about me
Hi, I’m Melissa — a holistic practitioner with over 25 years of experience walking the path of massage and sound healing. Growing up in the Berkshires, I first discovered my passion for wellness at Canyon Ranch, and since then, I’ve been guided by one simple truth: your body and spirit want to heal.
Sound found me during a deep study with Lea Garnier at the Sage Academy of Sound, and it’s become my anchor, especially through life’s heavier moments. When the world feels overwhelming, I return to massage, sound, and breath. Now, I’m weaving breathwork into my practice to help clients go even deeper into release and restoration.
I’ve been practicing massage since 2000, and the body still surprises and teaches me every day. I’m always learning, always growing.
Originally from the Berkshires, MA, I relocated to Tucson, AZ in January 2026. My vision is to be rooted in both places—offering massage and sound healing year-round, with summers in Massachusetts and the rest of the year in Arizona. Stay tuned! I may just pop up back in the Berkshires around the holidays. 🌿
If you’re craving calm, deep relaxation, or simply a sacred space to breathe again… 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.”
“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!”
