My name is Melody, and I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2006. Approximately 5 years into my career I found myself dealing with elbow and shoulder injuries. A friend suggested I look into Bowen Therapy as it was easy on the therapist's body. After training I was blown away by the results, which transformed my approach to healing. I believe in the power of gentle techniques to achieve remarkable results, and I’ve dedicated myself to learning various neuromuscular modalities that support both therapist and client. When I'm not helping others, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, paddle boarding, hiking, or spending time with my dogs and community at church. One of my favorite mantras is... listen to the whispers before they become screams!
MY SERVICES
Bowen Therapy
Spinal Flow
Emmett Technique
Bowen Therapy is a holistic method that employs gentle touch to trigger healing responses within the body's nervous, musculoskeletal, and fascial systems. By considering the body as a complete unit, it activates the autonomic nervous system, fostering balance and well-being at both the structural and energetic levels. Suitable for all individuals, from infants to athletes and seniors, Bowen Therapy effectively addresses a wide range of conditions, such as back and neck pain, sports injuries, hip and knee problems, migraines, frozen shoulder, as well as digestive and respiratory problems, and so much more. Discover the benefits of this gentle yet impactful therapy for enhanced health and vitality.
With Spinal Flow we work directly with the nervous system to address the hidden stressors that can accumulate in our bodies. These stressors—physical, chemical, and emotional—can create spinal blockages over time, impacting the flow of energy and communication within our nervous system, leading to the root cause of pain, dysfunction and disease. By accessing the dura mater of the spinal cord in specific areas, we facilitate the movement of cerebral spinal fluid up and down the spine allowing your body’s innate intelligence and ability to dissolve the layers of the blockages and thereby reconnect to bring about self healing. Spinal Flow can help with a wide range of issues including chronic pain, stress, anxiety, emotional trauma, sleep and posture. Experience the transformative power of Spinal Flow as we guide you toward a state of balance and well-being.
The EMMETT technique is a muscle release method. We use a sequence of muscle activation points to unlock muscle memory. This activation gives the brain the opportunity to set up a new state of homeostasis and provides an opportunity for re-alignment of the body. This modality often gives immediate change in range of motion as well as pain relief. It can be a stand alone modality or mixed with others.
Emmett Lymphatics
MSTR® Scar Work
The lymphatic system is essential for maintaining your body's fluid balance, waste removal, and immune support. It works in tandem with the circulatory system and influences various body systems, including the nervous, muscular, digestive, and immune systems. When lymph nodes, ducts, vessels, or tissues become blocked, infected or inflamed, the immune system can struggle to function properly. Increasing lymphatic drainage can help with acute pain, injuries, immune deficiencies, constipation, swelling, congestion, sinus/flu symptoms, pre/post surgery, and fatigue, making it a component of overall health.
Scars form when collagen is laid down randomly with no pattern after wounds, injuries or surgeries. Scars can remain active for years and grow downwardly and attach to other surfaces in the body. This can impede range of motion, have long term effects on neural pathways, blood and lymph flow, and affect us on emotional and psychological levels. When fascia (connective tissue) is restricted due to scarring, it inhibits the normal healing and movement process. Fortunately, scar release doesn't have to be a painful experience, and with the MSTR® method, it's gentle and effective, providing relief and enhanced mobility. Embrace healing and discover the benefits of scar management.
Discover the power of your brain and nervous system as the master controllers of your body's functions. Through gentle techniques, I work to influence your nervous system, promoting healing and balance throughout your entire being. Experience a transformative approach that connects mind and body for optimal health. Let us embark on this journey to restore harmony and wellness together.

Both as a receiver of her work, and as a Bowen practitioner of more than two decades, I can tell you that she's VERY GOOD at what she does, both in her technique(s) and in who she IS: the stand she takes for her clients, the kindness and gentleness with which she treats. If you want to heal, if you're willing to heal, you'll not regret going to Melody Dawson.

Melody is such a wonderful person. She is very knowledgeable in her field and explains things thoroughly. She has such a gentle touch and I found physical and emotional healing in both her techniques. She’s also been amazing at helping my little one with some neck issues. Highly, highly recommend!
AL
The Spinal Flow technique was subtle and gentle but powerful. I could feel shifts in my energy and tension release. After the session I felt lighter, more aligned and had some emotional clarity and calm that stayed with me after the session. Physical relief of pains all over my body. I had a deeper sense of wellbeing and had better quality sleep.
Melody you were absolutely wonderful. I felt that you were tuned into my body’s needs and created a space where I could fully relax and trust the work. Thank you for your care!
