About

Melanie is a Licensed Massage Therapist who brings together 25 years of experience in public health and health care administration with a deep commitment to therapeutic massage and holistic wellness. Grounded in an evidence-informed approach, Melanie views massage therapy as an opportunity to support the body’s natural capacity for balance, restoration, and well-being. Her practice emphasizes individualized care, thoughtful touch, and a welcoming environment where each client’s unique needs, comfort, and wellness goals guide the therapeutic experience.

​

Melanie specializes in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and is a Klose™-certified therapist with comprehensive training in the Vodder® method. This gentle, specialized technique supports healthy lymphatic function and can help reduce swelling and fluid retention, encourage relaxation, and support the body during recovery from surgery or injury. Melanie also has advanced training in prenatal massage and Thai massage and shares her passion for the profession as an instructor of therapeutic massage at SpaTech in Westborough, Massachusetts.

​

Her approach to massage is highly individualized. Depending on your needs and preferences, sessions may incorporate Swedish and therapeutic massage, deep tissue, myofascial techniques, prenatal massage, Thai massage, static and dynamic cupping, hot stone, CBD, and aromatherapy. Instead of following a one-size-fits-all routine, Melanie thoughtfully adapts each session to meet you where you are and provide the care your body needs that day.

​

Melanie believes that wellness extends beyond the physical. Her approach is warm, intuitive, and compassionate, grounded in attentive listening, therapeutic touch, and respect for each person’s unique experience. Whether you are seeking relief from tension and discomfort, support during recovery, or simply a restorative space to slow down and reconnect, she strives to create an environment where you feel safe, heard, supported, and cared for.
