continuMy name is Melanie, most people call me Mel. I’ve had a varied career, spending almost 25 years of my working life in a various businesses from food manufacture, construction, marketing/incentives/logistics and the third sector.
Now I’m my own boss business – Blissful Healing, in charge of my own destiny wherever that might be.
I’m not new to complementary therapies, far from it. My interest began in 1996 when Steve, my husband who is a type 1 diabetic, was out playing football at the local park with our youngest son. On their way home, Steve had a very bad hypo which resulted in hospital treatment, which was bad enough but it could have easily have been far worse. This shook us both and we began to investigate what we could do to help improve Steve’s diabetes and our general health and wellbeing. It wasn’t long before Steve went off to study nutrition and I became a regular visitor to our local health food shop learning everything I could from the lovely lady who ran it. We both began reading about lots of different healing modalities and practicing on each other.
Then in 2001, I began my journey with Reiki Healing, qualifying as a Reiki Practitioner. I’ve added lots more since then and I’m continuously updating my skills:

Nowadays, I share my time using bodywork such as aromatherapy massage, reflexology, reiki etc and using my skills in hypnotherapy and meditation.
No treatment session is the same, because we are all different and at different points of our life. My clients come from all walks of life, which is fantastic, but I retain a love of helping women who may be going to pivotal changes in life such as Pregnancy, menopause or those diagnosed with cancer (at any point from diagnosis to end of life) but also love helping people who are struggling or being blocked from leading a fulfilling life because of obstacles their subconscious has created.
I look forward to meeting you soon.

How I work.....
”’Clients book direct with me or through Fresha using the link below. I send all new clients a consultation form to complete online, this means that I can spend more time at your session on YOU! You will receive a booking confirmation when you book and then a reminder the day before your appointment, just in case you didn’t get it in your diary.
When you arrive, please park on the driveway next to my white Quashqai. Once you step into my treatment room, you can release the stresses and strains of everyday living. This time is for you…so relax and let the magic begin
