Overview

Hello! I’m a queer and trans LMT based out of a private studio in Portland.

I specialize in therapeutic bodywork that combines full body relaxation with a focus on treating areas needing extra support. I'm experienced in Swedish massage, myofascial release, cupping, deep tissue, craniosacral, and neuromuscular facilitation techniques. My passion for holistic healing led me to over 800 hours of learning where I deepened my understanding of how nervous system regulation through breath and touch supports the unwinding of...

I specialize in therapeutic bodywork that combines full body relaxation with a focus on treating areas needing extra support. I'm experienced in Swedish massage, myofascial release, cupping, deep tissue, craniosacral, and neuromuscular facilitation techniques. My passion for holistic healing led me to over 800 hours of learning where I deepened my understanding of how nervous system regulation through breath and touch supports the unwinding of stress and tension on a physical level. Through our work together, I hope to bring you more ease and joy.

I’m happy to work with individuals of all sexualities whether you’re gay or straight, races, sizes, and disabilities. My studio is a judgement free zone where I create space for you to show up authentically, ready to receive professional care.

You can reach me via text or email.

Testimonials

Gathered by Mel from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Dec. 20, 2025 in Portland, OR (in-studio)

Mel was incredibly professional- from the booking form, to the thoughtful touches in his studio, to his communication before and during the massage. Mel found the tight spots I’ve been dealing with, and when I got up I felt not only blissed out and relaxed, but ready to take on the day. I can tell he cares about this work as well as his clients.

Nov. 10, 2025 in Portland, OR (in-studio)

Mel seriously has some magic hands! From when I walked into his studio to when I got off the table, I felt extremely listened to. He addressed the problem areas in my shoulders and low back while keeping the atmosphere super relaxing for my stressed out nervous system. I’ll be back for another massage!
