Melissa Flores, AAS, CNMT
Advanced Neuromuscular & Medical Massage Clinician

Melissa Flores started her training at the National Holistic Institute, where she completed an 800 hour core massage program and developed a strong foundation across a wide range of modalities, including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Thai Massage, Shiatsu, and Prenatal Massage. Driven by a passion for understanding the body and helping clients manage pain, she continued her education with an additional 450 hours in Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy, followed by advanced study in Medical Massage where she received an Associate in Applied Science as an Advanced Neuromuscular and Medical Massage Clinician through NHI's AAS program.

Prior to opening her practice, she worked alongside chiropractors, applying neuromuscular and rehabilitative techniques in a clinical environment. She has also worked in spa and wellness settings, including an Ayurvedic clinic where she practiced Abhyanga massage ( a traditional oil-based therapy focused on nervous system relaxation). This diverse background allows her to meet clients wherever they are — from those seeking relaxation and stress relief to pain management and injury rehabilitation, including:

• Stress relief and nervous system support

• Chronic pain and postural imbalances

• Car accident injuries and whiplash

• Sports injuries and athletic recovery

• Post-surgical rehabilitation

• Repetitive strain and overuse conditions

Every session begins with an assessment to identify the root cause of your discomfort. Using advanced techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, PNF stretching, and lymphatic facilitation, treatment is tailored specifically to your needs and goals — whether that's recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or improving your overall mobility and well-being.
