⭐ Body Bliss ⭐ Emotional Alchemy ⭐ Mental Mastery ⭐ Self Worth ⭐ Embodied Awareness ⭐ Empowerment ⭐ As a therapist, I specialise in releasing stress and pain.
I'm Melanie Drury, a holistic life coach with over twelve years of experience in holistic body therapy and energy healing. As a coach, I empower unfulfilled, stressed and stuck humans to level up their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being so that they can take their lives to the next level. I was inspired to become a life coach after a transformative journey of my own. I went through a dramatic life situation that triggered deep emotional distress, overthinking and self-doubt, and despite pushing through, I lost my peace of mind and joy of living. Eventually, I broke down and realised that I needed to shift into a higher version of myself and transform my life. With radical self-love and compassionate self-care, I was able to transform the thought patterns and transmute the emotions that were keeping me stuck. That dark inner space became a cocoon that allowed me to shed skins and evolve into a butterfly that could savour the nectar of life! It was this process that led to the discovery of a magical formula for inner success that ripples out to all areas of life. It was my expertise in holistic healing combined with a life-long interest in self-development that helped me forge my way onwards, upwards and beyond. And as massage clients and friends began approaching me to seek holistic guidance, I knew I wanted to train so I could offer professional support and facilitation in a safely held space. I can guide you on your HERO’s journey through cultivating embodied awareness as we work with the body, emotions, mind, self-worth and spirituality to raise your vibration. This expansion process helps you awaken your inner WIZARD and unlock your power to create a life of peace, joy, and ease, from the inside out. For if a hero grows through challenge, the magician expands through aligned empowerment and delight. Upwards and beyond, I can help you connect with your highest Potential, Passion and Purpose to design and manifest your ideal life. I'm a certified life coach and ITEC qualified holistic massage therapist with additional certifications in Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Ayurvedic Massage, Thai Massage, Crystal Reiki, Eden Energy Medicine and Aquatic Therapy. My lifelong interest in holistic healing and self-development add acupressure, yoga, meditation, breathwork, qi gong, somatic movement, crystal healing, angelic lightworking, emotional alchemy and mindset shifting to my skill set. I am based in Mellieha, Malta.

Why Body-Mind-Spirit is NOT ENOUGH
20 years of holistic self care and self development
And yet, at a crucial time of my life,
None of that mattered to restore my wellbeing 😩
Why?
I was overwhelmed with emotional pain 💔
My self-esteem was seriously damaged 🫣
And I didn’t know what to do about it.
It was ‘just’ a breakup…
But it seriously affected my wellbeing
And I could find no way out.
👉🏼 How to lift this pain in my chest?
👉🏼 How to handle these spinning thoughts?
👉🏼 How to stop feeling “not good enough”?
I was unable to enjoy life
Or even do my work
I was in a dark spot 😱
And despite my holistic education
I felt stuck.
This is how I realised that
EMOTIONS and SELF-WORTH
Were seriously overlooked aspects
Of the human condition.
Without *emotional regulation*
And a healthy sense of *self-love* ,
My wellbeing was always at risk,
Threatened by my wounds.
I needed an internal shift
But how?
👉🏼 I explored many avenues to understand
Why my mind was overthinking,
Stuck in negative thought loops
And a bleak outlook on life.
By focusing on changing my mind,
I learnt how to use my attention and intention
To transform limiting thoughts
Into a positive and creative mindset 🌈
👉🏼 I explored many avenues to ease the pain
That weighed me down and held me back,
Unable to enjoy life
Or feel peace, joy and ease.
By focusing on raising my vibration
I learnt emotional alchemy.
I could feel and heal,
And restore gratitude and love 💖
👉🏼 I explored many avenues
To stop feeling so small,
Putting others on a pedestal
And considering my needs unimportant.
By cultivating my relationship with myself
I could see how good I am,
Grow my self love
And treat myself right ⭐
Today...
🔥 My mind is my best friend -
It works for me not against me.
🔥 My emotions are a compass -
My internal guidance system..
🔥 And I love the girl in the mirror -
She’s most important to me.
I shifted my identity
To the Next Level version of ME
And a new version of REALITY.
These 5 pillars of wellness
*Body - Emotions - Mind - Self - Source*
Became my powerful new holistic model
For self-transformation.

