ABOUT MELANIE
After surviving breast cancer and four rounds of chemotherapy, Melanie returned to school, became a licensed esthetician, and built a practice rooted in one thing she had needed the most during her own treatment: safe, compassionate, intentional touch.
She knows what it feels like to sit in fear and exhaustion while still trying to hold yourself together. That knowledge lives in every appointment she gives.
She is also the founder of She Rises Sourdough- where healing continues around the table.
