"I truly don't know how I would've gotten through the last decade without Melissa! As a transgender dancer with hypermobility and chronic pain, knowing that I can trust Melissa's expertise about my joints as well as her competence and care for trans folks has meant that I could keep dancing through everything life tried to throw at me. Her guidance before and after top surgery was especially key to recovery and my ongoing health. I feel so much confidence in my body because of the surgery preparation Melissa curated for me, and the way she's followed up with scar and mobility care. One of the really remarkable things about Melissa is what an avid learner she is: she is constantly researching, taking classes and workshops, and becoming expert in the kind of care her clients need. In a world where trans healthcare is so often afterthought at best, and under direct attack at worst, it is so calming and humanizing to know that my fullness of my being matters to Melissa and everyone at BTPT."
