I've gotten massages before, but until I came to Melissa at Mending Hands I never understood the…read morepower and importance of body work. And as a personal trainer I can tell that Melissa has an amazing understanding of the body, so I can be sure that I'm getting just what I need. Often I come to her feeling really tense after a long day of working with clients and sitting at my computer and she knows exactly how to make me feel relaxed, calm, and actually nicely enough a bit taller (which is a big deal for a short girl like me!). I've come to her a dozen or more times and have even sent my husband and a few of my clients there. They all come back to me raving at how amazing she was and how great they feel. They now see her regularly too. The best part about all of it though is Melissa herself. She has an amazing working knowledge of the body, can do many different types of massage, and she really gets to know you and understand what you're looking for. I feel so at ease with her and she makes me feel very cared for. You can tell she loves what she does and truly believes in it, because you're never just a number with her. I never feel rushed and she always takes it one step further by giving me a little tip on my way out the door, like a stretch that I can do to alleviate some of the tension I'm feeling in my neck. I am now a massage devotee and will continue to send my clients to her.

This is my second review for Melissa and her business. I get massages about once a month so where…read moreever we are traveling I get one there or I find different people in my local area. Hands down Melissa is the best! I have had massages in Thailand, Costa Rica, New York, LA, San Francisco, Palm Springs (I did find an amazing guy in Palm Springs but he moved- so that is exactly my point that Melissa is the best and she was right where I left her a year ago) and I can honestly say she is the best! When my husband and I look forward to coming to our time share we look forward to our massages with Melissa. Melissa gets it right. The pressure, the room temp, the bed is amazing. She remembered us and our conversations we had a year ago so we feel like we are visiting an old friend. She is so good that she books fast so make sure to make an appointment in advance!! Can't wait for next years massage already!!

I requested firm pressure as I like my knots to be worked out, but I don't like "deep" as in my Massage hurting. I loved her technique and she has very strong hands, so it was a fabulous combination. I also loved the lotion she used for the massage, moisturizing but not oily and not scented. I am scent sensitive so that means a lot to me, otherwise a migraine may get triggered. It was easy to book an appt, you can do it online, call, or text the number listed. The office was very clean and nicely put together. I especially loved that the "papertowel" roll in the bathroom was made from washcloths/towels that could be washed and reused. Kristy was great to interact with, very thoughtful and we had a nice chat while I was waiting for my ride. She also did a very thorough clean of the massage space after my session, which I appreciated knowing that was done prior to my session as well. I get a lot of massages. Pre-COVID-19 I would say I was averaging a couple a month and I believe Kristy is very talented and if I lived in the area I would be making weekly appointments! I hope I get to come back and have the same experience, in the meantime please go and experience since I will be back home and can't!

When the month long project was done I decided to book myself a therapeutic massage. I honestly did not think it would be able to help much but hoped it might at least momentarily ease some of the pain. I was also concerned because I am on vacation here and always get nervous about trying out a new massage salon. Mark was amazing and very professional. He really listened to what areas were my main concerns and worked on those areas. He checked on the pressure he was applying several times to ensure he was providing relief without causing discomfort. He knew the interconnections of the body's structural system to know how to not only work directly on the tight areas but also those areas that attached to it to help release the tightness. By the end of the 90 minutes session I felt vastly better than when I went in. The BEST part, is that relief stayed with me throughout the day and the next. Mark really worked miracles and I would highly recommend him. I definitely plan to go back and get another massage.
