Massage Therapists near Pasadena, CA

My name is Mel. I have been working as a private masseuse for 10 years now. I absolutely love what I do, and I strive to provide a powerful healing experience that goes beyond your average massage. I am also a certified life coach and marma therapist and I believe that our thoughts and words have a major impact on our bodies and general well being. I focus on connecting and healing mind, body, and soul all together through the power of touch. I work out of my private location in DTLA in a secure building and with a full guest restroom available if necessary. I work by appointment only and they are best made 24-48hrs ahead.

I offer a natural, comprehensive, somatic approach to headache, migraine, stress, pain, tension, and trauma. I developed Transcranial Somatic Therapy (tST) in 1970. This protocol calms and resolves headache and migraine pain and its associated symptoms, such as light, sound, and smell sensitivity, nausea, and lethargy. Learn Self-tST as part of the Somatic Headache Care Program for Relief and Prevention. Self-care, hope restoration, and empowerment practices are powerful tools, as taught in The Headache Healer’s Handbook. I offer 1:1 and group sessions online; some in-person sessions.

My ideal client is someone who recognizes that the body heals itself when given appropriate opportunities through bodywork, and also shares and values the philosophy of the body, mind, spirit connection. My sessions are client-centered, and each session is unique. Effective communication is a key component in the therapist-client relationship, and I encourage each client to keep me informed during the session of any modifications they need.

I am Mr Reset for a reason - I unwind you at the seams; realigning your muscles • joints • nerves • body • mind. I’ll find where you’re hurting with the perfect pressure to melt away years of strain • frozen joint • nerve or muscle pain • anxiety • numbness • stuck emotions • join restrictions • injury / rehab support • so you’re feeling centered, in less to no pain, relieved of the busy nerves/ weight of the world, get deep sleep, and moving easier! I even give free tips to boost results.

Take time to take care of yourself with my in-home therapeutic massage to relax, balance, and breath in wellness energy bodywork. I specialize in muscle release and alignment, pain management, stretching utilizing passive and active range of motion facilitation. Active stretching helps my clients lengthen, strengthen, and condition their muscular fascia restoring flexibility. I also incorporate deep tissue, strain counterstrain, and myoskeletal therapy to release scar tissue in surrounding joints and areas difficult to release with common stretching. These techniques help realign muscle fibers for greater mobility and stability.
