Hello, I'm Melanie Higbee

I'm a licensed massage therapist in Durango Colorado, and have been serving as a facilitator in bodywork since 2007.  It's a great honor for me to serve my community in this way.  

In my search to help the people who come to me for assistance, I've traveled to Thailand and Brazil, all over the U.S., and continue to be a student of humanity and science.  I draw from training in the work of Dr. Ida Rolf, as well as myofascial techniques honed by other practitioners of her work.  I like to include the fluid and total body conversation of nerve and blood vessel release work as well: I find this is a tremendous support in relieving the tensions we so often allow to occupy our body space.  I humbly offer a trauma informed approach when needed and am glad to do this.
