a restorative space for meaningful care

What Sets Us Apart?
At Thrive Wellness, treatments are never rushed or one-size-fits-all. Each session is guided by thoughtful assessment and a genuine commitment to helping you feel safe, supported, and at ease in your body. I take the time to understand not just where you’re feeling pain or tension, but how stress, movement, and daily life may be contributing to it.
What truly sets us apart is our ability to bridge hands-on therapy with movement. Our space includes a fully equipped gym, allowing us to integrate mobility, corrective, and rehab-based exercises when appropriate, helping you build strength, confidence, and lasting change beyond the treatment table.
Be sure to check out our included extras here.
Melanie Sexton, RMT
Hi, I’m Melanie — a calm, friendly RMT who’s passionate about helping people feel more at ease in their bodies.
My approach is gentle but firm, intentional, and rooted in creating a space where you can breathe a little deeper and feel truly cared for. I believe massage therapy can beautifully complement mental health work, and I focus on techniques that help quiet the nervous system and release built-up tension.
Whether you’re looking to unwind, address persistent tension, or support your overall wellness routine, I’m here to help you feel grounded, relaxed, and supported each step of the way.
