We’re in this Together
Hi, my name is Melanie and I work in the fields of holistic wellness, mental health, and addiction recovery. It is my firm belief that you deserve a safe space as you reclaim your life and rediscover your power.
The task of healing our individual and collective pasts is too big for any one of us to accomplish alone. Together we’ll explore new resources, cocreate strategies for self-loving action, and shift old agreements to make room for new goals that uplift ourselves, each other, and the world.
Support is available.
Some common topics discussed during sessions are processing grief, navigating difficult relationships, & holding space for challenging emotions. I’d love the opportunity to be one of your cheerleaders as you learn to trust your own divine intuition and release the energetic imprints of trauma as you reclaim your authenticity.
Individual sessions such as Reiki Energy Healing, Holistic Life Coaching & Oracle Card Reading offer customized solutions for empowered healing. In addition to 1-on-1 and small group services I also collaborate with others to facilitate community events or retreats. Contact me to learn more!

Shimmy Mob 2025
In solidarity with women all over the world, my friend and I participated to celebrate body autonomy through movement and personal expression. Shimmy Mob-Willimantic participated at local events in May on World Belly Dance Day and in September at the town-wide 3rd Thursday extravaganza! We raised funds for United Services, Inc. which aims to create healthy communities in Northeastern Connecticut through mental health and social services. The team performed 7 times in collaboration for this global initiative that aims to bring education and awareness regarding domestic violence and emotional abuse.

Here are just a few ways I work with members of my community to offer consistent encouragement:
Courses, classes, and book clubs that offer opportunities to try out new personal practices so we can gather together in real time to learn, grown, heal, and celebrate one another!
In collaboration with TriCircle and The Phoenix, I facilitate monthly events that are free to attend! The goal of these events is to reduce stress, have fun, and build healthy coping skills including access to free weekly SMART Meetings which provide support and evidence-based practices for all types of recovery.
Monthly coaching packages include 1 session, 1 check-in call, and access to the Telegram group for daily encouragement.
I offer Reiki trainings and oracle card reading classes as well as provide ongoing mentorship based on the needs/goals of the student.
A private Telegram group I host for my clients & students in which I provide inspiration, post energy updates, offer activities and nurture small group discussions without the pitfalls of other social media apps.
