Cert IV Kinesiology, Intuitive Meditation for Kinesiology Certification, Reiki Usui Level 3A Intro to Mastership, Level 1 Integrated Sound Healing, Registered Member AIK
Melissa is a Registered complementary medicine practitioner, offering holistic balancing. She has been practicing since 2013 and is passionate about preventative medicine in facilitating a mindset of compassionate self-care which in turn will nurture wellbeing in the broader community.
Drawn to Kinesiology through curiosity around a sign outside what was the first college of complementary medicine in Melbourne to offer a government accredited qualification, Melissa attended an information weekend and was inspired enough to sign up! In doing so, she began a transition from years of corporate and publicity work which, even though engaging and mostly enjoyable, was top-heavy on work hours and not always imbued with a feeling of giving back to community. Melissa understands all too well the pressures of trying to attain a work-rest-reflect balance and the impact of compounding physical and emotional stress if left unchecked.
Melissa feels that Kinesiology, which overlays the science of Western medicine (anatomy and physiology) with the ancient wisdom of Eastern (energetic) health philosophies such as the Chinese meridian and Indian chakra systems, just makes sense as it allows her and clients to address issues from many different angles of possibility. Most importantly, it connects thought to function and vice versa, tapping into the vital mind-body acknowledgement.
From 2014 onwards, Melissa has added the Japanese energetic health practice of reiki to her work to also offer clients deep, cellular relaxation, detoxification and heightened innate healing. Through further studies, Melissa now blends intuitive meditation and the vibrational medicine of sound healing into client balances and if required, can offer these as full sessions.
Melissa sees clients of all ages for a myriad of issues from physical pain to work-related stress, learning difficulties to spiritual development. She has particular interest and experience in soul connection and living from our heart-space – trusting our intuition; life phase, relationship and career transitions; the senses and brain integration; mental health and balancing family structures and communication. In tailoring client sessions and sharing the tools of her chosen modalities, Melissa feels she honours her personal dharma, “I will be curious, connect and contribute.”
Melissa has lived in Port Melbourne for 12 years but having been a North Carlton/Fitzroy resident for over 20 years prior to that and with continued connections to the area, she is delighted to be serving what she still feels is her community here at Kundalini House. Her work, along with family time, friends, travel, dancing, Italian language studies, drawing and gardening are just some of the things that bring Melissa joy in life.
One of Melissa’s favourite quotes is, “Seek first to understand, then to be understood” as it gives us pause before informing our movement through life and it upholds her belief that looking at your health and wellness from a different angle could be the key to you finding your natural balance and rhythm.
