## My journey with Crohn’s disease

In 2007, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Along with the physical challenges,
I struggled with depression and anxiety. I tried different diets, exercise and numerous
approaches to improve my health, but saw little improvement. So I kept looking for
answers.

Eventually my journey led me to explore a deeper connection between the mind, body
and spirit: the impact stress, emotional patterns, our nervous system and our beliefs
can have on our overall well-being.

Today, I no longer experience Crohn’s symptoms, depression or anxiety. That personal
transformation changed my life, and it’s why I’m so passionate about helping others
explore their own paths.

## From hairstylist to Reiki practitioner

After 36 years in the beauty industry as a hairstylist, I knew I wanted to help 
people in a deeper way. I’ve always loved connecting with people, listening to their
stories and helping them feel good about themselves.

Today I bring together my personal experience and training in holistic wellness,
Reiki, energy work, mindfulness and mindset techniques. My approach honors the connection
between your mind, body and spirit.

Together, we can explore patterns, emotions, stress and other factors that may be
influencing how you feel, while finding supportive practices that work for you.

My belief

## I believe all healing is possible

There is always room for hope, growth and new possibilities, even when you’ve tried
everything you know to do. You are more than your symptoms, your diagnosis or your
past. You deserve to feel heard, supported and empowered to take an active role 
in your well-being.

Training & certifications

You don’t have to have everything figured out. You simply have to be willing to 
begin.

With love, Melissa