I see RISK as an ADVENTURE, not a THREAT. Here's WHY
Not too long ago,
My insecurities and fear of the unknown
Held me back from actively pursuing
My passion and purpose
That looks like a holistic wellness business.
So I stayed STUCK, playing SMALL
🙈 I was full of ideas but it stopped there.
🙈 I became overwhelmed
With a to-do list that I didn't action.
🙈 I kept learning and training and practicing,
Waiting for the right moment,
Procrastinating.
🙈 I didn't tell people about the things
That I actually did and accomplished.
🙈 I didn't show up and I didn't do the work.
As a result, my skills were little known,
My business stayed small
And I couldn't make the impact I wanted.
Until I recognised my FEAR
A product of my imagination
Rooted in my insecurities.
😅 The fear of not being good enough
"I’m not ready"
😅 The fear of criticism
"What if they don't like it?"
😅 The fear of making the wrong move
"What if my situation gets worse and I'll regret it?"
😅 The fears around time and money.
"I should wait for a better time and/or more money."
😅 The fear of change and uncertainty
"What might or might not happen?"
😅 The fear of success
"How will my lifestyle change? What if I don't like it?"
Deep down I knew that, at this rate, I'll never be ready.
Then I had a REALISATION
👉 That change is growth,
And I can always pivot.
👉 That not trying avoids failure
And also success.
👉 That worrying was keeping me
From reaching those I might serve.
So I took IMPERFECT ACTION
Better than doing nothing at all.
To support myself:
⭐ I focused on WHY this is important to me.
⭐ I created a strategy that's within my capacity.
Most importantly,
⭐ I adopted an identity shift!
“What would this new version of me do?”
That's how I QUANTUM JUMPED
To a new reality and higher timeline:
❤️ Where I show up doing my best.
❤️ Where I shake off limiting perceptions.
❤️ Where I focus on empowered action.
❤️ Where I feel confident in my abilities.
❤️ Where I feel effortlessly motivated.
❤️ Where I celebrate my big and small wins.
❤️ Where every stumbling block is a turn in the right direction.
Every step into the unknown
Is another adventure on the HERO'S JOURNEY.
Will YOU step outside your comfort zone
On your quest to fulfil
Your POTENTIAL, PASSION and PURPOSE?
Get unstuck, move onwards and upwards.
Be who you're meant to be ⭐
And live the life you're meant to live!
No more playing it ‘safe’ and playing small -
You know you're meant for more.
Create the fulfilment and impact you desire.

It's time to let yourself SHINE ☀️

I MASTERED MY EMOTIONS, AND YOU CAN TOO!
Not too long ago, if something upset me,
It would feel like the carpet had been pulled from under my feet
And I’d spiral out of control.
I couldn't handle the emotions running through me.
I'd say and do things I later regretted.
I’d get defensive and push people away.
I’d get stuck in thought loops about the situation.
And it would take me days, even weeks, to recover.
Some of those emotions sat with me for years.
They made me feel uncomfortable and easily triggered.
They made me protect myself
And held me back from many experiences
For fear of feeling those feelings again.
This affected my relationships, my work,
And my ability to live my life fully.
Then I realised I couldn't keep living like this.
So I embarked on a journey of self-transformation.
I focused on changing my mind to make it my friend,
Learning to love myself more than ever before,
And raising my vibration and emotional set point.
I learned many tools and methods
To get myself out of a dark space.
And that tool-box is still with me.
Now, when I feel a wobble…
I'm immediately aware of it
And process my emotions
As easy as ABC:
🩷 Accept & Allow
🩷 Body & Breath
🩷 Compassion & Care
I quickly return to my centre,
Gain emotional insight
And can make balanced choices.
So I've transformed how I feel about emotions,
And I welcome them all.
The whole spectrum of emotions
That colour the human experience
They show me what’s important to me
And then I let them go.
This makes me (almost) fearless!
I show up.
I express my truth.
I’m unapologetically me.
And I’m allowing life
To flow to me and through me.
Emotions are the colours of life
So I’m living my human experience
At its most colourful available to me.
Mostly, I feel peaceful, grateful, joyful
And kind of in love with life!
Because I know I can face it
Boldly and brightly.
The struggles don’t end...
But you can get A LOT better at navigating the storms!
Do stuck emotions, uncontrollable triggers and emotional overwhelm
Keep you from living your happy and fulfilling life?
What would SELF-REGULATION do for you?

