Melanie has always been fascinated by the science of the human body, spirituality, and ancient healing practices. Since a child, she has been highly sensitive, empathic and intuitive. After earning a B.S. degree in Biomedical Science & Chemistry, Melanie's personal healing path led her to the transformative world of Holistic Health Practices, Traditional Indigenous Healing and Energy Medicine for physical & emotional wellbeing. A variety of healers and holistic modalities helped her discover the root cause of her debilitating digestive issues, anxiety and depression and find ways to heal on multiple levels.

 

Along her path, Melanie followed an inner calling to apprentice with Elders Kimberly Hart, Selma Sroka, Maestra Rita Navarette and Master Curandero Laurencio Lopez Nuñez in the teachings of Ancient Native American & Mayan Healing Practices. Melanie was honored to be initiated into the lineage of the Curanderismo healing tradition. She also became certified as a Reiki Master, studied hands-on healing with Echo Bodine, and was a panel member of The Sistrum Channelers, where Melanie channeled Spiritual Guidance at monthly gallery group readings in the Minneapolis area.

Melanie started her Massage & Healing practice in 2017, after earning her second college degree, an Associate of Applied Science, in Western Therapeutic Massage and Eastern Shiatsu Therapy. She worked out of the Adagio Holistic studio and operated under the business name Melanie Metz Massage Therapy. In 2022, Melanie founded a multi-employee business named Skyhaven Massage in Uptown Minneapolis, where she worked as the business owner, massage therapist and healing practitioner. In February of 2025, "Skyhaven Massage & Wellness" changed ownership and Melanie returned to private practice. Previous to becoming a massage therapist, Melanie enjoyed working as a chemist, storm chaser, corporate training manager, adult foster care provider and photographer.
