Melinda’s story

45 years of listening, and then something asked for more.

A lifelong seeker of the connection between the body, the psyche and the Divine.

As a child, I was curious and precocious about the animal, insect and plant worlds. I talked to and played with earthworms, frogs, birds, rabbits, crawfish or any animal I encountered.

Outside became a place for expansion, escape, peace and connection. Climbing in trees and talking to trees gave me an understanding that we were all connected in some way.

Playing an instrument, either flute or piano, allowed me to focus, use my breath and be disciplined. I learned later how much the breath, body and sound vibration are an integral part of one’s healing.

Over time, I realized coincidences do not exist; rather, there is an unfolding of repeated patterns and experiences for us to learn from, let go of, and embrace with compassion and love.

As life moved forward, many moments unfolded, offering opportunities for me to learn, expand my understanding of what exists beyond the physical world, recognize the connection to our bodies and trust my wiser self.

As a young adult, I became a seeker of knowledge related to spirituality, the physical body and psychological understanding. I received certifications and degrees in and around massage therapy, Reiki, psychology, biology, social work, psychodrama, EMDR, somatic experiencing, transforming the experienced based brain, and somatic resilience and regulation.

Throughout my lifetime, along with other life events, I found my own healing through different modalities. As a result of my own healing, an awakening happened within me in 2018, when I received a strong message from Spirit that I was no longer to “fix” people, but to “heal and awaken them” as part of my destiny.

So, what does this mean? I returned to my original blueprint of accessing the connection I have to the Divine, to bring and illuminate each person to their inherent essence. I returned to the magic that was in me from the beginning.
