hey there, i am melissa, a spirit medicine Guide + empowerment coach
Honing my path & purpose has been filled with questions and experiences that led to initiations + intensive shamanic training + coming undone and shifting perspectives + growing awareness and expansion.
Steeped in my ancestral medicine, I bring this forth to you from the currents of twenty-five years in the healing arts & life as a human with a shamanic lens and looking glass.
I am also known as mother and partner, adventurer, ocean lover, forest lover, animal lover, alchemist, beholder of light and shadow, conduit of magic, seer, seed sower, shamanic healer, truth speaker, medicine woman, mystic... the titles continue to present.
I am a mystic at heart, which truly means that I come with earnest curiosity to play with perspectives and expand the way you hold things.
I consider it an honor to work in this way.
My job is applying curiosity and being the sacred witness + holding safe & sacred space + tracking your process. The rest is an unfolding, and also a little like surfing the currents of what comes. There is something incredibly magical about being partnered with and tracked as you explore.
Good coaching and good shamanic healing require
excellent tracking and
space holding.
I'm here for it.

Our clients
Years of bodywork training & practice nurtured this path within me. The healing skills of Reiki, Chakra, and Pranic Energy that I studied along the way all show up within my sessions. Three years of studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture as well as Japanese styles at The New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) also flow through my clinical voice. In the time following, I found my way to learning from the most capable and knowledgeable of shamanic and magical teachers. I am fortunate to have studied "The Art and Practice of Shamanic Healing: A Three-Year Professional Training and Initiation" with Julie M. Kramer. I found myself immersed in the boundless wellspring of wisdom that is Betsy Bergstrom, honing skills of Curse and Thought-Form Unraveling, Compassionate Depossession, working more extensively with Energy Hygiene, and awakening to the magic of seidr and the Nordic mysteries in "Völva, Vala, Norn" studies. I delved into the marvels and practical sagacity of Trolldom, Swedish Folk Medicine and Nordic Spirituality with Johannes Gårdbäck. Most recently, I've had the privilege of being finely honed by the revered teachings of Martha Beck, through her transformative Wayfinder Life Coach program.
The depths of my gratitude for my teachers along this path.
The intensive cauldrons of our diverse learnings form who we are in the ever evolving moments of our lives.

"No matter what comes along, we’re always standing at the center of the world in the middle of sacred space, and everything that comes into that circle and exists with us there has come to teach us what we need to know. Our life’s work is to wake up, to let the things that enter into the circle wake you up rather than put you to sleep."
