"What’s been most amazing for me, of many wonderful things I can say about being treated by Melissa, is seeing and feeling how effective she is in both the short and long-term, no matter what my physical or mental issue happens to be."

“Melissa's knowledge of the body and movement patterns is amazing. In our first session she effortlessly assessed my issues and through a series of small movements and larger weighted exercises, was able to restore balance to my body. In between our sessions, Melissa provided me with exercises to do on my own so I could continue our progress. What I appreciate the most about Melissa is her desire to arm people with the knowledge and tools they need to strengthen their body and live pain-free.”

“Melissa is magical! In my very first session, she helped me resolve a foot issue that had been plaguing me for over a year and that a podiatrist, physical therapist, acupuncturist, and other trainers had all been unable to help with. She is one of the most caring and intuitive people I have ever met and made even this out-of-shape and self-conscious person feel comfortable. Working with Melissa has been as good for my soul as it has been for my body.”

"Practicing with her leaves me feeling relaxed and peaceful in both my mind and my body."

“I was saying to somebody recently that yoga actually teaches you about your body: where you're loose, where you're tight, where you're sad or anxious. I've always felt that, but Melissa is the first teacher who has made it explicit."

“I feel like the main thing going on is that I'm being reliably taken care of, which is a big thing for me. I could come in and say I stubbed my toe on the way over, and Melissa would just start a session that not only accommodated that, but addressed it.”

“Why do I love working with Melissa? Because it's fun. Because she's so smart. And because she seems to know what to do about every bone, muscle, ligament, tendon, etc., etc. from one's toes to one's nose.”

“Her approach to Yoga makes the body more flexible, but her words about life work equally well with the soul.”

“It’s been a revelation to find I can do things I did not know I can do. And that is one of the things Melissa has made possible. She gives her students encouragement, in the true sense of the word.”
