My name is Melissa Ballew. I am the owner of In Perfect Balance Massage, providing massage therapy in Tigard, Oregon. I'm a queer, body-neutral licensed massage therapist who is encouraging our community to make empowered choices relative to their well-being. I focus on Therapeutic Relaxation Massage. My massage therapy specialties include TMJ, Chronic Pain, Hot Stone, Oncology, Prenatal Massage, and Trauma-Informed care.
I am originally from North Carolina and studied massage therapy at Miller-Motte College. I moved to Oregon in 2011 after graduating massage school. After working in the Catering and Restaurant Industry, I decided to pursue my passion and start my career as a massage therapist in 2017. I thoroughly enjoy working with people and strive to help clients meet their health goals while focusing on overall relaxation. I'm passionate about providing professional massage services and I tailor each massage to meet your needs. I have been honored to serve the community of Tigard with massage services for over nine years now.
I love playing with my dog Dillon, spending time with my partner, adventuring with friends, reading, and playing roller derby. I have a Little Library in front of my home as well as a Lending Library at my office.
