Melanie is the owner of Cheshire Massage and responsible for bringing together this wonderful group of therapists.
She graduated from Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in 2007 and is currently not taking clients anymore. She spends most of her time managing the place and making herself available for when disasters strike (therapists call out and we need a therapist ASAP). Melanie is proficient at responding to texts, emails, and phone calls in a timely manner. She is the accountant, receptionist, HR department, all rolled into one. She does not take days off anymore but is actively seeking a solution to this for she wishes to get back out there in the world with nothing but her backpack. It has been six long years since her last adventure. She also just purchased a condo nearby and has a cat named Taquito, AKA Taki, Taki-cat, Tiki, Kiki, Piki, Pikichu, Takidoza. Cheshire Massage is busier than it has ever been and she is happy because of that, however, she would like to find a solution so she can resume her worldly adventures. Receptionists are expensive and she just purchased a condo.
