Melinda, a 2001 graduate of Massage Away School of Therapy (now AIAM), embarked on her journey in the world of wellness with a clear mission: to help people feel better and improve their quality of life. In 2005, she opened Arlington Massage Therapy. Now called Well Within Collective, it has become a hub for independent holistic health and well-being practitioners.

Over the years, Melinda built a thriving massage practice, earning a stellar reputation based on client referrals and word of mouth. Her focus was always on providing deep tissue massages that truly made a difference in her clients' lives.

With a passion for mentoring, Melinda has guided numerous new massage therapists, instilling in them the same dedication to client care and well-being that has defined her own practice. Although she is no longer seeing clients, Melinda's legacy of care and compassion lives on through the thriving community she has built at Well Within Collective. 

After 23 years as a dedicated massage therapist, Melinda has cultivated a deep understanding of client relationships, business operations, and the resilience it takes to thrive as a solopreneur. Her journey has been shaped by hands-on experience, personal growth, and a passion for service—all of which have given her a unique perspective on what it takes to build a sustainable, fulfilling business.

Now, as a client-focused solopreneur mentor, Melinda empowers small business owners to rise to their full potential with confidence and clarity. She provides guidance on building authentic client connections, streamlining operations, and embracing an entrepreneurial mindset that fosters long-term success. Her mission is to help fellow solopreneurs create businesses that align with their passions and values while achieving financial and personal freedom.
