About Mel
My path into holistic therapy began in 2002 with my Reiki training — and hasn't stopped since. More than two decades later, including eleven years managing a holistic cancer charity, I bring a depth of knowledge and lived experience to every session that simply can't be taught in a classroom.
I'm trained across a broad range of modalities — including aromatherapy massage, reflexology, Reiki (to Master level), myofascial release, lymphatic drainage and tuning fork therapy — and I work intuitively, reading what your body needs and responding accordingly. No two sessions are ever the same.
I've recently added Signature Facials to my treatments, including natural lift facial massage — a beautifully relaxing way to soften tension and leave your skin glowing.
I also hold specialist certification in oncology massage and cancer & palliative reflexology — one of very few therapists in Leicestershire qualified to offer safe, adaptive, gentle therapy to those at any stage of a cancer diagnosis, including during active treatment. This specialism isn't just professional — it's deeply personal. My eleven years supporting people living with and beyond cancer shape every oncology session I offer.
Blissful Healing was born from a simple belief: that everybody deserves to feel genuinely held, cared for and restored — not just physically, but on every level. There's no rushing here, and no upselling — just a warm, quiet space near Melton Mowbray, and the time to properly let go.
I look forward to meeting you soon.

What to expect
When you arrive, you'll be welcomed into a calm, quiet space designed to help you slow down and switch off. Every treatment begins with a short consultation so I can understand how you're feeling and tailor your session to what you need on the day.
I send all new clients a short form to complete online beforehand, so we can spend more of your time focused on you. You'll have privacy to get comfortable, and throughout your treatment you're always welcome to ask for more or less pressure — this time is entirely yours.
When you arrive, please park on the driveway. Then step in, let go, and let the magic begin.

Aftercare
To get the most from your treatment, take a little time afterwards to rest where you can.
Drink plenty of water to help your body flush through, and avoid anything too strenuous for the rest of the day.
It's completely normal to feel deeply relaxed, a little sleepy, or occasionally emotional after a session — this is your body responding and rebalancing.
If you have any questions after your visit, you're always welcome to get in touch.
