In the early 2000s, Melissa embarked on a journey of self-discovery which lead to a very rewarding and beautiful spiritual awakening.
She has since mastered the healing arts of massage, Reiki, and meditation; sharpened her intuitive skills and awareness; as well as created her own ‘spin’ on healing, which she refers to as “loving energy healing” – you’ll often see her hashtag it as #biglove!
Melissa is the proud Founder and lead instructor of Natural Healer™ - a board certified, accredited school with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP) and an accredited institution with the International Natural Healers Association (INHA) and Complementary Therapists Accredited Association (CTAA) - a Usui Reiki Master Teacher (2014) and Practitioner, an Accredited Training Provider (IAOT), CPE Provider and Full Member of the MAA, President of the Natural Healer Society (NHS), Certified Meditation Teacher (MSA), and Massage Therapist (DMA).
She is also an author, podcaster, blogger, and speaker who loves sharing easy, actionable ways for people to heal themselves and others. Deeming herself as an ‘everyday’ person, Melissa enjoys spending time with friends and family, loves a good laugh, adores animals, gets excited about cooking creative vegetarian meals, and delights in sharing life experiences with her husband Shawn.
