja of Mexico and Montana riverbeds combined with a warm oil massage make this treatment a unique experience.
The stones or " helpers" (as they are sometimes called) are an extension of my hands and when combined, the result is penetrating warmth and deep relaxation.
Couples Massage Instruction~ Great Gift~ To Purchase
Two Hours $190.00
I started teaching couples massage because so many of my clients requested it!
I have been teaching massage to couples for over 25 years, and every session is as unique as the couple. After a short interview to find out what your interests and needs are you will learn basic massage techniques. Great for relieving stress, headaches, or just to relax. You don't need a massage table, there are techniques for easy ways to use a floor, couch or bed. You don't have to be a couple any two or up to eight people interested in learning basic massage can participate.
Massage parties (four to eight people) are off site, call for more information. Last but not least, it is a lot of FUN!
Craniosacral Therapy To Purchase
60 minutes $90.00
90 minutes $135.00
This treatment is for everyone and it is very effective at treating a number of chronic problems.
I find it more relaxing than a massage.
The positive effects of Craniosacral Therapy rely to a large extent on your body's natural self-corrective activities. The light, hands-on approach simply assists the hydraulic forces inherent in the craniosacral system to improve your body's internal environment and strengthen its ability to heal itself. The therapy is used to dissipate the negative effects of stress, and to enhance your general health and resistance to disease. It has an lengthening effect on the spine and compliments any therapy or chiropractic adjustments.
Craniosacral therapy is effective in treating a variety of problems:
Chronic pain as a result of accidents, Chronic Fatigue Stress Disorder, "Frozen" shoulders, Temporal-mandibular dysfunction (TMJ), Chronic Neck and Back Pain, Fibromyalgia, Stress and Tension-Related Problems, Migraine Headaches
A clients experience with this therapy; "I could barely walk when I went for my first session, Melinda said I looked like a cork screw, all twisted. I could barely get on the massage table. For two and a half hours Melinda worked on me, and to be honest she was hurting me but she said," I have to do this to help you." About 30 minutes before I left I felt relief from the pain. I believe it was because of her persistent, intuitive, professional experience. When I left I could walk normally and without significant pain."

Ayurvedic Marma Point Massage To Purchase
90 minutes $150.00
I highly recommend this treatment!
Marma Point Massage is a very powerful treatment. I suggest this treatment for those who are looking for a truly healing experience. Marma points are the gateways in the body where the body and mind communicate.
This treatment combines Marma Point Therapy (which promotes subtle energy cleansing and rebalancing that restores the memory of (wholeness) with a rhythmic massage. The combination of energy balancing and a light touch over the Marma points while very subtle is profoundly relaxing. By stimulating these points, blocks due to stress and improper diet can be dissolved. This treatment quiets the mind, soothes the senses and awakens the inner healer. Pure essential oils are blended for your specific dosha.
Pre-natal Massage
60 minutes $85.00
For mother and baby
Massage during pregnancy benefits mother and baby, soothing, relaxing and relieving stress on hips, low back and legs. We all know that the un-born child is directly effected by its environment before birth, so they benefit too! I recommend it from three months until birth,but it is especially helpful in the last trimester. I also highly recommend that the new mother have a massage as soon after birth as possible. A great shower gift!
