About

✧ ABOUT MELISSA ✧

I am the Founder of Soma Massage and Tarot, a Licensed Massage Therapist (MA60684548), NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Precision Nutrition Coach, and Trauma Informed Tarot Advisor – where I apply my degree in Family Psychology/ Art Therapy.

 

✧ MASSAGE ✧

I am a graduate of the Discovery Point school of Massage 850hr program, 2015. I am skilled at Deep Tissue, Swedish, Myofascial, Reflexology, Prenatal, Hot Stone, Cupping, Scrubs & Wraps.

My massage style combines therapeutic precision, luxurious relaxation, and intuitive energy work to create a holistic and deeply healing experience. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to release physical tension, nurture the mind, and revitalize the spirit, offering a blend of restoration and indulgence.
 
I received my Personal Trainer certification in 2002 and enjoyed a 15 year career in Body building and Training

 
✧ TAROT ✧

I picked up my first Tarot deck somewhere around 1982 and knew I had found my native language. I started reading Tarot professionally in 2010 and over the years I have done thousands of private readings, parties, and corporate events as Lux Divinorum Tarot (the light within).

My Tarot Readings are a blend of over 35 years experience in the esoteric art of the Tarot, my education and work in Healing modalities that include Art Therapy, Social work, Massage, Personal Training, and Nutrition coaching, as well as a personal journey through domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness, and all the elements of C-PTSD.  
 
I have been on this journey from the story I was born to to the story I was born to live for 5 decades. I found over the years of trauma and recovery that the Tarot and other energy based modalities have been an essential way to find my way back to my true self. I want to share what I’ve learned with you to help you on your path.

✧ ABOUT THE SPA ✧

This space is quiet, light-filled, and full of warmth—the perfect setting for deep healing and intuitive connection. The building is a vibrant hub of artists, healers, and wellness practitioners, and it feels alive with creativity and care.

You’ll love the easy free parking, street-level access, and how peaceful it is—even in the heart of Ballard. Grab a coffee next door at Woodland, then step into this serene little haven made just for you.
