About me

Hi! I'm Melanie Galloway and I'm a Certified Childbirth Educator, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist proudly serving families in the Greater Austin Area. Inspired by my own birth experience, I became a childbirth educator with Birth Boot Camp in 2015 and have been dedicated to empowering expecting families ever since. I believe that knowledge, preparation, and support can transform your birthing experience, allowing you to approach this life-changing event with confidence and joy. I specialize in prenatal, postpartum, and therapeutic massage - including Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Lomilomi Hawaiian Temple Bodywork. My approach is gentle, intuitive, and focused on restoring balance and relaxation - whether you're preparing for birth, recovering postpartum, or simply in need of self-care. I provide massage services at Bump and Beyond Chiropractic and Wellness in Lakeway or in the comfort of your home.
