Melinda Stephanie, Certified Massage Therapist |
Melinda's foundation for bodywork reflects her approach to life; with focus on inner tranquility, joy and balance. Her sessions are nourishing, restorative and effective; anointing the body with warm botanical oils, rhythmic strokes and specific acupressure holds to encourage the flow of prana (life force). She assists in bringing one into a heightened state of awareness; utilizing breath and intention. This immersion into deep stillness allows the nervous system to observe any resistance (pain, tension, stress...) that is inhibiting the natural flow of wellness and to initiate a self-healing response. Limiting patterns of thought and habits that are crystallized in the body are allowed to soften, disarm and ultimately...be released.
Her background weaves Yoga and Ayurvedic principles into her bodywork. She integrates years of her own personal yoga practice, intensive training as a yoga instructor and education at the Ayurvedic Institute. Eastern medicine and philosophy blend with her training and work as a massage therapist in beautiful Maui, HI; creating a whole being approach to her therapy.
Modalities offered: Hawaiian Lomi lomi, Hot & Cold Stone Therapy, Swedish, Shiatsu, Pre & Post Natal, Chair Massage, Reflexology, Body Scrubs, Polarity and Pranic Balancing.
