Meet Me, Melissa Banno

Directions & Contact Info

Here’s what my clients are saying…

Melissa’s massage was different than I’ve ever had! She used different techniques that I’d never experienced, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! My mind and body both felt better the next day! I highly recommend her!

Carma D.

Melissa is awesome!!! I’ve been going to her for a year. She has helped me so much. If I could give more stars I would!!! I can’t say enough good things about her!!!

James L.

We went for a couples massage and it was the most relaxing! Best massage, we will definitely be back soon 🥰

Camren L.

Melissa helped me when I was recovering from a shoulder injury. Her knowledgeable and caring approach was just what I needed.

Racheli V.

I have had many massages over the years and none of them compare to the massage I received today from Melissa. As others have said, this is not the massage you are used to. Her technique is something you have to experience. I went in due to neck pain, shoulder/arm pain & constant headaches. After an hour of this therapeutic massage, I felt improvement for the first time in almost 6 months. My pain is not gone but even 2 hours later, I still feel the improvement. The headache I had going in was gone when I left and so far has not started again. She also did not spend time on areas that were not bothering me, strictly focused on releasing muscle tension & improving movement in the problem areas. She also gave me some good relaxation techniques that I had not heard before. If you are having pain, definitely go see Melissa. If you are not having pain & just want a massage to relax & renew, definitely go see Melissa. I already made my second appointment. Not only are her skills well developed, she is very caring & personable. She is all about her customers’ feeling safe & comfortable. Nakedness is not necessary. Undress as much or as little as you like. She doesn’t use a bunch of oil which is nice. The reviews are legit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Christine S.

I went to Melissa for relief after several weeks of hip pain. The doctor appts didn’t result in any conclusions and I thought maybe some personalized attention would help. Melissa, as always, made sure she understood my area of concern and explained every approach to her process. I felt extremely relaxed and open to her suggestions. After one hour I can honestly say I felt like some pressure had been released. It’s hard to explain her technique but it works! I was sore several hours later (to be expected) but the next morning walking in to my office, I noticed how smoothly I was moving….like I was gliding! I would highly recommend Melissa for her wholesome healing services. It’s a very unique experience that has positive outcomes.

Angelia J.

I started visiting Melissa about a year ago. I was having hard time with my lower back, degenerative disc disease and scoliosis. Overtime, my symptoms improved significantly. Don’t expect to get same old same old massage with Melissa. She does her own magic combined with aromatherapy, meditation, breathing exercises, etc. It is always a good time when I go there. I started with twice a month visits but I look forward to changing my visits once a week. I strongly recommend giving her a try and I know you will be hooked!

Asligul E.

Melissa is amazing! She truly listens to understand what is going on with me/my body each session and I leave feeling so much better physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Aileen W.

I loveeeee her !! She is so amazing, can’t wait to return..You will have to go for yourself I promise you , you’ll be over and beyond satisfied with Ms. Melissa! She’s a blessing to all!

Flaw B.

Melissa has changed my life. Pain from past injuries and wear and tear, I couldn’t even stand up straight and struggled to get my daily work done. I have been going to Melissa for about 8 months now and I am a new person.

Christy P.

I had a great experience with Melissa. After the session I left feeling refreshed and free of nagging pain. I would definitely recommend!

Stephanie E.

She really helped me with my pain!

Talia H.

I’ve been a client for a number of years. Best way to describe is when I go in some times my shoulders, neck and arms are a bundle of tension. When Melissa finishes I feel like a marionette whose strings have been untangled and straightened. I feel calm and peaceful, and put back in correct order.

Beth W.

I have been going to Melissa for years. After a mastectomy many years ago, she was the only one who was help me with constant neck pain. She recently helped me with hip and lower back pain so that I was able to take a strenuous, active trip to Israel! I highly recommend Melissa!!

Lindsay

By far the best experience I’ve had with a massage. Melissa really helps you get in touch with your body, mind, and breathing. I had my first session today and I feel like a brand new person with no bit of tension or stress!

Vee W.

The best! 5-stars aren’t enough for Melissa.

Loretta S.

Kind, gentle, amazing!

Sharon C.

