Medical Massage By Melissa

02/22/2026

Hey all! As most of you know, I have been battling health issues for a long time, 4 1/2yrs to be exact. In this time, I’ve had many diagnostic procedures, tests, doctor’s visits, trips to the ED, and one hospital stay all with very little answers or help. I have not gotten any better. Instead, my condition has steadily gotten worse. Massage is a very physically demanding profession; it has been hard to maintain stamina and strength throughout all of my setbacks and managing daily symptoms. After much consideration I have decided that it’s best for me to take a step back at this time and focus on rest and upcoming treatments in the hopes that healing can take place.
I’m currently scheduled to have yet another diagnostic procedure on 4/28 which will require me to wear a monitor for the remainder of the week. I won’t be able to work with it on, so I will be off that week. After this I will be taking the month of May off. I know that this is a huge inconvenience for so many of you because it disrupts your massage schedules. I take the role I play in your continued progress, health and wellbeing very seriously, and wholeheartedly care about all of you which is why this was not an easy decision. This has to happen in order for me to continue to do what I love to do.
We will schedule your appointments for June when I see you at your April appointments so that you are all able to pick up where we left off without more of a lapse in your care.
During my time off I ask that you only contact if absolutely necessary. Well wishes are always welcome however this is a much needed break away from all stressors, and since I am a one woman ran business there is only me to handle scheduling issues which has become very overwhelming over the past several months. Please know your schedules and limitations when booking ahead. Prioritize your appointments with me, and if something should come up during my time off, please contact with those conflicts on June 1st.
I’m very sorry for the disruption to your bodywork schedules, and hope that you all understand my need for this break.

With gratitude,
Melissa Manhart, LMT

There is still time to book your self-love, anti-couples massage in February because massage time is YOU time.🩷💆🏼‍♀️

This was not a problem until recently, so I need to post a gentle reminder of my cancellation policy. Any client who cancels 3 appointments in a row will be charged in full for the 3rd appointment. Before booking with me make sure you have your schedule with you and plan accordingly. Please understand that I can only help you if you’re committed to your appointments. Medical massage doesn’t work if you’re not committed to your health and healing. I’m here for you, you have to be here for you too.
I also feel the need to remind everyone again that this is my livelihood. When you cancel I have to fill your spot which becomes increasingly harder the more you book appointments taking empty spots only to cancel them later on. Let’s all be respectful of each other’s time and needs.

Snowy morning meditation and yoga.❄️🧘‍♀️

I started doing yoga 10yrs ago, but really starting settling into a daily practice after herniating three discs in my lumbar spine which then caused left SI joint dysfunction. Starting my mornings with a daily yoga practice has helped make a huge difference in how I feel both mentally and physically. It’s rare that something would happen that I have to skip a morning, but if I do then I feel off for the rest of the day. I talk to my clients all the time about the importance of stretching thier muscles. This isn’t just something I say because the research supports it. It’s something I say because I live it and know it first hand.
Chronic illness brought me to meditation which is newer to me. I’ve been meditating for 2 years, and still trying to settle into a solid practice. It’s ok to take your time with these things. The important thing is taking those baby steps to make the time to do it when you feel called.
Do you have a daily yoga or meditation practice? What brought you to it?

Namaste✨

That time of the year is upon us. The days are longer and getting colder, and it’s cold and flu season. Book a lymphatic drainage massage, and add red light therapy to boost your immune system and help ease the winter doldrums. I’m currently accepting new clients for lymphatic drainage massage, and have December openings. Message me to book your spot.

I commissioned Vintage Vibes by Valerie to make this little beauty for me. Check out Valerie’s one-of-a-kind works of art on her page, or her booth at Beauty Bee Storefront: On the Trail. She’s super creative, her work is gorgeous, and every piece comes from the heart. They make great gifts for yourself or someone else. Thanks again, Valerie!!❤️🍄🐌
