I have a severe traumatic brain injury, I say that so that when I say that Melissa knows where to massage you to get your body working you may have a little background. Excellent work Melissa! – Joe R.
As an energyworker and shamanic healer it is important to me to find someone who is aware, sensitive and well-trained when it comes to who I choose to receive bodywork from. I have found a gem in Melissa, owner of Harmony Integrative Bodywork. She offers inspired options such as: yoga + bodywork, Integrative Bodywork and Abdominal massage. Recently, I had a restorative yoga + Reiki session and found Melissa to be attentive to my injuries, choosing poses that supported and nurtured. With each pose change I drifted deeper into relaxation and releasing. The Reiki enhanced the poses and brought a stillness and quiet to my mind and body. Melissa uses her intuition well and made adjustments that added to the quality of the session as we went. Her compassion, ability to be present and responsive to her clients’ needs and genuine love for what she does make her a therapist worth seeking out. – Deborah Fay
Melissa “honey bee” ~ the hands that strengthen, transmutes and bonds that what One feels but does not see, she’s the vessel of your journey inwardly, to your matrilineal Blessing, to your essence; to all the females to whom you owe your existence and the ones that will follow. To love and nurture you, your womb. I am grateful to spirit for allowing our paths to meet. This has been my third session and every one has been an extraordinary experience, taking me to higher perspective. I leave your sacred space feeling light, grounded, connected and at peace. Thank you Melissa and thank you spirit! Namaste! – Ellia Resto
Melissa has been an instrumental part of my well-being and health care team for almost four years.

She is a wonderful therapist. – Chris G.
