Meet your MELT instructor.
"From the very first class I have enjoyed Shelley's enthusiasm for the MELT Method. She has an excellent grasp on delivering the MELT Method techniques, verbally and by demonstration, so that the techniques are easy to comprehend and execute.
I am grateful for Shelley and The MELT Method. Both have been life changing for me. Every week, I look forward to seeing Shelley and taking her MELT classes."

My journey to MELT began more than 40 years ago, although I didn't know it at the time. As long as I can remember, I've had aches and pains. As a young adult, I dealt with chronic back pain that found me driving for hours to seek medical diagnoses in the hope of definitive answers. Eventually, a more holistic approach led me to some relief through chiropractic treatments, massage and acupuncture. Still, the lingering aches and pains left me wondering if I could ever be truly healthy and active.
In 2016, I discovered the MELT Method. Just one "Introduction to MELT" class was all it took to change my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. MELT first taught me how to become a "hands-off" body worker and restore health and hydration to my own connective tissue system (also known as fascia) and restore balance to my nervous system. After experiencing MELT in my own body, I quickly began my training to become a MELT Instructor.
I live in Yamhill County with my husband of over 25 years. We have four children, with our youngest attending University of Oregon. We love living in the heart of wine country and are both life-long Oregonians.
What I love about MELT is that it works both from a reactive (get out of pain) standpoint and from a proactive (prevent pain) standpoint. MELT is based on ongoing scientific research and a deeper understanding of our connective tissue system and it's direct links to our nervous system and metabolism. The Methodology will meet you where you are and can be adapted to fit your needs. MELT is for every body.
