Growing up as a competitive diver, Melissa’s passion for health and fitness started at a young age. She understands the benefit of massage therapy, regular exercise and the importance of taking care of one’s body for a life free of aches and pain!
During her career as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, Mel wanted to add a complimentary modality to her skill set. In 2014, Mel graduated from the Intensive Massage Therapy program at Algonquin College and became a registered massage therapist.
Melissa specializes in deep tissue and myofascial release. She has extensive experience working with rehabbing injuries as well as pre-and post-natal clients.
Throughout the years Melissa has thrived off sharing her passion for health and fitness with others. During university she focused on long distance running, completing both full and half marathons. In 2015, Melissa turned her focus to competitive body building and placed top 5 in the figure category at the provincial level, qualifying for nationals. She now spends most of her days chasing her two boys and training for the half marathon at Ottawa Race Weekend in her free time!
Mel is very excited to be part of the team at Mill View Integrated Health and to help you on your journey!
