"I love your devotion to healing, living in a good way, and the way you stand for what is just and right.  Your intelligence blows my mind, your strength is contagious and uplifting, you cut through the BS to get straight to the heart, your Medicine is potent and intentional and deeply healing, and you are beautiful beyond words. I love your beautiful Soul sweet sister... keep shining my Taurus Love!"

"I met Melina while she was a student at Cortiva and have been a regular client ever since. I have tried many other masseuses but she was the only one able to relieve difficult problem spots I had. She seemed to treat them as a puzzle to solve and was genuinely excited about doing so, both to relieve my discomfort and to improve her skills. She even taught me how to give useful feedback and become a more effective client. Her ability, enthusiasm, and professionalism have raised my expectations for what to hope for in a massage therapist. All my friends will attest to how much I look forward to her treatments."

"I recently accepted a position in California. I've been in Boston for the past 15 years and lived on the east coast my entire life. I was to leave in less than a month. The stress of moving, plus a pandemic, was definitely building up inside. Now I usually do deep tissue massage, so Melina's therapeutic massage was new for me. I only had one session with her, and for the first time in weeks I had the best sleep in my life; my cares had melted away.  Not only did she release negative energy, but she made me feel the calmest I'd felt in a while. It made me focus as I needed and be less overwhelmed for the weeks ahead before my big move. I will be recommending all of my Boston friends to take advantage of her magic. 
​Additionally my rescue dog is amazing, but he's certainly had trauma before he came into my life. Scared of new humans and dogs; it usually takes a day or two for them being in his circle to be slightly comfortable. Melina explained that my dog was holding in some severe trauma in his lower chakras right around his hip and that it needed to be dealt with.  In fact, it explained why his rear area was a "no no" for touching by new dogs and people. Not only did he warm up to Melina in a matter of minutes, but after just two sessions I think he feels like she is his mom! I was floored. My buddy still needs a lot of work that he and I will do together, but I know that Melina has started us on the right path. I am looking forward to more time and healing energies from her.  I recommend that you take your little furry to see her too!"

"Melina has always been an "out of the box" thinker who acts on her ideas within a solid structure. That's why she's an excellent massage therapist. As a massage connoisseur, I know when there is a good balance of personalized attention and skilled technique. Melina currently delivers that and I expect her technique and delivery to grow."

"I have gone to Melina for massages at both Joint Ventures and Balanced Health over the past 2 years. I have seen probably 20 different massage therapists in my life and I would put Melina in the top 95% for giving the best massages with the best outcomes. I've had a long-standing problem with my feet and Melina has been the best therapist I've seen for that issue. Melina demonstrates commitment and passion for her work by including a few minutes of Reiki holds or staying an extra few minutes to ensure you have a successful outcome. In addition to her excellent skills as a therapist, I am also struck by how professional yet personable she is. Melina also always follows up on her commitments, even if it is something as simple as sending an email with a book recommendation or passing along relevant information she comes across for her clients."
