Mel’s life journey originally began with a range of challenging life events – which inspired a passion within her for exploring the far reaches of consciousness.In 1971-1972, when Mel was 16, she had a Kundalini awakening which deepened her ability to tune into the realm of Spirit. Mel began her studies of healing in her 20’s, which led her to later explore Reiki, Reiki Tummo and Reconnective Healing. Eventually Mel developed her own intuitive healing style for working with clients – which has helped many people to heal and release trauma – plus pain of all kinds. Mel has also received a degree in fine art Textiles from California College of the Arts in Oakland. She is well known for producing fine artwork and photography which has strong emotional resonance.
