Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation. I include targeted deep tissue work as needed. Complimentary add-ons include essential oils, doTERRA Deep Blue and local CBD cream.

Healing through universal energetic love, reiki is an ancient, spiritual form of healing that can be difficult to explain. It involves the practitioner channeling an expanded expression of collective love and consciousness that is beyond the immediately visible physical realm. The practitioner then acts as a conduit for that energy to be transmitted to the receiver through the static placing of hands on and above the body. The result of this experience can be deeply profound; it is not uncommon for people to experience heat pouring out of my hands, to see colors, have uncontrollable body movements, cry, wail and to feel a deep sense of inner peace and alignment. It is very different than massage in that is not a muscular relief type of feeling; it is something spiritual that can create more wholeness, peace, acceptance, and autonomy.

As a practitioner, I would share that ever since I was a child, I could feel energy and since taking reiki classes and starting a massage practice that ability has become stronger. I often feel led to hold certain areas and feel bubbles of energy, colors, sensations and emotions that the body holds. My goal is to simply be present to those feelings, follow where I am led, and support the connection between the receiver and what is beyond.  My clients have shared that reiki sessions have helped them to work through emotional pain, trauma and grief in meaningful, life changing ways.

I welcome questions about what a reiki experience could be like and intentionally have reiki sessions be longer to have time to pause after the experience. Intention setting before the session begins is encouraged and time is available at the end for sharing feedback if that is desired.  Experience sharing or explaining the reasons behind seeking reiki are never required to be shared. Appointments can be made online here.

A healing massage can be such a wonderful gift. I am pleased to sell gift certificates online here as well as printed certificates at my office. Gift certificates are fully transferrable and do not expire. In the event of price increases, I will honor the cost that the gift certificate was purchased under and not charge the difference. If you would like a printed certificate, please contact me for a time to pick it up at my office.

I welcome new clients and people visiting the island. My availability is posted online here.  Appointments can be made online or by texting or calling me at 425-312-2108.

If my calendar is full, please still feel free to reach out as I may have cancellations that day. As part of my commitment to inclusion, I do offer appointments on occasional weekends and evenings. Please note that appointments are required, my office space does not accommodate walk-ins.

I am happy to provide mobile services on the South End and Central Whidbey Island. I charge an additional mobile fee of $150 due to the extra time and work involved. This is charged once per visit, additional massages in the same visit are the same cost as my regular, in office, rate. Advance booking is recommended. Please contact me to inquire about availability. Mobile massages cannot be booked online.

I will also consider providing massage services at retreats or other events. Please reach out to inquire.

In a spirit of transparency and respect, I am happy to disclose that I am fully vaccinated against covid. I test regularly; however I do have two children that attend school and are unmasked, a fact that does increase my exposure. I also do not mask in my daily activities where I interact with others, such as the grocery store. I choose to be upfront about this and invite any questions or concerns. Washington state health law no longer requires masking, but upon request I can do so. Please note I welcome clients who are vaccinated and not vaccinated.

Authenticity: I want to create a space where all are welcomed and cared for as they are. I also commit to being transparent about what I know and don’t know and what I can and cannot do.

Diversity: Is a buzz word these days. I have a genuine love, curiosity and respect for the abundance and breadth of life experience in this world and want to be intentional in welcoming all of it. In my practice, I choose to work occasional weekends and evenings in order to be more inclusive.

Commitment to Learning: There is no end to discovering how touch can be intentionally used to promote healing. I am a lifelong learner and commit to ongoing training in order to better serve my clients and grow and heal myself as well.

Welcome! I’m Melanie Lopez Grewal, the creator of Whidbey Body Harmony. Massage has been a gift in my life since I was a child; there was something about healing touch that brought me into peace with myself. When I decided that I wanted to share an experience that has been so meaningful for me with others, I chose this name to explain what I hope massage offers my clients, healing through harmony in their body. My approach to massage is based on deep respect for my clients and a desire to listen to what they say with their words, physical body and energy.

Our world needs people who listen deeply, care and can truly feel. My vision is that the messy, complicated, bodily experience of being human is met with love, grace, curiosity and kindness. Through Whidbey Body Harmony, I hope to support  embodied, peaceful body connection through massage and energy healing on South Whidbey Island.

A bit about me…  I graduated from Port Townsend School of Massage in November 2021 and am also trained in reiki, basic craniosacral therapy, and Mayan Abdominal Therapy. South Whidbey has been my home for the last few years. I felt drawn to the water, the land and the people the island brings. Two amazing girls call me mom and my partner Miguel and I believe this place will always hold us. I value living a life that honors nature and treats all people with kindness, dignity and respect.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have or to request or book an appointment. My availability is posted online here.
