about me
Hi I'm Meilian! (she/they) Feel free to Call me Mei *pronounced like MAY*
LMBT NC #21767

After recovering from a serious car accident that led to physical therapy and chiropractic care, little did I know this event would change my life forever and in a few years I graduated from the National Holistic Institute for massage in 2002.
While working various jobs as I earned my BFA in painting, I kept returning to the passion I have for massage and bodywork. In 2018 I furthered my studies, as I became a certified yoga instructor and started my path as a specialized Ashiatsu barefoot therapist.
I have been blessed to have trained with some of the top therapists and instructors in the wellness industry all over the country. I am always eager to further my education and always learning something new to share with my clients.
After years of running my own successful practice in Portland Oregon, I have relocated for some sunshine to the Triad area of North Carolina in Winston-Salem to spread the good word of barefoot massage and to practice what I preach of a slower pace of life.
What to expect in a typical session
I love to pamper my clients with spa-like treatments while still providing deep effective bodywork that is also relaxing.
I specialize in utilizing a flow of Swedish relaxation techniques, using a deep tissue approach, Ashiatsu barefoot skills with Thai massage stretching and acupressure meridian work based in Chinese medicine - all while using your preferred amount of pressure.
I love to incorporate tools if needed/desired such as cupping, hot stones, gua sha, etc. I work on the table or on the floor, depending on your needs. I love to problem solve and customized the perfect session right for you!
As a trauma informed therapist and survivor - yoga, massage and meditation have helped me recover from so many big changes in my life and continues to be my holy trinity as I navigate through this practice of being human.
I am grateful to be of service to all those in need of receiving safe touch and reconnecting to their bodies with acceptance. I love working with people of various sizes, ages, genders and abilities. ALL bodies deserve bodywork and self care.
With my vast experience of over 2 decades, I have the skills in modifying our sessions for your unique body, comfort and safety. I will always listen to your needs and respect your limitations, regardless of what body you are in.
In my free time
I enjoy a good estate sale, walking in nature, painting, yin yoga, drinking tea, elaborate picnics and reading with cats.
