Therapeutic & deeply relaxing
Lomilomi ~ Deep Flow ~ Pregancy massages ~ Body Salt Scrub & Aromatherapy ~ Indian head massage My name is Melanie. Thank You.
I grew up in France and I give thanks to the K’omoks Nation and the Pentlatch people on whose land I live, dance, pray and play in gratitude to the forest, rivers, mountains, ocean and all of creation who nourish this land. I am a massage practitioner, energy healer, and ceremonialist. I am devoted to helping others to reclaim their sovereign bodies: physical, emotional, and energetic. My aim is to create a safe and peaceful space where the nervous system can unwind, physical tensions can be released, the heart can open, and the soul remembers its home. I help people reconnect to themselves, feel whole, and at home in their bodies. For over 15 years I have had the honor of serving highly-sensitive, empathic spiritual seekers through my passions for massage and energy medicine. As a survivor of sexual and emotional trauma, I know how important it is for women to feel truly safe. It is from a trauma-informed place that I now specialize in holding sacred space for women of all ages and backgrounds. My aim is to help them remember who they came here to be and how divine and empowering it feels to come home to their natural body, both innocent and wild. I specialize in relaxation massage and use mindful presence, energy healing and body-reading skills during my sessions. I listen with my hands, allowing my intuition to guide my massage. My intention is to create a deeply connected, nurturing experience where muscular tension is released, and the nervous system is soothed. My personal journey into bodywork has been profoundly healing and enlightening, and I am inspired as ever to explore how bodywork deepens our connection to our body, soul, and spirit. I am a passionate about self care and maintain my own practices in meditation, energy healing, Qi Gong and conscious dance. I am committed to a lifelong journey of doing the work necessary and using my place of privilege to support a world that is safer, gentler, and more loving. I look forward to sharing my passion with you! Melanie

My business sign has arrived! 🎊🥰🥳🥰🎊
And wow… it looks so much better in person.
This might seem like a small thing to some people, but to me it feels like a big, beautiful milestone. After 18 years of doing massage, this is the first time I’ve ever had a proper sign for my practice.
There’s something powerful about tangible markers in life.
Little physical moments that say: this dream is real now.
So many soul-led businesses grow quietly at first — through word of mouth, through devotion, through showing up again and again for the work and the people who need it. Often for years before anything looks official from the outside.
And then one day… a sign arrives in the mail.
A real, physical symbol of something that has been growing in the heart for a long time.
A small but meaningful reminder that a dream, tended with care and persistence, slowly becomes a living thing in the world.
Feeling proud. Feeling grateful. And yes… probably going to admire this sign for a few days. 😄✨

Dear Vancouver & Comox Valley community 💛
I’ve been feeling into the collective atmosphere lately, and many of us are carrying more than we realise.
The current political and media climate is intense. The sheer volume of information—especially stories involving harm, abuse of power, and lack of accountability—can quietly activate old wounds in the body. Even when we don’t consciously follow the news, our nervous systems are listening.
For many people, this kind of coverage doesn’t land as “just information.”
It can stir anxiety, grief, anger, dissociation, or a deep sense of unease—especially for those with a history of trauma. These reactions aren’t weakness or over-sensitivity. They are intelligent, protective responses shaped by lived experience.
This is why tending to the nervous system right now matters so much. 🌿
Massage isn’t a luxury in times like these—it’s a form of regulation, grounding, and repair. A way to help the body remember safety, presence, and support.
At Wave Bodywork, sessions are offered as a quiet refuge from overwhelm. A place to come back into your body, your breath, and yourself—without having to explain or perform.

