		Maui Coffee Roasters - Since 1972, we've roasted our beans beneath the watchful gaze of Haleakala, House of the Sun. Our shop continues to fill with noisy friends, marvelous music, and questionable art. (Or is it marvelous art and questionable friends?) At any rate, we who live and brew at the foot of a barely dormant volcano are faced with a single mission: Humbly offer exceptional handcrafted Hawaiian coffees to the world. mauicoffeeroasters.com

CASE STUDIES:

"What makes Meli so talented and unique is that she has an innate ability to navigate the body, methodically finding the 'problem' and then combines her knowledge, gentle spirit, physical strength and talent to facilitate healing. I have lived with pain for the past 10-20 years stemming from a car accident and years of wear and tear as an athlete. What brought me to Meli was fortune! I developed a repetitive syndrome from long hours on the computer which was exacerbated by a severe fall hurting my arm, shoulder and neck. Meli has vested months in my therapy - within that time I have recovered strength in my hand, a far cry from not being able to open jars or work the mouse and keyboard without intense chronic pain radiating throughout my hand, arm and shoulder. Meli is one of the best massage therapists I have had the fortune to meet. I highly recommend her".

"I was a non believer in massage, then I hurt my lower back. For a while I did nothing hoping it would go away. I tried Chiropractic. My wife suggested I try massage. The back improved quickly and I now get a massage from Meli every week. She is the best. She has those good hands and she cares about her clients."

"I was recommended to Meli by a friend, and have now been a client for almost a year. I see Meli every other week for Lomi to soothe my body from my day-to-day wear. She not only heals my aches and pains, but nourishes me with exercises and eductaes me about certain health issues I have. Meli can sense or feel that somethins is wrong even without saying anything. I am very fortunate to have Meli as my LMT, I always look forward to seeing her. I would highly recommend Meli to everyone."

"I have been a client of Meli Thomas for over a year now and I can only say that she has been a godsend to me. She has helped me out tremendously with the daily aches and pains that my body experiences. By the end of the week, I am so ready for my deep tissue massage. Her techniques and professionalism are unbelievably amazing. I have become quite addicted to my bi-weekly massages. Thank you so much Meli for being such an important factor in my life. You are a blessing."
