My Story
Perimenopause began for me in my late 40s with hot flushes, irregular periods, insomnia ,and the sudden onset of debilitating migraines. I found that it wasn’t just physical symptoms I had to cope with; emotionally this raised a lot of anxiety and sadness for me, most notably around ageing and feeling out of control of my body.
I just wasn’t ready for this change.
By working through the deep-seated, limiting beliefs I was holding about menopause, making nutritional changes, and using the support of natural remedies, I was able to turn this around in a just a few short weeks: My physical symptoms resolved, and I began to feel empowered and excited about embarking on this new life chapter.
My journey with natural healthcare began many years before perimenopause...
From a young age and into early adulthood I was blighted by recurring illness and visits to the GP and specialists, resulting in the inevitable repeated courses of antibiotics. In my early 20s, a friend’s recommendation that I visit a Homeopath finally restored my health within 3 months of my first visit. I have never looked back and in 2007 began my own journey to becoming a Homeopath. I continue to support my own health and that of my family with Homeopathy, and am honoured to have helped hundreds of clients regain wellness using this amazing healing modality.
In 2016 events in my personal life led me to ThetaHealing. This powerful personal development and energy-healing modality both enhanced and expanded my understanding of the true causes of ill health. I believe that a healthy body requires balance on the emotional, mental and spiritual level as well as the physical. I have learned that symptoms are the body’s ‘red flag’ system; alerting us to imbalance and calling us to change. Within each of us resides an innate healing ability; I have come to understand that this power is greater than any situation, circumstance or condition.
I now blend my knowledge of multiple different healing modalities into a complete transformational experience for women at all stages of menopause – The Pre-Menopause Preparation Programme, The Menopause Revolution Programme, and Age Beautifully for women in their post-menopausal years.
Why theta/intuitive healing?
Through my own experience, and that of the many women I have supported, I have discovered that at perimenopause and menopause, a lot of our unhealed trauma will surface for healing so that we do not carry this into the next chapter of our lives: This can manifest as anxiety, mood swings and even depression. And I have found that the heavier the emotional baggage, the worse physical and hormonal symptoms can be.
Post-menopause, we may not be on such a hormonal rollercoaster, but this time in our lives often brings up fears around ageing, and I have seen many women struggle with a loss of confidence in themselves and their health.
Theta is incredibly powerful for healing old wounds and limiting thoughts about ourselves and our bodies, and for getting to the roots of emotional trauma in a supportive and gentle way.
“I feel empowered to face this next phase of life!”
“So many emotions and memories that I had stuffed down and pretended did not exist came forward, were discussed, and were healed. I was surprised at how I handle life now as an adult is so deeply rooted in events that happened at a young age.
I no longer have the horrible headaches, my sleep is better, my stress is less, and I feel empowered to face this next phase of life.”

Why Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a highly individualised and holistic system of medicine tailored specifically for you and your health needs. Homeopathic medicines, known as remedies, work by stimulating the body’s own healing systems; helping to bring your body back into balance effectively, gently and with no side-effects. Homeopathy can be used safely alongside most other therapies including conventional medication.
I have witnessed incredible healing in myself and in hundreds of clients using natural medicine and intuitive healing. I believe that the menopause can be a time of incredibly positive life transformation for women. I look forward to showing you what is possible for you at this stage in your life.
“The journey to becoming a wise-woman begins here!”
I was struggling with tremendous anxiety, sleeplessness, grief, exhaustion from stress, and general malaise. I did not realise how much anger and sadness I was holding in. Letting it go and marking it healed helped me to move forward. Emotionally I felt lighter and I am able to sleep and get rest, which has lessened my anxiety and exhaustion. The homoeopathic remedies made a marked difference in my physical body. I feel better for the first time in a long while.
I loved Melissa’s insights and truth. I loved her warmth and the genuine friendship between women. You cannot grow as a person if you do not understand yourself, so Melissa’s programme will start you on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. The journey to becoming a wise woman begins here!
