About Melissa
​"25 Years in Addiction Treatment + 10 Years in Alternative Healing = Real Results, No Sugarcoating"
Melissa Bishop isn't your typical spiritual healer. With a Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Health and an MBA from Wilmington University, plus 25 years in the addiction treatment industry, she brings a unique blend of clinical expertise and spiritual wisdom to her practice. After overcoming her own struggles with addiction, depression, and eating disorders, Melissa discovered that real healing requires more than just managing symptoms - it requires transforming the patterns that keep us stuck. That's why she created the RAW Methodology: Real Talk, Authentic Growth, and Lasting Wellness. No mystical BS, no temporary fixes - just honest, practical healing that creates lasting change.
​
​Melissa's Journey ​
Melissa's path to healing wasn't typical. Her 25-year career in drug and alcohol treatment gave her front-row seats to what real transformation looks like - and what doesn't work. She watched countless people struggle with the same patterns, over and over. Her own recovery journey from addiction, depression, and eating disorders taught her that sustainable wellness requires both clinical understanding and spiritual tools. That's why she spent over a decade mastering alternative healing modalities while maintaining her grounding in behavioral health. In 2016, she co-founded Finding Avalon, a metaphysical store in Camden, Delaware. In 2021, she launched Mindful Spirit Connection. And in April 2024, she opened Wholehearted Healing Studio to create a community focused on real spiritual healing and authentic connection.
