about me
Hi, I’m Melissa - a holistic practitioner with over 25 years in massage, and now, I’m bringing sound healing into my work- one healing breath at a time.
I first found my way into wellness at Canyon Ranch, growing up in the Berkshires, and since then, I’ve held one truth close- the body and spirit want to heal.
Sound found me in 2023, through a deep study with Lea Garnier at Sage Academy of Sound in Woodstock, NY, and it’s become my anchor. Now I’m weaving breathwork in to help my clients find their own stillness and renewal.
I’m based in Tucson, with roots still in the Berkshires, and I’m offering sessions year round- summers in Massachusetts, the rest of the year here in Arizona.
If you’re looking for a calm, peaceful space to breathe and allow healing, I’m here- let’s begin!

Client Reviews
“10/10 I"m in the Healing Arts and am very discerning when it comes to who I go to for bodywork. Therapeutic results are great every time; increased ease of motion, aches and pains diminished. Melissa is not only highly skilled (and strong) but has also created a beautiful container where I feel like I can really, truly relax. She gently and unobtrusively incorporates beautiful touches of aroma therapy, sound healing, warm blankets... and her hilltop setting and being greeted by her adorable dog Daisy can't be beat!”
— Sandy Cleary Back to Heart Center“Melissa is truly a multi-massage therapist. I feel like I have had an adjustment, sound bath, soft tissue and fascia massage, lymphatic cleanse, nervous system reset and more! She is the most nurturing, compassionate and gifted massage therapist I have ever known. Working with Melissa is truly transformational. She is the absolute BEST!”
“Melissa is simply the best body worker I have ever been to. Her massage invites your body to experience itself differently, and much more positively. She initiates an extraordinary, sensory conversation with muscles and nerves that have been holding onto pain and tension. Her attention to every detail in her lovely treatment room is very special also.”
“I’m a Massage Therapist and when I need bodywork I come to Melissa. Such special detail to every area of my body that needs attention. I always feel incredible afterwards! I highly recommend!”
— Kirsty McCallion Restored“Melissa is the most talented and intuitive body worker I have ever been lucky enough to work with. With her incredibly tuned awareness and deep listening, she helps you release immense amounts of tension, anxiety and pain in just one session. From the beautifully curated space to the use of soothing hot stones and Koshi chimes, each element of the session is carefully considered to provide profound healing on the deepest possible levels of the body, mind, and spirit. I am so incredibly grateful for Melissa’s generous spirit and healing hands, and i cannot recommend her enough! Give yourself the life changing gift of relaxation and visit her!”
—Skye“Pure magic. I can’t say enough good things. I’ve worked with a lot of body workers, and Melissa is in a league of her own. She seems to sense exactly what your body needs before you even say it. After just one session I felt years of stress and tightness let go, and my head felt clearer than it had in a long time. Everything about her space feels thoughtful, from the warm stones to the soothing sounds that fill the room. You can tell she puts real care into every detail, and it makes it so easy to fully let go. I’m so thankful for her kind heart and healing hands. If you’ve been needing a reset for your body and mind, this is it.
