Practitioner bios

Melanie Hansen

Melanie Hansen, LMT

Licensed Massage Therapist · Medical Massage & Manual Therapy

Melanie graduated from Blue Heron Academy of Healing Arts and Sciences in 2005 (Medical Massage) and 2006 (Manual Therapy). After 2½ years in a clinical chiropractic setting, she made Healthy Balance Bodyworks her full-time focus.

She specializes in problem-focused massage—including TMJ disorder, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, migraine headaches, tendinitis, and fibromyalgia. Sessions may blend soft and deep tissue compressive massage (always within your comfort level), joint mobilization, stretching, and active isometric muscle contraction to restore mobility, increase range of motion, and decrease pain or inflammation.
