hey there, i am melissa, a spirit medicine 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-four 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 and tracking your process. The rest is an unfolding, and also a little like surfing the currents of what comes.
Good coaching and good shamanic healing require
excellent tracking and
space holding.
I'm here for it.

Our clients
Years of bodywork trainings & practice grew this path within me. The energy healing skills of Reiki, Chakra Energy Healing, and Pranic Healing that I studied along the way all show up within my sessions. Three years of studying Traditional Chinese medicine and acupunture styles as well as Japanese style acupuncture at The New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) all flow through my clinical voice, and then there have been the most recent years where I found myself learning from the most capable and knowledgable of shamanic and magical teachers. I have been fortunate enough to study "The Art and Practice of Shamanic Healing: A Three-Year Professional Training and Initiation" with Julie M. Kramer. I found myself drinking from the incredible fountain of knowledge 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 stumbled upon and studied the wonders and practical skills of Trolldom, Swedish Folk Medicine and Nordic Spirituality with Johannes Gårdbäck.
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."
