Melanie is passionate about helping her patients feel a sense of ease, comfort and rejuvenation in the body and mind. Through acupuncture and massage, her goal is to support the body’s innate healing capacity. She believes that harmony between our physical, mental/emotional and spiritual selves is pivotal towards holistic health. Melanie has personally experienced, and has worked with many clients who have expressed dis~ease (ie. chronic low back pain, migraines, menstrual difficulties, digestive discomfort, etc) when one of these aspects is out of alignment.
She aims to facilitate systemic balancing with the aid of acupuncture, cupping, massage, diet therapy and rehabilitative exercises. By addressing the underlying causes of disease (not just an isolated set of symptoms), Melanie takes an individualistic ‘whole-person’ approach to healing. This helps in both prevention and management of symptoms, and allows you feel the changes within your system.
Through acupuncture, Melanie guides ‘qi’ to replenish energy, clear stagnation, reduce pain and gain optimal function. Through massage, her aim is to create embodiment and a sense of being held, so that your intelligent nervous system can unwind and resource. Creating a safe container where you are involved in the treatment plan and process is important to her, as is patient education and functional awareness. Melanie wants you to feel empowered and included in your healing journey.
Along with being an RMT and R.Ac, she practices Somatics, Yoga and Qi Gong. She is an avid adventurer and lover of movement. You will find her in the mountains hiking and snowboarding, at sea surfing, enjoying river swims, or at home gardening, cooking, reading, dancing & singing.
Melanie is a believer that we all deserve to feel at home in our bodies and in our lives. ‘Coming home’ to yourself can create a sense of wellbeing and awareness that contributes to leading an aligned, peaceful life. This is an ongoing process through life’s twists and turns, and she is here to support you on your journey of wellbeing.
Melanie is grateful to continue to explore and share the ancient art/science of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which allows us to further understand the mind-body-spirit connection.

This session is covered under standard RMT benefits, and is billed as Registered Massage Therapy.
