I came to a career in bodywork following my studies in dance at the University of Oregon where I earned my Bachelors of Science degree. My intense exploration of movement, breath, collaboration, and expression brought forward a mind body connection in my everyday experience in and out of the dance studio.
I found that through massage I am able to guide others to this place of awareness, acceptance, and constant flow of shifting change that occurs within us all. With experience in both spa and clinical settings, I have found a balance between the two that is satisfying and effective for my clients. I appreciate focused work on acute and chronic injuries and affected structures as well as deeply healing relaxation massage.

I had the pleasure of being Nick's first client at MEND and it was well worth taking the chance on this new talented addition to MEND. I normally go to Cassie (Who is amesome! and I do recommend) but she wasn't availbe when I tried to schedule and I have to say that worked out better than I imagined. Nick is strong, super professional and has been the only Massage Therpist I've ever seen that has managed to not cause discomfort when rubbing my calves...AMAZING! Thanks Nick, I highly recommend and will forward to working with him again!!!

I love Gwen's massages! She's always very attentive to whatever I request, and she makes sure to be thorough! I also find that this whole business is very easy to return to consistently. Booking appointments online makes the whole process of scheduling pretty seamless, and Melanie's help with insurance stuff was surprisingly considerate of my needs! Highly recommend Mend!

I am grateful to have found this gem! Super cute & welcoming space, and working with Cassie has been so healing! She is very present during the session & it truly feels like she is listening to my body. I literally float out after my session is such a blissful state!

I’ve been going to Mend for several years now. Not only is the quality of massage top notch, so is the quality of the staff and their facility. The massage rooms are clean and sanitary. They go above and beyond to make your experience safe, fun and healthy. I know my life has been improved by their talented staff. I encourage you to give them a try, you won’t regret it.

I had a 90 minute massage with Cassie. She was really thorough in our consultation before the massage started, and followed COVID protocols to protect us both. During the massage, she checked in to be sure the pressure was not too much or too little, and really focused on areas that even I did not know where trouble spots (until she came upon them). I was able to really relax and focus my mind on letting go of all of the tension my body has been absorbing since this pandemic started.
Today I feel good and sore, like I was expecting and can definitely tell the massage is working.

I have been a long time client of Melanie and Mend for more than 11 years now. In that time I have seen Melanie grow her practice into one of the leading massage therapy providers in Eugene. Melanie is a kind, caring and thoughtful therapist and is constantly learning and adapting her offerings to give her clients the body work they need to heal and maintain their physical and mental well being. I highly recommend Mend for all of your body work needs.
