Melinda Stewart

LMBT #8048

Melinda started her career in 2002 as an Equine Massage Therapist in South Dakota where the services she provided for horses triggered a desire for her to expand her talent in massage therapy to include humans. In 2005 Melinda graduated from Headlines Academy of Massage in Rapid City SD and began her profession as a massage therapist for people. She worked for a Chiropractor for 2 years where she advanced her techniques in Trigger Point, Deep Tissue, Swedish and Neuromuscular Therapies. Since moving to NC in 2007, Melinda has worked alongside many other massage therapists, chiropractors, physical therapists, personal trainers, coaches and yoga instructors and has gained valuable knowledge that she uses to benefit her clients. In 2021 Melinda expanded her practice, brought on additional therapists and went back to school to pursue her dream of becoming a Structural Integration Therapist. Melinda takes pride in her reputation for helping clients recover from injury, improve range of motion, correct poor body mechanics and of course, relieve stress. When she expanded her practice, she wanted to create a space for people to come and experience a diverse group of elite professionals that offer a wide variety of therapy. So regardless of what you come in for, you know that you are getting the best therapy available.

Melinda has expanded her therapies to include Structural Integration, Yoga, Hot Stone Massage, Contrast Therapy, Gentle Waves Face Massage, both floor and table Thai Massage, Muscle Release Technique, Athletic Performance and Repetitive Use Therapy, Activation (massage gun), Cupping, Muscle Energy Testing, Static Manual Release, and BodyMind Coaching.

When Melinda is not at the office, working on horses, teaching yoga or at a continuing education class, she enjoys spending time with her husband, stepson and three dogs hiking, traveling and enjoying the outdoors.

Summer Krismanits

Summer graduated from the North Carolina School of Advanced Bodywork and has completed multiple intensive trainings in Craniosacral Therapy through both the Upledger Institute and Visionary CST. She is also trained in Lymphatic and Swedish Massage.

Blending intuition with a clinical understanding of anatomy and nervous system regulation, Summer’s approach supports profound transformation in both the body and mind. Her continuing education through Primal Trust and study of Polyvagal Theory inform her trauma-aware work, allowing her to help clients move out of survival states and into balance, safety, and healing.

Summer works with clients of all ages—from newborns and children, to adults—addressing challenges such as chronic pain, trauma recovery, stress and anxiety, postnatal depletion, and nervous system dysregulation. Her sessions often facilitate deep stillness and integration, helping the body release long-held patterns and access its innate capacity to self-heal. 

She first encountered Craniosacral Therapy while seeking solutions for her children and was deeply moved by the results. When she integrated this work into her own healing journey, she became passionate about helping others experience the same sense of relief and restoration.

Outside the office, Summer is an avid reader, lifelong learner, and enjoys spending time with her husband and six children. She loves all animals, but has a special place in her heart for horses and dogs.

Eric Torres

Just as any athlete competing at high levels, I have come across my fair shares of injuries and “drawbacks”. This led to me eventually seek professional help in the prehab/injury realm of the fitness/health industry. However, it wasn’t until I went to massage school that made me gain the trust/respect I have now for bodywork. Getting bodywork allowed me to load up the soft tissue (muscle, tendons etc.) that had prior injuries with less pain in the gym and skills training sessions; this led to slowly loading up movement patterns in a more optimal manner with minimal to no pain. Eventually, allowing an increase in performance to be expressed in my respected sports and overall fitness level.

I know as an athlete one of the hardest things is stepping away from your sport specific skills training to try and give some recovery for your body because you feel you’re missing out on improvements. Every now and then giving your body that specific attention for recovery will allow you to push that much harder while at the same time reducing the chance of injury. I would love to be part of your recovery arsenal to provide as much insight and education that I can to better understand and treat your body more accordingly. I give you my thanks in advance because trusting another individual with your body can be a bit of a tricky thing; I look forward to working with you and building a professional relationship.

Sports Therapy
Our Sports Therapy sessions are designed specifically to enhance athletic performance, support recovery, and prevent injury. This focused, clothes-on therapy is performed while you’re dressed in athletic wear, making it ideal for pre- or post-workout treatment.

Rather than a full-body massage, Sports Therapy targets specific muscle groups and movement patterns relevant to your training. Techniques are tailored to address areas of restriction, improve mobility, and support optimal muscle function—helping you recover faster, move more efficiently, and perform at your best.

Whether you’re a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior, this specialized therapy can be a game-changer for your body and training goals.
