Melissa A. Stone

Owner, CMT, Certified Fitness Professional, Author and Producer

Her clients say she has a healer's touch and a psychic's intuition.

Melissa owns and operates Balance Studio Spa in Felton CA, a full service holistic fitness, wellness and skin care spa in the Santa Cruz Mountains. She has produced fitness and meditation DVDs and CDs and has co-hosted local talk radio. Her book, The Key to Life is...Balance, was released Fall 2008. She is frequently quoted and has had several articles published on the subject of holistic wellness in the local media. Melissa's intention is to help others find balance in their lives, using the tools of fitness, body/energy work, meditation and nutrition.

Melissa knows what it feels like to be overweight, depressed and lacking in self esteem; after suffering for years she took matters into her own hands and developed a yoga and Pilates practice - the first step on her life long journey towards wellness. Melissa graduated from Cypress Health Institute in Santa Cruz, CA. She integrated this comprehensive education with additional training in massage, polarity and fitness into a holistic practice, reshaping her body - and her life - in the process. Her success with her own body and her life inspired her to give back, to pass on her knowledge and help others find what she had found - total wellness. In 2003, Melissa left her 20 year corporate career to open Balance Studio Spa.

Discovering that the key to changing her life was to change the way energy flowed through her body. By gathering energy and clearing energy blockages she found that the healing energy flowed more smoothly though her body - redirecting her path towards total health.

Through her fitness classes, workshops and guided meditations Melissa educates her clients about their own chakras, helping them to recognize and correct imbalances so they can find the way back to total, joyful health and wellness. Give her a call today and find YOUR way to wellness!

Kate Roberts

CMT and Detox Specialist

Kate Roberts is our on call therapist and has been a massage therapist for five years specializing in Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Release, Esalen massage, Chinese Medicine Meridian Massage, and Reiki. She studied in Palo Alto at the Body Therapy Center and the Esalen Institute in Big Sur. Trigger Point Therapy is a medium to deep massage focusing on specific points in the body where energy builds up . Sometimes these points are connected to feelings and at times it is a physical trigger. Releasing these points can help to open up the body on many different levels. Esalen Massage is a nice complement to the deep work as it uses softer and more nurturing strokes. Chinese Medicine Meridian Massage focuses on healing the organs through working with the meridian points according to Chinese medicine. It is important to support the body with what it needs and keep it cleansed mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally from all that does not serve us.
