Meet The Mermaid Warm balmy winds embraced the proprietor of "Island Mermaid Massage Therapy and Sailboat Charters" as she washed ashore in South Texas 14 years ago. A native French Canadian and avid windsurfer, duathelon competitor and motocross racer, Miss Marion Melrose realized first-hand many sports' related injuries and credits her flourishing career to the fine therapists who made her own recoveries possible. Capt. Marion Melrose, RN, RMT, LMTI, is one of South Padre's exclusive massage therapists who is also a registered nurse, avid sailing enthusiast and licensed boat captain. Her combined healthcare experience spans two decades as a nurse and massage therapist. Her professional nurturing empathetic spirit adds a comforting unique dimension to her soothing massage treatments. She continues to windsurf and sail for her own personal pleasure and strives to embellish her kiteboarding skills acquired in recent months. Together with her deep conviction in the healing powers of the sea she invites you to come, relax and let her and her associates spoil and pamper you...and let your stresses wash out to sea.
