Melissa is a very knowledgeable, talented and experienced massage therapist. As a instructor she exceeded my expectations. She is professional, on-time, sticks to the syllabus- yet always willing to explain further or repeat something for her students to see again, ver approachable, funny and made learning the material fun. - Emily LMBT
