| The roots of Melanie's faith are richly grounded in the essence and spirit of Christianity. She has the spiritual gifts of faith and intercession. With this strong Christian foundation she embraces holistic healing and is passionate about the mind-body-spirit connection. She is a graduate of Oasis Ministries Spiritual Direction for Spiritual Guides, a certified Meditating for Life Instructor, Usui Reiki Master Teacher, and an Aviana Mindful Touch Therapy Practitioner. |
| In addition to spiritual direction, complementary healing, and meditation mentoring, Melanie enjoys facilitating spiritual growth groups. She weaves many contemplative practices into her own life, and it is her joy to lead others in contemplative experiences. |
| Melanie's vision is to expand the Serenity House where sacred space will be available for additional offerings that attend to the whole individual, including day and overnight retreats, spiritual direction, and various complementary healing modalities. |
