Melissa Rioux is a Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist and the founder of Honeybee Inspirations, devoted to supporting others in slowing down, restoring balance, and reconnecting with their bodies. Born and raised in Terrace, BC, Melissa now calls Prince George home, though her path has taken her across Europe and Southeast Asia. It was during her travels—through Scotland, England, Wales, Germany, and Thailand—that she was first introduced to yoga, meditation, and Buddhist philosophy. These experiences planted the seeds for a lifelong exploration of healing, presence, and the connection between body and mind.

Melissa’s formal journey into the wellness field began with yoga. After years as a student, she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2019 and began teaching shortly after. That same year, she expanded her knowledge through studies in myofascial release, movement, and aerial yoga. Working within a wellness clinic and studio environment exposed her to a wide range of healing modalities—but it was reflexology that truly resonated.

In April 2019, Melissa met Frances Birdsell at a wellness fair in Terrace, BC—an encounter that would shape the direction of her practice. Inspired by what she experienced, she began her reflexology training in March 2020, stepping onto a path that would become the heart of her work.

Today, reflexology forms the foundation of Melissa’s practice. Her approach is slow, intuitive, and deeply supportive of the nervous system. Through intentional touch and presence, she creates space for the body to release tension, regulate, and return to a natural state of balance. Her work is not about fixing, but about listening—supporting each person in reconnecting with their own inner rhythm and capacity for healing.

In addition to reflexology, Melissa is a Reiki Master and Ayurvedic Head Massage Practitioner, thoughtfully weaving these modalities into her offerings when appropriate. Across all of her work, she is known for her calm, compassionate presence and her ability to create a space where people feel safe, held, and at ease. Melissa’s work is an invitation—to pause, to soften, and to come back to yourself.
