About Melanie
Their own wordsI want to help you "Get Back To It" whatever "it" is. Here is my story...
My journey into massage therapy began back in 1995 when I began pursuing a degree in kinesiology and physical education. As a child I was always quite physically active. Outside riding my bike, and playing with friends in the neighborhood, I was never one to sit around in the house. As I grew up and moved into my teen years I started to pursue track and field and cross country running. Then into my late teens and early 20's I became involved in body building, strength training, and then later martial arts.
I was also still heavily into long distance running. In the last 6 years I have been participating in the Queen City Marathons 5k, 10k, and half marathon runs, coming in the top 15 in my category of every race. My experience in athletics and various injuries that have occurred through this has led me to a deep understanding of the body. This in turn led me to pursue a career in massage therapy. I completed my training in July 2025 at Prairie College of Massage Therapy and graduated with honors with distinction.
My background in kinesiology and my athletic pursuits have aided me well when it comes to helping my patients recover from sports related injuries, postural issues, and chronic pain. I have a passion for exercise prescription and home care to empower my patients to take control of their own healing. I tailor all my treatments specifically to my patients and their needs. I work with my patients to come up with a progressive treatment plan that will help them return to their optimal state of being so that they can get back to doing the things they love pain free.
When I am not at the clinic, I can be found running around Wascana Lake, enjoying coffee and a good book or an intense psychological thriller movie, spending time with my 3 young adult children and many pets, and going on dates with my husband, the love of my life. This work/life balance is essential for me to bring a real understanding to the needs of my patients at the clinic.
