Melanie Requet
Empowering women to create more freedom in their Body-Mind & Spirit
"My aim is to create a safe and sacred space where the nervous system can unwind, physical tensions can be released, the heart can open and the soul remembers home.
I wish to help women to reconnect with themselves, to feel whole, to feel at home in their body."
A Bit About Me
I am a massage practitioner & energy healer. I am devoted to helping others to reclaim their sovereign bodies: physical, emotional, and energetic.
I have travelled the world to seek out traditional massage teachings. I have received over 3 thousand hours of training, and I have been practicing massage full time for 16 years. I feel blessed to have found my vocation.
As a trauma survivor myself, I know how important it is for women to feel truly safe in order to be able to heal. It is from a trauma-informed place that I now specialize in holding sacred space for women of all ages and backgrounds. My aim is to help them remember who they came here to be and how divine and empowering it feels to come home to their natural body, both innocent and wild. My satisfied clients include babies, children, teens, pregnant mothers, women of all ages and stages.
I specialize in holding space for therapists, healers, and care takers that are looking for a sacred space to fully surrender and be held with skill, sensitivity, and care.
I use mindful presence, energy healing and body-reading skills during my sessions. I listen with my hands, allowing my intuition to guide my massage. My intention is to create a deeply connected, nurturing experience where muscular tension is released, and the nervous system is soothed.
My personal journey into bodywork has been profoundly healing and enlightening, and I am as inspired as ever to explore how bodywork deepens our connection to our body, soul, and spirit. I am a passionate about self care and maintain my own practices in meditation, energy healing, Qi Gong and conscious dance.
I am committed to a lifelong journey of doing the work necessary and using my place of privilege to support a world that is safer, gentler, and more loving.
I respectfully acknowledge that the land that I live, work and play on is the Unceded Traditional Territory of the K’omoks Nation. I give thanks to the keepers of these lands, in spirit and in the flesh, past and present and to all of creation who nourishes this land. Thank You. May the steps I walk on this sacred earth be in peace. May I cultivate a loving and kind relationship with all sentient life.
