Melissa Jane Hall, LMT, CST, HHP/ A Healthy Balance

I’ve spent the last decade doing ‘the work’ whatever exactly that means… counseling, therapy, journaling, breakthroughs, aha moments, questioning reality, frustrations… all of it. And while that work absolutely changed my life in a profound way, I hit a wall about five years ago. A frustrating one. Because no matter how much I processed or understood, my body still held it.

Melissa is a delightful gem of a person and does AMAZING work! From the perspective of a rather anxious/overworked/uptight person - I always feel safe and seen when I arrive, I trust her and appreciate her active listening skills, and I always leave feeling more grounded/relaxed in myself. If you're looking for wholistic yet grounded/direct and no bullshit - she's the peep ya need to see. :)
