Melissa Ramaekers, LMT (Pasadena Office)

I am passionate about my clients thriving and feeling great in their bodies. I began my massage therapy career in 2002 graduating from Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing of Culver City, CA. Over the years I have stayed dedicated to improving outcomes with clients through the ongoing pursuit of knowledge with continuing education and staying informed on new research and perspectives. I love to create a healing environment where I can help turn down the dial of the outside world so each client can experience a sense of peace and relief.

My style combines deeply relaxing full body massage with specialized techniques tailored to address each clients’ goals. I can safely adapt sessions to accommodate recent surgery, acute and chronic injuries, and clinical issues. I have extensive experience working with pregnant people in all trimesters and postnatal. I also have a special focus in supporting people in active cancer treatment and long term recovery, especially those experiencing long term effects of treatment.

When I am not busy providing first class massage to my clients, I enjoy adventures with my kid in nature, making things out of fabric, reading, and wandering along the local trails.


Tai chiarelli, lMT (carlsbad office)

I’m Tai, a therapeutic massage therapist dedicated to your wellness. I believe deeply in the healing power of massage - when we reconnect with our bodies, we can support hormonal balance by easing stress, improving circulation and lymphatic flow, and calming the nervous system.

I combine gentle, intuitive touch with targeted modalities, including sports massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage (MLD), and cupping therapy. Each session is personalized to release tension, reduce stress, aid postpartum recovery, and support everyday self-care. My goal is to help you feel balanced, energized, and empowered in your body. 

When I’m not in the treatment room, you can find me practicing hot yoga or keeping up with my two boys - my favorite and most rewarding role of all.
