In a life-long journey for better health and well-being there are many paths and turns one can take. Whether you decide your road map to include acupuncture, herbs, cupping, Thai massage, or energy healing - you will need a trusted and committed guide. Someone to journey with you and provide crucial feedback on your progress as well as steer you in the right direction. I feel fortunate to have found Melissa Dana as my healer. Sure, it helps that she is professionally trained in all of the above modalities, but more importantly she clearly loves what she does and truly cares for her patients.
It's important to find the practitioner that is right for you. If you are looking for someone committed, knowledgeable, present, passionate and smart, try Melissa Dana. -

Yawn! We spent a lot of quiet time not talking just sitting while I watched her type in my intake form on her Mac laptop...lots of quiet time. Would it hurt to do this after I was gone? Or have me fill it out beforehand and entered before I showed up? I'm paying for help, not to watch you! Anyway, after that annoyance she said she'll give me "LOTS of tips" to help me out, but I only ended up getting a tea prescription. That's right, a prescription for tea......{rolling of eyes} Waste of money and my time!
She was expensive, and has very limited hours, with an inflexible schedule. She's not for me.Comment from Melissa D. of Melissa Dana, LAc CMT 1/6/2011

I, too, feel very lucky to have Melissa Dana as my healer. She has helped me immensely, physically and emotionally, with acupuncture and herbs and her cheerful, intelligent, intuitive advice. I feel 1 million times better after I see her...she is extremely helpful, caring, and even funny - I don't know what else anyone could ask for, really.

Melissa has been an amazing asset to my health and well-being for many years. I saw her as a student practitioner at the ACTCM, and was among the first of her clients to be treated in her present office. I have seen her for a variety of reasons and received treatments from a variety of disciplines. Melissa's intuitive and holistic approach is very comforting, often astounding and always extremely affective. She is not stuck on a rigid approach, and has never hesitated to let me know when she believes an alternative discipline would help or be more affective. I would highly recommend Melissa Dana to anyone. She has a very genuine interest in the health and well-being of her clients (and friends).
