Welcome to my new website!
about
Hi!
I'm Melanie.
I'm that person you'll find curled up on my favorite spot on the sofa, completely immersed in the latest Korean and Chinese dramas – I'm slightly obsessed. Ask me about my current favorite!
When I'm not strategically planning my next drama marathon, I'm channeling my energy into the favorite people in my life, my community or learning. I support various local organizations. Speed isn't my superpower, but enthusiasm certainly is – I love a themed 5k. Give me glow sticks, bubbles or color powder, and I'll be there with a smile!
My friends know me for two things: my ability to find humor in unexpected times and places and my knack for getting things done. Need someone to turn chaos into order or tackle a challenging project? I'm your person.
Joy is my compass—whether I'm organizing events, joining charity runs, or sharing my perfectly-timed (okay, sometimes random) humor.
My greatest joys come from life's meaningful connections—whether I'm spending time with family, chatting with friends, or meeting kindred spirits. I'm that person who can't help but dance when a good song comes on. My curiosity keeps me exploring and learning—it's what keeps life sparkling with possibilities.
NOW, HERE'S WHY You're Here
You've come to hit pause. To take a deep breath under the gentle glow of the moon and let go of the stress that's weighing you down. You're ready to refresh your perspective, realign your path, and reignite your passion.
As someone who navigates both the corporate world and complementary holistic practices, I understand the unique pressures you face. Through my signature R&R sessions (Reiki and Reading), I offer what I wished I'd found earlier in my own journey - a practical approach to spiritual wellness that actually fits into your busy life.
Each session combines calming Reiki energy work with intuitive guidance, helping you:
-
Release stress and restore balance
-
Gain clarity on decisions and next steps
-
Develop practical tools for maintaining peace amid workplace demands
I also bring these transformative techniques into the corporate space through workshops on work-life balance, helping teams find practical ways to maintain their energy and clarity.
Ready to explore how R&R sessions can support your path? Let's start with a complimentary 15-minute connection call to discuss your needs.
Born in a tiny Louisiana town, I followed my childhood dreams to California at 22, where family vacation memories turned into reality—and where I eventually met my husband. Now we're navigating life in the Bay Area with two food-motivated teenagers (seriously, mention a good restaurant and they appear like magic!).
When I'm not practicing Reiki (trained in both Usui and Kali Ki) and offering intuitive readings, you'll find me deepening my practice. I'm passionate about continuous growth—from participating in various Reiki shares to learn from fellow practitioners, to specialized training in oncology Reiki support. As a 'no tools' intuitive, I dedicate time each week to refining my natural abilities through practice sessions.
Here are five things you probably don't know about me.
My favorite animal:
Penguin
Favorite way to unwind:
Annoying my kids
My favorite type of movie to watch:
Action. I love a great fight scene.
Something I enjoy during my free time:
Listening to stand up comedy
One skill that I have struggled to master?
Cooking. Actually, I gave up.
