Melissa Hawkins

Melissa Hawkins has dedicated her work to the empowerment and well being of others. After 16 years in education, she began her journey in the healing arts as a Yoga Teacher in 2016 and continues to grow and learn in her practice. In 2018, Melissa underwent Thai Massage training in Bangkok, Thailand at the historical Wat Po Traditional Thai Medical School. This experience not only trained her in Thai Yoga Therapeutics but, it also had a profound impact on her outlook, and pursuit to live a more creative and spiritual existence. Since then, she has continued to dive deep, furthering her skill set in massage therapy and the healing arts. Melissa believes that how you do one thing is how you do everything, and strives to approach her work with a sense of ‘metta’ (compassionate, kindheartedness) enabling her clients to fortify their physical and spiritual well being through therapeutic massage and yoga.

When Melissa is not working you might find her dancing in the kitchen; “I just love culinary adventures!” She also loves spending time with her family, reading, hiking, walking her dogs, traveling, and lounging in hammocks. “It’s the simple things that make me happy. Noticing and finding beauty in the seemingly mundane, and ordinary moments is like the cherry on top of my ice cream.”
