KALA Ayurveda, LLC

I don’t think I can leave a review that adequately expresses my gratitude for Melissa’s skill, compassion and healing. I found her for very specific Ayurvedic practices and have stayed because she has changed my quality of life with her expertise. Don’t hesitate, don’t think… book with her and be blessed!

Melissa is a gifted healer. She beautifully interweaves traditional massage therapy with the ancient wellness wisdom of Ayurveda to create a soul reaching experience of warmth, wellness and calm. We are so fortunate to have her in our Charlottesville community!

I’ve tried most of Kala Ayurveda’s offerings over the years, and I keep coming back because I always feel amazing—physically and emotionally. Body work here has become a key part of my self-care rituals. Melissa has an incredible intuition for what’s going on in the body and knows just how to release the tension. Highly recommend!

Melissa does absolutely amazing work. She combines a skillful and intuitive approach to address my unique needs. I always leave feeling a profound level of healing and love.

Melissa was very welcoming with a pleasant client/patient manner. It had been several years since I’d had a massage, but was having some back issues that I thought were muscle related. The massage itself was very good. The massage was a full hour, and Melissa used every minute to focus on not just the areas of concern but all over. It apparently helped as the tightness and pain I had went away…until last week when my grandchildren were visiting! Picking up toddlers (not a good idea at my age) and picking vegetables from my garden has brought the tightness in my back again. ‘Will schedule another massage with Melissa. I will also say that I appreciate that her prices include a gratuity and nothing extra is expected.
