A heartfelt thank you to Melanie for the delicious massage I received last night in her beautiful in-house space in Cumberland. It was a fully sensual and divine experience — from rose essence being dropped under my tongue, to a prayer invocation shared before we began, a heated table nourishing my skin, my body, feet, hands, and head being lovingly massaged, and warm towels placed on my neck and back. I felt like Cleopatra being pampered.
Melanie weaves energy work into her devotional massage, creating a truly sacred experience. She even offers a first-time discount! Times are wild out there, and our bodies need extra nurturing right now. If you’re in need of deep nourishment, this is it. I floated out of there with the biggest smile on my face. Thank you for such a sacred gift!

Melanie is a warm, kind, gracious human with incredible experience in provided well-rounded massages. The experience is relaxing and spiritually uplifting. She has a gift in nurturing and I’d recommend her to any woman needing support. In addition, her space is perfection and the extra touches are greatly appreciated.

Melanie is a truly gifted bodyworker. I recently had a massage with her, and it was absolutely amazing. I felt really relaxed right away. Melanie has a very warm and calming presence and the space is beautiful, too. That night, I had the best sleep I've had in months. I am so, so grateful and can't wait to go back for another massage. Thank you, Melanie!

I began working with Melanie for nervous system reset therapy, and after just a few sessions, I noticed a profound shift—my breathing has become more natural and steady. Melanie has a true gift for creating a space where I feel deeply supported and held. I’m incredibly grateful to receive the healing she so generously offers.

With deep gratitude to Melanie Requet for creating healing space and magic. Her bodywork is truly a gift and I can highly recommend her as a practitioner. Her new addition to her offering is Lomi Lomi which I just experienced this morning... profound insights and openings in my body and heart... THANK YOU!

Melanie Requet has a bounty of skills, compassion, heart- centered presence and light to call in powerful healing energy.
I easily relax and rest in trust as her hands clear that which needs to leave my body-mind-spirit.
Then she opens me up to invite a deep healing love and presence from my own spirit helpers, in addition to those who work alongside her.
Felt like a true Goddess, nurtured, awakened and enlivened.
Would not hesitate to recommend her to any women I meet.

I was fortunate enough to see Melanie for bodywork throughout my whole pregnancy. She has such a caring and loving touch and understanding of the body which create the perfect combination for deep healing. She is also highly intuitive and was able to develop such a great connection with the baby which really helped in every session. I visited her when I found out my baby was breech and I am sure she had much to do in helping the baby turn on its own even in the later weeks of my pregnancy. She is an amazing healer and I am so grateful that I had her support me through this magical journey. As a client and a doula I highly recommend visiting her during pregnancy, she will make the experience so much more enjoyable!

I had the most wonderful Lomi Lomi massage with Melanie. The experience started with the warm welcome and stepping into her inviting sanctuary. Healing touch can be a positively powerful exchange of energy, and through her work, Melanie is generous, kind, mindful, and holds space for your needs in a connected and holistic way, mind, body and soul. It’s clearly her gift and calling, among other related areas too I’m certain. What I felt and experienced lasted the week, and was much more than deep release and relaxation. I feel I received a gift from her and spirit that continues to propel me with renewed and joyful energy. Such a personalized experience. Every woman would benefit from this act of self love. Thanks Melanie!

Melanie welcomed me into a warm, radiant, sacred space. Our session went beyond massage. I felt the release of pain that was more than physical.
Her capacity to hold space was tremendous. What an amazing treatment. My body feels re-alligned and rejuvenated, and *strong*!

Melanie is truly a gifted healer. I had the pleasure to meeting her for a Lomi Lomi massage in her beautiful space in Kitsilano. Melanie has a very warm and kind spirit and I felt at ease for the all length of the visit. She gave me some intuitive insights that were spot on and the massage was wonderful and very relaxing. I left feeling light and rejuvenated, like some heavy load had been lifted away. I highly recommend Melanie, and I'll be back for sure!

Melanie is a colleague of mine who I have done a number of bodywork studies with and today was the first time I had the absolute pleasure of receiving a complete treatment from her. I was able to book in with her upon returning from travels and amidst a lot of growth and changes in my personal life. I knew I needed some nurturing and I needed it from a skilled professional and what I received from her was exactly that. As a fellow bodywork professional it is safe for me to say that Melanie is an absolute gift to our line of practice. Her touch, her space and her presence are MAGIC. Thank you Melanie!

Wherever I travel, I seek a massage with "that magical touch"... one that moves so much more than physical tension alone... one that sweeps the energy field, tingles the senses and uplifts the spirit. It's rare to find this... so very rare. Yet I have definitely found this with Melanie. I did a 2 hour Lomilomi session today, and it was Amazing! Truly. If you seek a deeper massage experience, look no further. Melanie is Magical.

Melanie has the healing touch. She brings a sense of nurturing presence to her work that you don't see in a lot of massage therapist and bodyworkers. She can read in my body and energy and offers me exactly what I need in the moment. Plus, she creates a safe and beautiful space to just relax and renew yourself completely. I highly recommend her!

If you ask me, Melanie is an absolute natural when it comes to massage.It feels like it simply in her nature to give caring, nurturing, healing, calming touch. Her hands seem to be “guided”. I always feel like my being can completely relax into her touch. I trust her hands completely.

A session with Melanie is so much more than a massage. It's a full body, soul, and heart treatment, a place to relax and be present to enjoy every bit of sensory delight. I love the Lomi Lomi massage and recommend taking the time necessary for a full body treatment. It's amazing! I feel renewed when I leave and so relaxed. A big part of that is how supported I feel in her care. Highly recommended!

Blissed out after the most delicious massage from Melanie Requet. When a practitioner does their inner work, it comes through in their outer work. She is a committed, deep, loving soul you'll want to experience. Merci Melanie!

Melanie gave me the most relaxing massage experience I have ever had. She had me focus on my breath during the massage to get the most out of the benefits. Melanie is passionate about her work and it shows. I was so relaxed afterwards and will definitely be visiting her again and referring some pals. A+++++!

I was not feeling great the day of my massage. Melanie worked her magic on my head and scalp as part of the massage. Sheer bliss. She is a kind, compassionate healer.

Thank you so much for the wonderful session! I feel fabulous on all levels and will definitely come see you again. You have such a loving, wise and safe energy about you tempered with gentleness and groundedness. I could tell I could trust you energetically and was able to open and unveil my energy field deeper than I can usually when receiving bodywork. It makes for amazing healing potential! So thank you!
