I am in my third trimester and I was searching online for a prenatal massage therapist since I felt more comfortable with a specialist. I am lucky to have found Melanie via Google/Yelp and she was located near me. This place is truly a hidden gem. I had no issues with finding the building and parking in the back lot. It was my first time getting a prenatal massage and Melanie did such a wonderful job targeting all the areas I pointed out and more. Melanie has great energy and a soothing voice. She showed me options of either laying on my side and back or using the pregnant cushion that has holes for the belly and boobs which I decided to use. It was comfortable and safe to use. When she started she used a massage oil that had a lovely mix of essential oils and a sage spray around me. The aroma combined with the calming ambiance in the room; the low lighting, zen music and sound bowl at the end made me feel absolutely relaxed and rejuvenated. Melanie used a good amount of pressure and always checked in on me if I needed any adjustments. The space she rents out of is very clean, cozy and has a cute, vintage interior design since a lot of the decor and furniture is thrifted by the owner. Other ladies also rent out different rooms for their services: hair salon, massage therapy, skincare/sugaring hair removal and acupuncture. I highly recommend Melanie and would also come back to check out the other services. Thank you again, Melanie! :) read more

Melanie is a gifted woman! She was beyond amazing! I just finished my session with her. Great energy, nice sense of humor. You can tell she has a big heart. My neck, shoulders, knees, ankles, heels, my lower got a nice release of pressure. I'm sleeping good tonight! I wish I would of gone to Melanie a lot sooner. read more

Melanie was such a gift! I asked for an appointment same day and she filled me in on a last slot. I came in with a lot of pain on my left back, shoulders and chest. She did her work and fixed me up. I'm super happy to have found her! I'm definitely going to make to a regular thing that I do for myself. I loved it so much. I'm usually very picky about massages but her touch, you can tell she has a passion for what she does. Great job Melanie! Thank you for fixing me! read more

I just had my first massage by Melanie yesterday! I have arthritis in my neck and in the past when I've gone to different massage therapists it always hurt my neck. Not this time, Melanie really knows what's she's doing, my neck feels better than it ever has, and not as tight and achey. I highly recommend Melanie! The hot rocks she used topped it off. It was so relaxing.. read more

Melanie is simply amazing! She has a way to immediately make me feel comfortable and she has a great sense of humor. Her skills are outstanding. As soon as she put her hands on me I feel the relief. The place has a nice zen and relaxing vibe. Highly recommend her! read more

I was referred to Melanie through a friend. That's the thing about Mel: she's so good that her client base is really built around word of mouth! I've been going to Mel before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and continuing through postpartum and now. Throughout all seasons of life, or just simply week to week or activity by activity, Melanie brings a wealth of experience to make the proper decisions on how to massage, heal, and rejuvenate one's body. I'm a teacher; one time during a busy wave in the school year, within 2 minutes, she cracked my back whereas in the summer when I'm more active, she notices and hones into my specific muscle areas. She tends to an individual based on their varying needs session by session. I believe her work history has been working with doctors and chiros and thus, she has a long list of know-how and intuition when it comes to the body. When I was in my 20s, I hopped from one massage to the next randomly depending on when money was available for leisure or luxury. Now I view my monthly sessions with Melanie as an investment in my health and overall well-being. There is never a sell, but I tend to calendar her at the end of each session for the following month because I want to prioritize my self-care. In terms of ambiance, Mel is located inside of Almery Co which if you can imagine is a private set of rooms (imagine a Sola Salon Studios where the owner rents out but only a handful of rooms, uniformly decorated in an art deco vibe, where the professionals are all close colleagues and experienced). Near Bolsa Chica and Warner, it is an easy drive to get to in Huntington. Xo read more

Katie has been my massage therapist for six years now! She is amazing and I would never go to anyone but her! She has experience doing massages in a chiropractors office so she really understands what needs to be worked on and how to do it! She recently started working here and wanted me to come see how cute her new location is and meet Melanie, who is so sweet!! Melanie and Katie are the perfect duo and would make anyone feel comfortable coming in! I couldn't recommend a better place to relax and get a massage!! read more

Let's start out by saying that I have been getting massages from Melanie for almost 10 years. Other than my wife she's the only female that's allowed to touch my body. Her new location is pretty amazing. Does not have a clinical feel whatsoever. In fact, when I was parking, I thought I was pulling up to an apartment complex. Very homey and cozy. They now offer hairstyling,manicure,pedicure, acupuncture, etc. Melanie has a real knack for finding knots and injuries. She has wicked strong hands that can bring the toughest knot to its knees. I go to her for sports therapy massage but she also specializes in relaxation. Those few times I've gone to her without injury have left me super relaxed. He demeanor is my favorite part about her. She is down to earth and has a great, contagious energy about her. I love to make her laugh... The lights are low, nice music, comfortable bed with clean, soft sheets. If you're injured or need to relax, do yourself a favor and call her. read more

