Hi there! I’m Melanie - Registered Massage Therapist here at Stride. I have experience and a strong interest in treating many conditions including chronic pain, post-operative rehabilitation, pregnancy, sports injuries, mental health concerns, women’s health and working with youth. I’m particularly passionate about supporting those dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression, which are so prevalent in today’s world.

My techniques include general Swedish massage, trigger point release and myofascial release. My treatments are a blend of relaxation and therapeutic techniques that encourage mind-body integration and awareness. I love talking about fascia and muscles - how they connect and influence your body from head to toe. I’m passionate about discussing the importance and simplicity of adding movement into your day, whether it be strength training, low impact weight bearing exercises, or stretching.

My goal is to address not only your muscles but also your central nervous system. I enjoy creating a space where clients of all ages can experience healing and feel more empowered in their bodies.
