August Melissa

I recently received reflexology from Melissa, and I was so glad that I did! Melissa was professional and warm upon greeting me in the main lobby. She took me back to her beautiful, cozy massage room, which housed an ultra-comfy and moveable massage table - making it very easy for me to get onto, as well as helping me to feel very comfortable once she made all of the adjustments to accommodate my needs. After walking me through an intake form, which addressed my health history and current discomforts (foot and knee pain, mostly), she got started. She was careful to check in about my comfort, including adding some eucalyptus essential oil to her diffuser to help sooth my airway because I had a pesky cough onboard. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that she didn't use heavily fragranced massage oil/lotion. As she worked her relaxing magic on my hands, ears, and feet, I drifted off to the soothing background sounds she played during our session. The pressure was firm where I needed/wanted it to be, and relaxing from start to finish. I walked in with foot pain due to a bone spur, and lots of tension in my body. I walked out with zero foot pain and a much more relaxed vibe. I will definitely be back for more much-needed self-care in the future, and I will be referring my doula and childbirth education clients her way, as well, as she lovingly works with expectant parents in a variety of ways!

Look no further for the best massage in Davis! Melissa is professional, knowledgeable, kind, and very in-tune with the body. She will ask you how much pressure you would like and keeps that level throughout the massage. The times I asked for a strong massage, she accommodated from beginning to end. When I asked her to concentrate on a particular area, she made that her focal point rather than giving it a few extra pushes. My husband introduced me to Melissa after he had a remarkable session with her, relieving knee pain he had had for many years. Finally, we have recently been blessed with a foster infant who we have been taking to Melissa for lessons in massaging our sweet angel. If you have a child, please give your family the gift of massage in Melissa's caring hands.