Mel's amazing! She's super knowledgeable and I love the atmosphere. Her energy is pure joy and you will not be disappointed ;)

I had been struggling for years to find a quality masseuse in my area, especially one that understood my needs, and could adapt to my ever changing schedule. Katie changed that for good. She is delightful and uplifting, with her positive energy and caring manner she brings to her therapy, it's much more then just any massage. Traveling the world for work I've been exposed to massage on 5 contents and over 20 countries. I hold a very high standard of what I would view what is a quality massage. Katie delivers what I feel easily is a world class massage, besting previous experiences at establishments such as " The four Season's," Pelican Hill , and the Waldorf Astoria. New problems arise due to my lifestyle, Katie creates resolutions for me, and gets me back on track to keep living my fast paced life. Katie even went above and beyond and corrected poor sleeping behavior/habits due to having the "wrong pillows" and no, she doesn't even sale pillows. With out Katie I'd still be on a tireless search of relief. Coming from a professional skydiver I think my high impact needs a test to the fact that she would and could go above and beyond for your daily/ weekly needs. Give Katie a try. I promise your first visit will not be your last . Nate Smith read more

Recently had a massage by Melanie. She was wonderful. She is strong and knowledgeable. I had a sore neck from sleeping wrong and she was able to stretch out my muscles and really work the kinks out. I had a focused massage because of my neck but I can't wait to come back for a full body massage. I'm going with the 90 minute next time. I didn't want to leave. She uses aromatherapy and hot stone as well. I have never had a better massage. It was truly therapeutic. Not just a rub down. I'm a tired mom and I felt so good and relaxed after getting my massage. I even bought my mom a gift certificate so she could try it! True, it's not a 30.00 massage but you get what you pay for. If you want a truly healing massage, this is the woman! read more

I had a 30 minute massage by Melanie and it was wonderful. I had her focus on my neck and shoulders and it was fantastic.

I have been seeing Melanie on Friday afternoons for several months now and just wanted to share the wonderful relief I get from our sessions.

Highly recommend you check her out, just not on Fridays at 2:00 please - that's my spot!!! read more

Mel is my massage hero. I am always in pain from my job as a stylist. Using my upper body all day and standing on my feet for long hours has made my pain level so high. Since going to Mel, I feel a thousand times better. I would recommend her to everyone! read more

My husband and I have been coming to Mel for over 6 years. She is bar far the beat masseuse either of us have ever had, and we have tried a few different places in Orange County and in different cities. We both need deep tissue massage and Mel adjusts our massages based on what's going on with our bodies each time. She's amazing, and you're lucky you've found her! read more

I have know Mel for a number of years and when she told me she was going to become a massage therapist it just made sense...I have never met anyone who cares and puts all of her energy into making others better. Her dedication to her craft and knowledge of the human body is superior and her touch and healing nature are magic. Give her a shot once and she will ruin all other massage for you in the best way possible. read more

Melanie is the best thing that's happened to me in a while. I've spent years visiting doctors about sinus congestion, headaches, and a variety of other head symptoms that caused discomfort & anxiety. Someone finally suggested that my shoulder & head areas were very tight. I've been coming to Mel for a few months now and I'm a different person. My friends can't believe the happy relaxed person I've become. Not only has she loosened my upper body including my jaw, but she's worked on my knee and, biggest bonus, reduced the inflammation in my fingers and hands. My fingers are straighter and my grip is better. An hour with Mel is a totally great time! She is fun to visit with and her room is lovely. She has the strongest hands ever and her philosophy is not to attack vigorously and cause bodily stress but to gradually stretch and loosen the muscles. It is an extra bonus that at the end of the hour I leave relaxed, smelling like spices, with a smile on my face. I'll be coming here forever! read more

I just love Mel. She has been working on my back for at least 3 years. She was referred by a co-worker initially. I am so thrilled that I have met Mel and she literally has done wonders on my back. I've always had a bad back due to a car accident in college and it gradually got worse when I packed and moved into my new home. Mel came to the rescue and was relentless to get all of my aches and pains away. She knew where the bad spots were and she is the best massager therapist I am aware of as of today. I have been to 50 different massage therapists and Mel tops them all. She also is a great person above all. I consider her a good friend. You won't regret it if you give Mel a try. You'll be wanting to come back for more. I guarantee it. read more
