Melanie A. Richmond, L.M.T., is the owner of Absolute Wellness Massage Therapy. She has been a body worker for over eleven years. She graduated from the Giving Tree Cottage Massage Therapy School in Nacogdoches, Texas in 1997. She has received advanced training at Hands On Therapy in Longview and Tyler, TX and Stone School of Massage in Tyler, TX. She is committed to continuing to add to her specialized massage therapy training each year to better serve her clients. Melanie specializes in stress reduction and helping to relieve her client's chronic pain. She believes that stress causes "dis"ease and illness in the body so the reduction and/or elimination of stress is imperative in our body's ability to remain healthy and strong. Even though Swedish massage is the most widely known form of massage, Melanie uses a blend of Swedish and other massage and energy techniques in order to tailor each session specifically for each client. She specializes in Trigger Point Therapy, Pre-natal, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Integrated Bodywork and Reiki.
Melanie also believes in the body, mind and spirit connection. She believes that there must be a balance of the three in order to maintain optimum health. She has seen incredible positive results with her clients' mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness through their commitment to regular massage therapy and energy work.
Testimonial from an Absolute Wellness client,Teresa Garcia:
"What a great way to get the word out in behalf of the best therapist I've ever been lucky enough to meet. I cannot explain the joys of getting a two hour massage by you, Melanie. It is a treat with immeasurable benefits. It's better than therapy, and much less inexpensive. I have had many massages and enjoyed each of them, but your massages are like no others I've ever had.You've given me wonderful advice when I asked questions about running and lessening the strain on a very old and tired body. Wish I could put one of your massages in all my loved ones stockings. My 14 year old niece is running cross country and wanted me to rub her back "hard", and I promised her that I would treat her to one of your body massages. After feeling some familiar knots in her back and shoulders, I knew where I could direct her- Absolute Wellness!" Testimonial courtesy of our facebook page
