Meet Dr. Melissa
Hi Friend!
I’m Dr. Melissa (she/her) aka My Self Care Doc and founder of The Self Care Crown Method™!
As a radical self care advocate I have been helping folx reclaim their radiance by honoring what truly nourishes the body: nervous system safety, seasonal wisdom, and self-care rituals that feel like devotion, not a chore for over 20 years.
It is truly my passion to inspire people of all shapes and sizes to turn every day mundane activities into self care rituals.
I have been fortunate to receive multiple awards for my clinic and services over the years and it would be an honor to share with you my unique blend of Eastern & Western self care practices.
My approach blends East Asian Medicine, pro-aging skincare, gentle nutrition and epigenetic science with a radical belief: ✨ every body is worthy of care exactly as it is.
I am proud to offer my services in Sonoma County and Beyond 💖

"When I tell people I used to have moderate cystic acne, they don’t usually believe me. My only secret is that I’ve been working with Dr. Melissa for years. The only times her treatments, products, or advice didn’t work was because I wasn’t following it. And I wasn’t even fixed through new products for my skin, it was fixed with better supplements and improving my gut health! Every time you sit in her treatment room, she treats so much more than your skin."
