Melissa Childers, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), RYT-200, Reiki II, Co-founder, Welcome Home Yoga & Wellness – After graduating from The Michigan School of Myomassology in 2003, Melissa began a career as a full-time licensed massage therapist. Her approach to bodywork is rather unique, integrating a multitude of massage techniques, as well as weaving in knowledge of yoga, healing and intuition. With more than 20 years in the field,
Melissa’s specialty is therapeutic massage with a focus on trauma-related recovery, athletic-related recovery, postural deviation
correction, joint manipulation, as well as client education on self care. In 2018, Melissa co-founded Welcome Home Yoga & Wellness—an inclusive yoga studio & wellness center, located at Seven Mile and Livernois, in Detroit, Michigan. Shortly after opening, Melissa also became a certified yoga teacher, and currently oversees the wellness center, mentors new wellness practitioners and collaborates on special events with the yoga team. Melissa enjoys volunteering, reading books with themes centered on self care, cooking new recipes with spouse, Robyn, and spending time with their two loving dogs.
“I want to join Yoga Gives Back as an ambassador because I believe deeply in the mission to support the roots of yoga. While I haven’t yet traveled to India, I hope to do so in the future, and I am particularly interested in exploring Vedic practices. I am excited to learn how to incorporate these ancient healing traditions into my wellness and yoga methodologies, honoring the rich history of the practice while contributing to the collective impact.”
