Happy New Year's Eve!

I would like to say Thank You for each of my clients. I realized today that some of you have been loyal clients going on ten years! I sincerely thank you for trusting me with your bodywork. Massage Therapy is a deep passion of mine and I enjoy learning new things at continuing education classes as well as new things that you present me with too. I'm blessed to have a growing local small business and I thank you each and The Lord above for all He does.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on the table in 2026! I have started my search on this year's continuing education classes and I'm excited to see where it leads and what else I can bring to the table to better serve you and our community.

☆Just a reminder☆
My schedule is filling in rather quickly for January with only a small amount of appointments left the last two weeks. If you need an appointment, please reach out and we will get you on the schedule.
If you need to cancel, I understand people get sick and need to reschedule last minute, especially the season we are in now. I do ask that if you need to reschedule for any reason that you reach out ASAP so it doesn't put a gap in my schedule and I can do my best to attempt to fill the slot. I appreciate your help with this.

I'm excited to see you in the New Year of 2026 with high hopes of good health and a positive, encouraging year!
Thank you, and much love you to all!

Hello, everyone!
I want to thank you each for being a loyal client to me. I have been in business now going on my 12th year. I still love massage therapy and enjoy learning new techniques that I can bring to the table for you. With the prices rising in the stores and the continuing education classes that I need to take to keep my license status active, I have to increase the massage prices. This price increase will take effect on November 1, 2025.

A 60 minute massage session will go up by $5.
A 90 minute massage session will go up by $10.
A 2 hour session will go up by $10.
What this looks like:
A 60 minute massage session will be $95.
A 90 minute massage session will be $135.
A 90 minute hot stone massage will be $145
A 2 hour massage session will be $190
A 2 hour hot stone massage session will be $200
Please keep in mind that paying with cash or check made payable to Melissa Wilkes gives you the better deal. Paying with a card is still available for those who choose but is $5 higher.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. I appreciate each and every one of you. You are all special to me. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to seeing you on the table at your next scheduled appointment.
