Melissa's Story
My journey as a healer began when toxic environmental factors in my workplace forced me to leave a career as an environmental scientist, resulting in what doctors termed total and permanent disability. After exploring various conventional and holistic treatments, I discovered the power of daily meditation and Qi Gong. Through meditation to alleviate migraines and studies in Qi Gong, I found my healing path. This practice awakened healing abilities, leading to profound kundalini energy experiences and insights. Embracing the gift and responsibility of being a healer, I committed to assisting others on their journeys. Our energy bodies serve as portals when we learn to listen and engage with their healing and evolutionary capabilities in harmony with spirit and nature.
