Melissa's goal with every therapeutic session is to have her client leave with more range of motion, tensions released and feeling rejuvenated, as well as, holding the knowledge of what tension in their body may mean for them emotionally.

As part of her self-care journey, Melissa wanted to share with you the origin of the name Just Be You. The name Melissa derives from Greek origin meaning honeybee. In Greek Mythology, Melissa was a sprite or mystical spirit of nature who cared for the infant god Zeus with honey. Because of this and Melissa’s nurturing nature, she wanted to include a honeybee in her logo. Everyone deserves self-care. Everyone deserves to be themselves. “Just Be You” is meant to be a place where you can be you, too. Melissa realizes the value in self-care and wants her clients to know that this is their time. Even if it is only for a short while.
