Melissa Katherine Prentice
Melissa Katherine Prentice grew up on the sandy, sunny beaches of Hollywood, Florida. At the age of 12 she discovered her love for healthy food and found a deep connection with nutrition. Melissa spent many years in the health food industry as both an enthusiast and as a raw foods chef. Love of nutrition helped to lead her on a path of whole-body healing.
In 2007 Melissa moved to Boulder, Colorado where her passion for health was fueled by the immense natural beauty and activity that surrounded her. Helping people become and stay healthy by the eating right is how Melissa can give back to the world which provides so much for her. In 2009 Melissa completed her Yoga teaching certifications, and in early 2011 she graduated from BCMT and became a licensed and registered massage therapist. With her love of healthy eating, massage therapy, and Yoga, Melissa is able to help those she touches establish vibrant health both from within and from without.
Melissa calls her style of bodywork Intuitive Deep Tissue Massage. In this work she combines Swedish massage, Trigger Point therapy, Pranayama, and Energy Work. Her depth of touch is informed and grounded by her foundation in Yoga practice. The yogic principle of Sava (Service) is where she derives the passion for her bodywork. Her sessions are fun, creative, therapeutic, and relaxing.
You will often see Melissa wearing glitter, and she wants to remind all of us that we sparkle. She has a dog, a cat, and a husband, and she loves them all so much. When she is not caring for clients or students, some call it working, you can find her playing, bicycling, shopping at the farmers’ market, hula hooping, glittering, and just generally having a good time on planet Earth.
Love and light to all!!!
"It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity."
