My name is Melissa Ballew. I am the owner of In Perfect Balance Massage, 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 tailoring each massage to meet your needs. I have been honored to serve the community of Tigard with massage services for over eight years now.

I love hanging with friends, reading, and playing Roller Derby. I have a Little Library in front of my home as well as a Lending Library in office lobby.

All bodies are welcome! In Perfect Balance Massage is size-inclusive, diversity-friendly, queer-friendly, and trans-friendly. Persons of any body shape, skin color, sexual orientation, and gender are welcome. Black Lives Matter. I create space for and amplify voices from underrepresented and marginalized groups and allow for individual and business growth around equity and justice.
