our story
Meet Melinda
,
Founder
A 2001 graduate of Massage Away School of Therapy (now AIAM), Melinda founded Arlington Massage Therapy in hopes of bringing a new perspective on health to the local community. There are currently over 25 practitioners in the practice ranging from massage and acupuncture to yoga and chiropractic care.
Despite running her business, tackling building management, and the day-to-day list - Melinda has a very active massage practice built on a strong foundation of word of mouth and client referrals. Her intentional focus is to help her clients feel better and improve their quality of life through regular deep tissue massages. Who doesn’t need a little of that in their life?
february 2005
Looking for a way to give herself and other massage therapists the opportunity to build independent practices with a high profit margin, Melinda and 4 colleagues opened a small office space on Henderson Road in Columbus, Ohio.
After 8 years it was apparent they were outgrowing the current space and needed to expand. Expand, they did.
january 2013
By 2013, there was a space twice the size of the original with a wider variety of practitioners and modalities, now housing over 26 experts in the wellness space.
Over the years, we've outgrown the name Arlington Massage Therapy - we are so much more than that now.
december 2019
Rebranding is scary, but it was necessary. After the time, intention, and energy needed - Arlington Massage Therapy is now Well Within Collective. It fits and it feels right. More than that, there is room for growth and change which we welcome with open arms.
With each new professional we add to the space, it grows the level of education, reach, and service we can provide to the greater Columbus area.
