The setting appears to be a garden or backyard.

Melissa’s journey began with unimaginable loss—the accidental drowning of her young son, Drew. This tragedy led her to confront the depths of grief and ultimately discover profound lessons about healing. Over two decades ago, Melissa chose to embrace healing as an intentional, ongoing process. She reimagined her son’s loss as a source of wisdom and transformed his absence into a guiding presence that continues to uplift her.

Through her experiences, Melissa discovered that grief doesn’t define us; the choices we make in its presence do. She encourages others to meet grief with courage, resilience, and love, showing that healing is possible and that love transcends physical existence.

A Highly Creative And Personalized Approach

Her deeply personal journey through grief has shaped her compassionate approach, allowing her to connect authentically with those navigating the complexities of loss.

Melissa’s philosophy of healing is grounded in the belief that grief recovery is a uniquely personal experience. Understanding that no two journeys are the same, she draws from her own story and integrates a variety of healing modalities into her practice. This holistic approach empowers her clients to discover the methods and tools that resonate most with them, guiding them toward a path of recovery, resilience, and renewed purpose.