I have been going to Melissa for well over 10 years. She is one of the most talented therapists in the industry. Her knowledge of your bodies anatomy and Skeletal system is second to none. I have neck and shoulder issues, and Melissa has been a lifesaver to keep me mobile and help with my pain.

Jason H.

Would recommend for anyone feeling any sort or physical discomfort or stress! Not only a great massage, but a full body mindfulness experience!

Shimmy J

I have had 3 wonderful, and very unique, sessions with Melissa. She intuitively knows where I am holding my stress and is able to release it. Definitely an ongoing part of my Wellness Routine

Mark K.

Everyone I love and care about should experience WHMT with Melissa. She is totally professional with wit, weirdness and wackiness to make one feel comfortable. I had a goal to reset my nervous system and to detox my system from stress and poor eating habits. Melissa took the reins and the noticeable outcomes of me moving better and thinking better and feeling better are exactly what I was seeking from a massage therapist. Melissa’s passion for what she does comes out as care. Melissa’s skill in what she does comes out as understanding.I am so very happy with my therapeutic massage experiences with Melissa.

Glenda F.

Melissa is such a kind soul! One of the best massage therapists I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Everything was impeccable. Not only did she give me a great massage, she provided an experience. She also walked me through some of the things I could do to avoid the aches and pains I was having. Thank you Melissa for providing me with a safe and comfortable environment to relax.

clarisa O.

Melissa is excellent! She is so knowledgeable and skilled, and I feel great every time I see her. I appreciate how she goes above and beyond, too, sharing tips and videos to continue body awareness and healing in between sessions. I’m so glad she was recommended to me.

Andrea V.

Melissa is hands down ( 😉) the most talented, intuitive, AMAZING massage therapist you will ever encounter in your life. I came to her many (20?)years ago a non- believer in massage in terms of “therapeutic value” . I am a registered nurse from the 70’s….. skeptical by nature and training.Fast forward to 2022: I”m 65 years old, still playing sports , and Melissa keeps me happy in those and in so many other aspects of my life. I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough to anyone who wants a taste of true release. I”m not sure how she does what she does, but I no longer care, or am trying to figure it out : When I see on my calendar that I have an appointment with Melissa, I smile inwardly , give thanks, and promise , “ I”ll be there”. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Cindy W.

I am so grateful for Melissa and for her exceptional thoughtfulness, knowledge, and skill. I trust her absolutely and look foreword to continuing our sessions. Highest recommendation!

Eric S.

I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough! I leave every session feeling deeply renewed. She has a calming, soothing presence that I respond very well to, both physically and spiritually. She offers various healing practices as part of each massage session, depending on the client’s comfort with them. I have been seeing her for about 6 months and she’s really become an important part of my healing journey!

Maria M.

I have been a proponent of alternative healing modalities for 20+ years incorporating acupuncture, cryotherapy, light therapy, massage, reflexology, reiki and yoga. I consider Melissa to be the “maestro of massage”.

Gary B.

The reviews do not lie! My first visit was amazing. I will definitely be back!

Brooklyn R.

I’ve been going to Melissa for massage therapy for a few years now. I have always loved her special healing touch, including her unique reiki therapy. She helped reduced the ringing in my right ear from tinnitus. She explained how therapy applied to the ears can help minimize the ringing. I highly recommend Melissa at Wholesome Healing!

Linda

This was my first visit with Melissa and I found her to be very caring and professional and sensitive to my needs. It was a very positive experience and I look forward to seeing her again.

Christine T.

I have never had a massage before, after reading her great reviews I am so glad that I gave Melissa a chance. She is so good at what she does! I left today feeling so much better in the areas that I was having problems with. I highly recommend her for all your needs!

Liza C.

I have never had such an amazing massage experience. Melissa helped my body find a way to release tension that I had not ever experienced. I walk out of sessions with her feeling balanced, clear, open and free. Instead of working hard to release my tension through pressure, Melissa somehow gently encourages my body to relax fully and to let go of old stress, tension and trauma. I am so grateful she was recommended to me! She is really special.

Catherine G.

Melissa is great! Is a different technique and the variation feels good throughout my body as it’s stretched. Wonderful feel! My neck feels better. Thank you Melissa!