I have a very special event coming up THIS SUNDAY,
and I want to make sure that if you're a curious and playful creature,

and notice all the details that go unnoticed.
And you'll relate with others
with deeper understanding, acceptance, and respect,
while staying curious and playful with what's alive in this moment. 🙃
The 4 hour journey helps you to expand your awareness of spaces
and what’s moving in you and others,

transform control into creativity,
and find harmony in allowing and responding.
Limited spaces, send me a DM and book your place now 🙂

"I BELIEVE IN YOU!" 🤩
Powerful words.
Especially when you don't believe in yourself, right? 😱
Everyone has big dreams that they're perfectly capable of achieving, but don't follow them.
Because what they believe is:
"I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH." 😔
Your parents meant well when they encouraged you to do better.
As a little boy or girl, what you heard was that it wasn't good enough. 😕
Your teachers meant well when they disciplined you over what's right or wrong.
What you felt was that what came natural to you, such as running or screaming, was a bad thing. 😟
So you lost trust in that impulse of excitement.
And you lost your voice. 😳
You let go of your unique spark so you'd be like everyone else, be "good" and fit in.
But I SEE YOU 😍
And you know why?
Because I also felt that I wasn't good enough.
Always the black sheep of the family. Different. 🙄
I also didn't believe in myself.
I'll confess I still get camera-shy to speak on video. ☺️
I get it that it's hard to put yourself out there at the risk of being judged!
The real question is:
👉🏼 Do I judge myself? 🧐
And beyond that...
👉🏼 What if I didn't judge myself? 👀
👉🏼 What if I fully loved and accepted my unique expression of being human on this earth? 👀
👉🏼 What if I allowed myself to just be me, and share my gifts, without worrying about the outcome? 👀
After all, not _everyone_ must like me.
'My' people will like me.
Not _everyone_ must like my gifts.
👉🏼 If just one person benefited, isn't that already worth it? 😃
👉🏼 If I lived following my dream, isn't that already worth it? 😃
I know that sometimes it's a long road to showing up, but it begins with the first step. 👣
Show up for yourself first. 👀
Give yourself the space to express yourself. 🥳
Do that thing you always wanted but couldn't justify your investment of time and money 🧚🏻♀️
Allow yourself to *LIVE YOUR LIFE AS YOU WANT IT* .
And *BE THE PERSON YOU ARE MEANT TO BE*

I abandoned myself for years. And this is what I learnt.
i know what it's like to abandon myself in order to not abandon someone.
I felt responsible for them. I needed to help them and take care of them, sometimes even if they didn't ask or want it.
Like this, I felt useful. Needed.
I was important to someone.
It made me feel worthy.
I also know what it's like to abandon myself in order to not be abandoned by someone.
I wanted their approval. If they didn't like me, they might leave me. And it would confirm that I'm not loveable.
I wanted their validation. To be liked and wanted. To belong.
I wanted their love.
It made me feel worthy.
And I was always losing myself.
Until I realised something important:
The value, love and acceptance that I was missing was my own.
Let's face it: over-giving and people-pleasing are draining.
And really do nothing for your self-esteem.
Nor how loveable you actually feel.
Now I care about my well-being.
I feel better when I value myself.
When I respect myself.
When I care about my needs.
When I do what makes me happy.
When I allow myself to be.
When I allow my voice to speak my truth.
I feel better when I'm me.
I feel better when I pause to be with myself.
When I understand what's important to me.
When I follow my excitement.
When I experience and learn and grow.
When I allow myself to live my beautiful life.
When I follow my passion and purpose.
When my heart feels fulfilled.
When I'm so full that I freely pour my love on others and they feel better too.
Self-care isn't selfish.
And you can't pour from an empty cup.
So go ahead now, give yourself a hug and promise to take good care of that creature!
Just imagine... what would your life be like if you could unapologetically do the things you've been putting on the back burner? That course? That retreat? That holiday?
Still can't? DM the word Self-Love and know that help's on the way.

Whether you have back pain or it's a desire to relax and pamper yourself that brings you, expect personal attention because you deserve it. Although I'm an ITEC qualified masseuse with a wide variety of massage training qualifications, my true qualification is a life-long interest in holistic healing. This is no ordinary massage, it is a meditative sensory journey to physical and mental well-being.
