This is me. Turning 50. In the raw. No makeup. No filters. Eye bags at their best. Chillin' in my backyard. I wanted to do it up big this year. Get my hair and makeup done. Try to be more glam and more than I really am. But then I realized I just want to be me.

In a World that's becoming more and more fake, with AI forcing me to constantly question what's real and what isn't. I just want to be authentically me. So this morning I brushed my hair and my teeth and threw on my athletic gear, preparing for a hike in the woods, my favorite place to be. It's going to be 60 and sunny today. Unusually beautiful for Minnesota in early November.

This is me. Turning 50. It will be official tomorrow. 11/5/25.

I'll be honest. It isn't easy. In this moment I am consciously choosing to move forward with a smile on my face and hope in my heart. Despite the current state of affairs in this Country...in this World. Where humanity is suffering. Where there is more division and hate than I have seen in my 50 years here. I see it. I feel it. But I must not let it destroy me.

I have spent many weeks recently reflecting on where I've been. And much time pondering where my path is headed during the precious time that's left. Reaching into the depths of my soul, accepting who I am and where my life has taken me. My identity is in flux. My body hurts more. My finances are unstable. But I am alive. I have a wonderful husband and the most loving dogs. I have a beautiful home in a safe place. I have a loving family (even if they are far away). I have a job. And I continue to have the ability to pursue my passions. I am grateful.

While some may consider 50 to be young these days, it's still a turning point. It's the end of a youthful era and the start of something different. Not good or bad. Just different. And a time to be more conscious, more aware of my actions and my interactions. Time to decide how I can make more of a positive difference with the time I have left.

My mother began to lose her memory in her early 60s and is now in late stage dementia in her early 70s. My father fell off a horse in his early 40s, spent 13 years in a coma and then died from sepsis. I feel fortunate to still have my overall health, to be walking and talking. To be witnessing the beauty in this World that can feel so dark at times.

50 years gone. Maybe 50 years remain? I plan to make the next 50 count. I plan to walk forward with light, truth, authenticity, and compassion. Let's make this World a better place together.

Much Love, my friends.

True healing begins when you realize you are not powerless.

Energy medicine teaches that you can influence your vitality, shift patterns, and open to greater clarity — because energy is always moving, always transformable.

The key is awareness: when you notice, you can choose. When you choose, you reclaim your power.

✨ Reflection: Where in my life do I sense energy waiting to move?

I danced under the Northern Lights and my soul felt the joy of life.

Melanie is now offering Intuitive Soul Body Healing sessions at Skyhaven! Your body is a sacred home for your soul as you experience this incredible life, full of wonder, joy, grief, sadness and many other emotions & challenges. Your spiritual, emotional and energetic health directly impact your physical body. Sometimes a gentle approach is most helpful to release pain and trauma from the body, while supporting the healing process. The Soul Body Healing session begins with a plática; a heart-to-heart talk and intention setting for your healing journey. Melanie will then listen to your spirit body & help restore balance on the energetic & physical levels, using a custom mix of massage techniques, energy work, cupping, acupressure, craniosacral, spiritual cleansing and more. The session is 90 minutes and is customized for each client, during each visit. The modalities used will be determined at the time of the session. The entire session may be done fully clothed, unless cupping or massage techniques are incorporated.

During her years as a massage therapist and energy healing practitioner, Melanie has strengthened her ability to physically feel and move energy throughout the body. During energy healing sessions, she helps release blocks where she can feel the stagnation, and calm overactive energy centers to ultimately restore balance and accelerate the body’s natural ability to heal. These sessions are very relaxing and calming for the nervous system. Often clients report the feeling of being in an altered, deeply relaxed state where they feel expanded, have visions, see colors, receive messages, experience flying, unearth the source of deeply rooted pain or have other valuable insights. After the session, clients often experience relief of physical pain, improved mood and a feeling of “lightness” and more clarity as they move forward on their path. No two sessions are ever the same. There are no expectations. The energy will move and heal as it needs to.

Melanie has always been highly empathic, sensitive, and telepathic throughout her life. She feels the energy and emotions of those around her. As an adult, she went on a quest to learn as much as she could about the World of spiritual and energy healing through many teachers and books. Most notably, Melanie studied Maya Healing tradition and practices with her Teachers and Elders Kimberly Hart, Selma Sroka, Maestra Rita Navarette and Master Curandero Laurencio Lopez Nuñez. She was honored to be initiated into the lineage of Curanderismo healing tradition. Melanie also became certified as a Reiki Master, learned from other Shamanic teachers, and studied hands-on energy healing and intuitive development with Echo Bodine.

In addition to the Soul Body Healing, Melanie is also available for the following services at Skyhaven: CranioSacral Therapy, H.A.R.T. Method Maya Abdominal Therapy, Reiki, Fire Cupping and Limpia Spiritual Cleansing Rituals, as practiced in the ancient Maya Tradition.

After October 2024, Melanie will no longer be available for Deep Tissue or Custom Massage Sessions.

If you would like to continue sessions with Melanie beyond October, please consider trying one of the services she is offering. Otherwise, please schedule your 60, 75, 90 or 120 Minute Custom Massages with Skyhaven’s other experienced, talented massage therapists Freya or Mari.
