She is very excited to start this new chapter at Lifestyle Chiropractic & Wellness and to work with Dr. Andrew. Chiropractic and the wellness lifestyle are very important to her and her family. Her two kids have been getting adjusted since they were just days old and she cannot imagine going through life without getting adjusted on a regular basis. Even though she isn't doing the actual adjusting she has been able to see the impact that chiropractic has on so many patients. It really can change people's lives and their outlook on their health.

In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband Sean, two kids, Ethan and Evelynn and their dog Potter. You can usually find them at their cabin, the beach, park, reading, cooking, or dancing to Disney Songs!

Licensed Massage Therapist

Melissa Baker

Melissa graduated from Sister Rosalind's Massage and Bodywork in 2005. She is nationally certified and continues to earn CEU's. Melissa integrates different modalities in each of her massages since every body is different and responds differently as well. Techniques used to help relax, restore and heal may include DNM (dermo-neuro modulation), Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Swedish, myofascial, sports, etc. Melissa also does pregnancy massages.

Her belief is that in massage, pain is not gain. It's very important to breathe comfortably to gain the most benefit, so some people may find that deep tissue isn't for them or suffering through painful moments during massage isn't necessary. Melissa wants the best outcome and long lasting results for her clients. She enjoys getting to know her clients and being able to make a positive difference in their lives.
