Guided by her intuition, knowledge, and experience, Melanie provides support for your healing journey through therapeutic massage, integrative bodywork and energetic therapies. She values the importance of being heard, respected and honored as a sacred being and welcomes all into her practice. Clients often comment that Melanie has a deep sense of intuitive knowing and ability to determine what is best for their physical and spiritual health during each session. Melanie has always been fascinated by the science of the human body, spirituality, and ancient healing practices. Since birth she has been highly sensitive, empathic and intuitive. After earning a B.S. degree in Biomedical Science & Chemistry, Melanie’s personal healing path led her to the transformative world of Holistic Health Practices, Traditional Indigenous Healing and Energy Medicine for physical & emotional wellbeing. A variety of healers and holistic modalities helped her discover the root cause of her debilitating digestive issues, anxiety and depression and find ways to heal on multiple levels. Along her path, Melanie followed an inner calling to apprentice with Elders Kimberly Hart, Selma Sroka, Maestra Rita Navarrete and Master Curandero Laurencio Lopez Nuñez in the teachings of Ancient Native American & Mayan Healing Practices. Melanie was honored to be initiated into the lineage of the Curanderismo healing tradition. She also became certified as a Reiki Master, studied hands-on healing with Echo Bodine, and was a panel member of The Sistrum Channelers, where Melanie channeled Spiritual Guidance at monthly gallery group readings in the Minneapolis area. Melanie started her Massage & Healing practice in 2017, after earning her second college degree, an Associate of Applied Science, in Western Therapeutic Massage and Eastern Shiatsu Therapy. She worked out of the Adagio Holistic studio for 5 years. In 2022, Melanie founded a multi-employee business named “Skyhaven Massage & Healing Arts” in Uptown Minneapolis, where she worked as the business owner, massage therapist and healing practitioner. In February of 2025, Skyhaven changed ownership and Melanie returned to private practice. Before becoming a massage therapist, Melanie enjoyed working as a chemist, corporate manager, adult foster care provider storm chaser and photographer. Melanie is excited to be a part of the Adagio community in South Minneapolis again, where she is currently seeing clients. Education: B.S. Biomedical Science, A.A.S.