You don’t have to hold it all alone.
I’m here. 💛
At Wave Bodywork, care comes before numbers.
I offer sliding scale pricing because I understand that life moves in seasons.
There are times of abundance — the harvest of summer — and times that feel lean, heavy, or dry — the stillness of winter. Both are part of being human.
If you’re in a season where resources are flowing, your full payment helps sustain this space and supports others in our community.
If you’re in a quieter or more challenging season, you are still welcome here.
Pay what you can. No questions asked.
And if life is asking you to make too many decisions already, and you simply can’t fathom making one more — I’m here. You don’t have to figure it out alone. We can find what feels supportive together.
Wave Bodywork exists to care for bodies, hearts, and nervous systems — in all seasons of life ☀️🌧❄️💕

Well, just when I thought I was going to catch the ferry and sail away like a smooth sailor, my car decided to throw a little tantrum right near Nanaimo! I guess it wanted to stay on the island a bit longer. Guess I'm having an unexpected adventure today!
I welcome your positive vibes and prayers with an open heart. 💛
Vancouver clients; don't worry, I will make it to you eventually! May it be today! 🙏

The days are growing shorter, the rain a little steadier, and the forest quieter. It’s that tender time of year when nature shows us the art of release — letting go with such grace. The trees don’t resist the falling of their leaves; they simply trust the cycle.
I’ve been reflecting on this as the year begins to turn toward its close, and I came across a beautiful article about the 9-year cycle in numerology (creativenumerology.com/9-year-cycle). It speaks about how every nine years, we reach a point of completion — a natural ending before a new chapter begins.
✨ A Gentle Invitation to Reflect
If we tune into that rhythm, this season becomes more than just autumn — it becomes a sacred pause, a moment to integrate what we’ve lived and release what no longer fits.
You might take a few quiet moments this week to reflect:
🍂 What was happening in your life nine years ago?
🌿 What relationships, cycles, or stories have come full circle since then?
🌊 What wisdom have you gathered — and what are you ready to let go of?
Sometimes, it’s only when we pause to look back that we see how profoundly we’ve changed. The 9-year cycle invites us to honour those transformations, to bless what is complete, and to open gently toward what is next.
🕯️ Honouring Samhain & Our Ancestral Roots
As we approach Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of the darker half of the year, the veil between worlds grows thin. It’s a time to honour our ancestors — not only those in our family lines but all those whose lives and choices have shaped the world we inhabit.
Samhain invites us to remember — and to release. To reflect not just on what we’ve personally outgrown, but also on the beliefs, fears, and limitations we may have inherited from those who came before us.
Peter Crone, a teacher of human potential, tells a story that captures this so well:
“A woman spent her life trying to please everyone, terrified of disappointing others. When asked why, she realized her father’s love had always been conditional — given only when she achieved. She wasn’t broken; she was simply living out an inherited story. The moment she saw that, she could fi

Melanie Requet is a Certified Bodywork Practitioner with 12 years experience. She specializes in Deep Flow bodywork and uses mindful presence, energy healing and body-reading skills during her sessions. She 'listens' with her hands, allowing her intuition to guide her massage. Her intention is to create a deeply connected, nurturing experience where muscular tensions are released and the nervous system is deeply soothed.
Melanie's personal journey into bodywork has been a healing journey and she continues to explore how bodywork helps us connect with our body, heart and soul. She is committed to continued professional development and maintains her own practices in meditation, energy healing and embodiment through conscious dance and yoga.
"My aim is to create a safe and peaceful space where the nervous system can unwind, physical tensions can be released, the heart can open and the soul remembers home. I wish to help people to reconnect with themselves, to feel whole, to feel at home in their body."
Every session is tailored to your specific needs and is unique to you.
We will work with an intention based on how you are feeling physically, emotionally and energetically.
Some degree of energy healing is infused into every massage, and more specifically during Lomi Lomi sessions. With trust in my natural sensitivity and intuitive abilities, I invite the vibrational frequencies of Love, Kindness & Respect to support your healing, release and realignment.
My specialty is stress reducing massages, which can be very helpful if you are suffering from anxiety, insomnia or tension headaches. After a treatment you can expect to feel more grounded (calm and present in your body), connected to your inner guidance, and centered in your heart.
Each appointment includes: an essential-oil blend designed just for you, warm towel wraps for your feet, neck and face, alkaline water and a super food filled, vegan chocolate truffle.
