Healing sessions are 90-minutes and include a pre-session consult via email as well as a post-session follow up via email. I offer a sliding scale of $177 - $244 for Healing Sessions.

Anointing Ceremony

“Melinda poured so much love into me. What a beautiful gift it was to be the recipient! She made me feel very safe and comfortable at every step.”

— Vera

For thousands of years, temples devoted to the divine feminine were often the center of community life.

The women who tended these temples were priestesses trained in the sacred arts. They performed many functions in the community and cultivated the land surrounding the temple, growing food as well as plants, flowers, and herbs that were used for healing and anointing. Holy oils were used to mark rites of passage and times of celebration. Scent Priestesses utilized the holy oils and spiritual healing techniques to bring balance to the mind, body, and spirit. It is my honor to bring this ancient practice to our community.

“The anointing was so powerful, like an ancient healing. I got clarity during the session and I felt so much more in touch with my truest self. It felt like coming home. I left feeling so connected and centered. ”

Experience Your Body as a Sacred Temple

Anointing has been utilized for thousands of years as a sacred practice of blessing and devotion.

During this ceremony, I will use high-frequency essential oils and healing touch to anoint your body, helping you to release what no longer serves you and welcome in love and support. I also incorporate tuning forks and crystals to help create balance in the mind, body, and spirit.

Each anointing experience is unique. We will discuss your personal intention for the ceremony before we begin.

I invite you to bring your journal and an open heart. I am honored to hold space for you through this sacred practice.

“I felt amazing after my anointing. My nervous system was calm. I felt refreshed and loved. It helped me feel that I could love my body and honor it like Melinda did. ”

Breathwork

“I booked a breathwork session with Melinda with the intention to move stagnant energy out & wake up the chi energy in my body. I imagined it would be a nice self care moment that would make me feel good after but what I received was SO MUCH MORE!

Her grounded facilitation and loving presence helped me feel safe enough to access another dimension. I ended up having an incredibly vivid experience where my dad and grandma, who have passed, gave my upcoming project their blessing. I left the breathwork session feeling so empowered, supported, held, and healed on a deeper level.

I cannot thank Melinda enough for the core memory she made possible through her facilitation and offering. Highly recommend as you will be in great hands! ”

In 2023, I was sitting under a tent with 150 other women during a retreat with my mentor, Sarah Jenks. I didn’t know anything about (this particular form of) breathwork but the moment Jeannine Yoder walked into the tent, my whole body started shaking. I knew something important was about to happen.

During that first breathwork session, I realized a piece of my soul had not been in my body. (I know it’s sounds kind of wild and honestly, it was!). Over the course of the session, I became more embodied, as in the piece of my soul returned to my physical being. I was crying and shaking as my body released and reintegrated. I also had a visit from my in-laws (who’ve been on the other side since 2008). They gave me an important message that helped me release a limiting belief that had been impacting my work since their death.

  I immediately knew I wanted to train as a breathwork healer so I could share this powerful somatic modality with my community.   

I have had all kinds of experiences during breath work - shaking, crying, screaming, laughing, writhing on the floor in emotional pain and in sensual delight. Every session is different, and every session is healing in its own way.   There’s no way to know what your experience will be during breathwork. What I can promise is that I will hold sacred space and be with you every step of the way.   

Breathwork is a bridge between the subconscious mind, our cellular body, and the spiritual essence of who we are. It helps us clear stuck energy, shift limiting beliefs, and release stored emotions and trauma from the body.

The science behind breathwork is that it activates the parasympathetic nervous system. It floods our cells with oxygen, which activates the mitochondria (the energy powerhouses of our cells). This process of oxygenation gives your body a surge of vitality and facilitates emotional release. Breathwork helps reset the nervous system, bringing you out of stress mode and into a state of deep healing. It creates transformation on the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic levels.   

*Please note: this form of breathwork is contraindicated for pregnant people and those with epilepsy or other seizure disorders.

“I joined a group breathwork session facilitated by Melinda and it was a powerful container that offered so much stability, safety, softness, and strength—a beautiful reflection of the energy she holds and brings to every space she’s in.

I often struggle to maintain breath during these types of processes, and while that challenge showed up again, Melinda’s skillful facilitation helped me stay present and open. Her mastery in guiding transcendent journeys allowed me to access deep insight and make important connections between present and past life experiences, as well as how they related to harmful beliefs I’d internalized as a child.

I had a huge emotional release and was able to let go of so much weight and responsibility that never belonged to me in the first place. I left feeling lighter, relieved, empowered, and more hopeful for the future. This was a profoundly healing experience.”
