Hi, I'm Melissa Brown

I am 38 years old and I was initiated into motherhood 16 years ago when I gave birth to my son, Zane. We have two female cats; Poppi radiant in gold fur and sleek baby Ami in black!

I am certified as a professional Cosmetologist, trained Birth and Postpartum Doula and Registered Yoga Instructor (RYT 200). I claim my capabilities as an Intuitive Energy Practitioner in a broader sense having been certified in Reiki with life’s experience showing me many ways to support myself with differing systems.

I primarily value well & wise authenticity, integrity, honesty, vulnerability, boundaries and connection between human beings and I love to foster these experiences.

Throughout my life, I have confronted significant personal health challenges, including arthritis, chronic pain, two herniated cervical discs, a shoulder surgery, adrenal fatigue, C-PTSD, and a death experience that I miraculously returned from — all stemming from extensive trauma and abuse. When I found it was possible that conventional Western medical approaches like talk therapy and prescription medications could exacerbate my symptoms without somatic practices, my body and spirit guided me toward holistic healing modalities; specifically yoga and energy work.
 
Yoga transformed my life by enabling me to work through accumulated anxiety, depression and addiction. Ultimately it empowered me to develop self-control, practice moderation and live without leaning heavily on prescription medications and daily compulsive behaviors for relief. I understand that this path involves fluctuating experiences; including moments of bliss and challenge. My core philosophy is that each individual carries a profound inner light that serves as their own greatest teacher. My role as your guide and Doula is to help you rediscover and reconnect with this fundamental truth in a safe, supportive, non-competitive environment.
