Private Treatments & Community Care

Melissa offers private treatments in her office in Soquel, in the comfort of your own home, or one-on-one telehealth sessions. In these intimate settings, you will feel immediately safe and supported to talk about your problems. Melissa will then decide what combination of treatment modalities is best suited to your needs.

For community care, Melissa offers several options:

• Community Acupuncture during Yoga Nidra practice at Pleasure Point Yoga. This is a seasonal offering to experience the benefits of guided meditative yoga combined with acupuncture in a small group setting.

• Mobility & Breathwork classes offered in combination with free community workouts at Crossfit Amundson as pop up events on select Saturdays.

“I need your level of experience and confidence, because sometimes I walk in not quite sure WHAT I need! I know I can ask for your guidance with regards to supplement support, as well as daily self-care routines, and trust that it is advanced level information. I absolutely trust you with my issues. I leave knowing exactly what I need and how to achieve it, and even better, I am energetically inspired to take action immediately!!”

“After talking and then doing work on the table, I notice that my head is a lot less foggy. My skin clears up because there is less inflammation in my gut. My stress levels go down significantly — honestly, I think I forget how to relax until I see Melissa! Melissa has personally taught me the value of self care and helped bridge two areas that I needed to see connected in order to move forward and heal. I had a very sensitive gut which resulted in gnarly eczema all over my body, and I didn’t want to take medications … I wanted to find meaningful ways to help alleviate the frequent inflammation while getting through the nitty-gritty emotional blockages in my system, which is why I turned to Chinese medicine. Melissa helps me with a lot of grounding work, which allows my body and soul to actually chill out! She teaches me acupressure points that genuinely help me in my day-to-day life when I get stressed and anxious.”

Working with you consistently has changed the way my body feels (less pain on a regular basis), and the herbal and essential oil potions you make are magic! Sometimes everything can feel suffocating, but your positive attitude and encouragement really helps. The non-judgmental way that you listen is a blessing.”