Irma

I have been experiencing a pinched nerve in my neck and shoulder area for a few months now. I had tried physical therapy, a chiropractor, and have been on medication for months. I had a relapse one day and decided to try a massage. Looking on Google I found Melissa came highly recommended. Scheduling an appointment with her was easy and she got me in quickly. What I was expecting and what I got was two different things. I expected a traditional massage and walked away with an entire body experience. She helped me relax mentally which I learned was my biggest battle and taught me skills that have helped me be pain free since I’ve been home. I slept like a baby that afternoon and it was almost like I released all the stress and pain in my body. She comes highly recommended! Thanks again Melissa and I’m sure you just made another client 😉.

BlessedBeyond I.

I was looking for a massage therapist to help with some back and neck pain and I’m so glad I found Melissa! I submitted a request on her website and she was very fast in her response. Her communication was top-notch before, during, and after the massage. She went above and beyond to make me comfortable and address my concerns. I booked my second session before I left!

Mallorie P.

I initially started seeing Melissa to address some aches and pains and she has been amazing! She is very professional, is an excellent communicator, and I feel renewed after every visit. I highly recommend!

Nikki & Richard J.

Melissa‘s level of expertise as a massage therapist benefits me a lot being that my lifestyle requires a great deal of physicality.

James N.

Melissa’s been my massage therapist for over five years. Her knowledge, adaptability and genuine concern for my health needs is wonderful. She’s worked with me through sports injuries, surgeries and stressful times, and kept me flexible, healthy and happy.I’ve been an advocate of massage therapy for years and Melissa has been, by far, the best massage therapist I’ve ever had.

Barbara K.

Wonderful and calming! Definitely worth checking out if you have stiff muscles/are under lots of stress!

Emma D.

Great massage experience. I have osteoarthritis in my right ankle – my ankle has never felt so good. Thank you, Melissa for your expertise and words of wisdom!!

katie D.

Excellent!! Very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and precise. Professional environment. Addressed medical issues very well.

Jeremy D.

Melissa’s office is my serenity place. She listens very carefully what I want in the session, and customized for me. I requested to add affirmation in the session. Whatever I need a guide for that day, she gently and carefully gives me her creative wise words during the massage. I just feel safe and go to deep relaxation with those positive words. During the session, she is always with me. I can feel if a massage therapist is thinking different stuff other than me during the session. But Melissa is always focused about my body and condition. After the session, my body and my mind are always relaxed, but also have more energy and happier feeling. She is beautiful massage therapist inside and out！！！メリッサさんは日本語がとても上手なマッサージセラピストです。そして、お客様が何を求めてきたのか、じっくりと聞いて、ベストの施術をしてくれます。私は、マッサージ中にアファメーション（ポジティブな言葉）を入れ込んだマッサージをお願いしました。そんな無理なお願いも、優しく聞いてくれ、素晴らしい施術をしてくれました。施術中も、彼女が１００％私のことを思ってマッサージしてくれているのがわかり、感動しました。施術後は心身ともにリラックスしたと同時に元気と幸せ気分が倍増したのを感じました。アメリカで頑張る日本人の皆さんに、ぜひ、おすすめです！！

Ayako B.

I came to Melissa with some stiffness and mobility issues in my back. Melissa did not dig in and force the stiffness out of the area. However, she invited the muscles to release indirectly through other more pleasant releases and movement.I left feeling much better without having to endure a deep tissue grinding of the muscles in my back.

J.P. U.

My first experience at Massage Therapy Bodywork with Melissa was amazing. I have experienced nerve issues with my right foot and leg. However, when I finished my session my whole body felt great. Melissa’s time management, communication, and gentleness were on point. I am looking forward to my next session.

Vivian V.

An extremely unique and effective bodywork experience!

Lauren S.

What a delightfully relaxing and whole body experience. Melissa is gifted in her practice of massage and has a technique that not only makes sense but leaves you feeling whole again and well cared for. I highly recommend Melissa’s services and look forward to my next massage.

MARGARET B.

Do yourself a favor, and schedule an appointment! Not only is she good at what she does, she approaches the session with a strong foundation of respect & insight.
