A Personal Note From Melody
My goal is to empower you to live a healthy, active, and vital lifestyle.
After 20 years as a nurse, I have seen firsthand how an inactive & unhealthy lifestyle can lead to devastating health concerns that land people in the hospital, prematurely.
I am regularly saddened by the number of people who could have avoided serious conditions with better self-care and physical maintenance.
That’s why I decided to use my nursing experience to start Ataraxy Health & Vitality.
I am committed to helping you feel better, recover quickly, feel energized, increase strength, boost performance, enhance your physical well-being, and be the best you that you can be.

How Infant Massage Helped Me
A Personal Word From Melody (LPN, Owner)
Infant Massage has a very special place in my heart. I am passionate about children, and the process of helping them live a healthy, active, and vibrant lifestyle.
This is partly because of who I am. I simply love babies and children of all ages. But more than that, I wanted to develop an Infant Massage Program because of my own experience with my first baby.
I learned the value of Infant Massage first hand.
My son was extremely jaundice at birth, which is fairly common in babies. This condition is typified by yellow skin. It occurs when a baby’s liver is not effectively excreting bile (waste product).
The doctor sent us home and prescribed phototherapy or “Light Therapy.” The treatment involved putting my naked baby in the sun several times a day. I was told it should improve, but if it got worse I was to bring him back to the hospital. Phototherapy is still normal treatment practice.
I tried this method for a few days, and although it did not get worse, it did not seem to get better.
I had just taken an Infant Massage class and learned of the significant benefits of massage for infants. In those day there was no internet or google for research—I know, I’m dating myself.
I decided to give Infant Massage a try. One night before bed, I did the routine I had been shown.
The results were astounding. The next morning my son’s skin colour was 90% normal. A 90% improvement overnight, after only one massage treatment.
My positive experience with Infant Massage did not end there. There was another happy benefit.
My son was a very “colicky” baby. The Infant Massage treatment provided the best night sleep he had since I brought him home—I think I needed it more than he did.
Research now confirms that Infant Massage is a complementary treatment of phototherapy. Infant massage helps babies recover from jaundice more quickly than with phototherapy alone. Infant massage has also been shown to have many other benefits for the baby (see below).
And so, as a nurse, baby lover, and experienced mother, I recognize the significant benefits of Infant Massage.
This is why I am so passionate about Infant Massage, and the opportunity I now have to share it with you.
Children are my passion. I would cherish the opportunity to serve you and your baby. And, from there, hopefully, to participate in their ongoing maintenance and developmental needs and goals.
