Rooted in compassion, intuition, and over 25 years of nursing experience, Melissa blends science, spirit, and sound to support healing of the whole person. As a Reiki Master and Teacher, she creates nurturing spaces where individuals can reconnect with themselves through energy work, mindfulness, and deep restoration.

Melissa’s lifelong passion for herbal medicine began long before it became part of her professional practice. Drawn to the wisdom of plants and holistic healing from an early age, she has spent years studying the medicinal and energetic properties of herbs and weaving them into her work with intention and care.

After more than two decades serving families and newborns in the NICU, Melissa felt called to expand her healing path beyond traditional medicine. In 2023 she became a Reiki Master and Teacher and in 2025, she became certified in Sound Therapy and now incorporates crystal singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, and vibrational healing into her Reiki sessions and community sound baths.

Her offerings are heart-centered, grounding, and deeply restorative, honoring the body’s innate ability to heal when given the space, support, and resonance to do so. Through Reiki, sound, herbs, and compassionate presence, Melissa invites others to slow down, reconnect, and return to themselves.

With 25 years of nursing experience, Melissa brings clinical knowledge and compassionate care to every session. Her deep, lifelong study of herbalism and intuitive training as a Reiki Master combine into a grounded, holistic approach. She listens closely, senses what’s needed, and blends practical healing with soulful guidance.

What Melissa offers:

• Gentle, intuitive Reiki to restore energetic balance and ease stress.

• Herbal wisdom tailored to your body and life—infusions, tinctures, and rituals that support daily wellbeing.

• Elemental guidance to help you identify which forces are out of balance and practical ways to restore harmony.

• Compassionate nursing insight to ensure safety and effectiveness in all recommendations.

There is both art and science to healing. Melissa meets you where you are, helping you cultivate self-care practices and tools that resonate with your unique path. Through reiki, herbs, and mindful use of the elements, she guides you to remember one simple truth: you are your own north star on the compass of life.
