"Mel is a master of her craft. From the second you meet this incredible woman, you know that you will be truly heard and respected, whilst being supported to engage as much as you're comfortable with. There is no pushing or coercing into tackling your fears, just a confident and knowledgeable guide who will hold you and/or the group to work through your deepest issues - but only if that's where you're ready to go. Mel's class changed my life and is helping me to lead a remarkable one." - (M. Stevens, Business Owner, Massage Therapist & Meditation Teacher)

Working with Melissa helps you find the courage to express yourself as you really are in a non-    judgmental, supportive environment,she doesn’t just teach us what she knows, she helps us find the knowledge that already exists in ourselves. I started this class after giving up work and my house for medical    reasons, I was pretty lost. My confidence and self-worth were so low and I was a perfectionist and was way too hard on myself. Melissa's Creative Expression classes have helped me work through my worries and insecurities . It’s been a pretty hard year but, with Mel’s help, I am a stronger, happier person despite it all. In our sessions I create art as a release and expression of feelings I could never have put into words. Usually I get some sort of epiphany - be it an answer to something was worrying about or a different perspective on situations in my life. I had always loved painting and drawing, but I was such a perfectionist that I never did any! Working with Mel has helped me let go of those inner voices that used to critique everything I did. I realised that a lot of the things I didn’t like about myself weren’t even true! No-one ever used to see my work, but now I’m proud of it. These classes have helped me in so many ways; it taught me to recognise the beauty in myself and I found a strength and resilience that I never knew I had. I walk into class flustered and stressed and I walk out calm and optimistic and each week I accept and love myself and the world that little bit more.” - (D. Rushbrook, teacher)

“Mel facilitates each session with a clear intention and intuits the needs present with a remarkable level of sensitivity. She is able to hold space, creating safety and non judgement with healthy boundaries provided, that allows us the opportunity to reach emotional and spiritual depths that we may not  be open to accessing without that safety. Mel offers gentle guidance in such a way that enables us to tap into our own internal resources paving the way for a greater sense of empowerment, courage and self connection. There is also a level of playfulness sprinkled throughout our sessions that allows us to approach the deep, inner work with a sense of exploration and joy. I feel truly humbled to bare witness to the process which Mel facilitates in our Creative Meditation circle and know that her inspirational power will reach the hearts of many!” - (I.Petrova, Transpersonal Art Therapist)
