  • What makes Wholehearted Healing Studio different from other healing practices?
    Our RAW Methodology sets us apart - Real Talk, Authentic Growth, and Lasting Wellness. We don't sugarcoat or use mystical jargon.

With Melissa's 10+ years in alternative health and 25 years in addiction treatment, our approach combines spiritual wisdom with practical, measurable results.
  • Is spiritual healing safe?
    Yes, when practiced by qualified professionals. Melissa is certified in all modalities offered and has extensive training in both alternative healing and traditional behavioral health. Our approaches are gentle, non-invasive, and designed to support your overall wellness alongside any medical treatment you're receiving.
  • What if I'm not comfortable with spiritual or religious aspects?
    Our approach is spiritual, not religious. We respect all beliefs and backgrounds. If you're uncomfortable with any aspect of our work, we'll adjust our approach to meet your needs. Many clients appreciate our practical, no-nonsense style that focuses on results rather than dogma.

    No, and we never recommend that. Our services complement traditional medical care, not replace it. We work alongside your healthcare providers to support your overall wellness. Always consult with your doctor about your health concerns and continue any prescribed treatments.
  • How do I know if spiritual healing is right for me?
    If you're feeling stuck, dealing with recurring patterns, struggling with anxiety or depression, or seeking deeper meaning in your life, spiritual healing might be helpful. The best way to know is to schedule a consultation where we can discuss your specific situation and determine if our approach aligns with your needs.
  • How long does it take to see results?
    Many clients notice shifts after their first session - feeling more relaxed, sleeping better, or having clearer perspective. Lasting transformation typically takes 3-6 months of consistent work. We're not interested in quick fixes that don't last. Our RAW Methodology focuses on sustainable change that sticks.
  • What should I expect during my first visit?
    Your first session includes a thorough consultation where we discuss your goals, challenges, and what's brought you here. We'll explain exactly what we're doing and why. No mysterious rituals or vague explanations - just clear, honest guidance about your healing journey. Sessions are conducted in a comfortable, professional environment.
  • Do I need to believe in spiritual healing for it to work?
    Not at all. Many of our most successful clients were skeptical at first. Our techniques like EFT tapping and Reiki work on your nervous system and energy field regardless of your beliefs. We focus on what you can feel and measure - reduced anxiety, better sleep, clearer thinking, and emotional balance.
  • What should I expect during a mediumship reading?
    Each reading is unique, but typically I'll connect with spirits who want to communicate with you. I'll share specific details, personality traits, and messages that validate their presence. Readings are conducted in a respectful, grounded manner. I can't guarantee who will come through, but I trust that whoever needs to connect will make themselves known.

Melissa's coaching combines practical life strategies with energy clearing and EFT techniques. Her background in behavioral health and addiction treatment brings clinical insight to the coaching process.
  • Can EFT help with anxiety and panic attacks?
    Absolutely. EFT is one of the most effective techniques for managing anxiety and panic attacks. It works by calming your nervous system in real-time and addressing the underlying emotional triggers. Many clients report significant reduction in anxiety levels after just a few sessions.
  • How quickly can I learn EFT Tapping?
    You can learn basic EFT techniques in one session and start using them immediately. However, mastering the technique and addressing deeper issues typically takes several sessions with a qualified practitioner. We teach you the skills so you can use them independently between sessions.

It's been shown to reduce cortisol levels, calm the nervous system, and help process stuck emotions. It's particularly effective for anxiety, cravings, triggers, and limiting beliefs.
  • What is mediumship and how do your readings work?
    Mediumship is the ability to communicate with spirits of those who have passed on. During a mediumship reading, I connect with your loved ones in spirit to bring through messages, validation, and healing. I approach mediumship with respect and authenticity - no theatrics or cold reading tricks, just genuine spiritual communication to help bring comfort and closure.
  • How do I prepare for a mediumship reading?
    Come with an open heart and mind. You don't need to prepare anything specific, but it helps to think about loved ones you'd like to hear from. During the reading, I'll ask you to validate information as it comes through. Remember, this is a healing experience designed to bring comfort and connection.
  • What kind of information comes through in an Akashic Records reading?
    Akashic Records readings often reveal soul patterns, karmic lessons, gifts and talents you're meant to develop, and guidance about your life purpose. The information is always practical and focused on helping you grow and heal in this lifetime. I present this information in a grounded, no-nonsense way that you can actually use.
  • What are the Akashic Records and how can they help me?
    The Akashic Records are described as an energetic library containing the soul's journey across lifetimes. During an Akashic Records reading, I access information about your soul's patterns, lessons, and purpose to help you understand current life challenges and opportunities. This work helps explain why certain patterns keep showing up and how to work with them.
  • What's the difference between intuitive readings and mediumship?
    Intuitive readings focus on guidance for your current life situation using my psychic abilities, while mediumship specifically connects with spirits of the deceased. Intuitive readings might include insights about relationships, career, life purpose, or challenges you're facing. I may use tarot cards, energy reading, or pure intuitive guidance depending on what's needed.
  • What can I ask about during an intuitive reading?
    You can ask about any area of your life - relationships, career decisions, personal growth, spiritual development, or specific challenges you're facing. I provide honest, practical guidance without sugarcoating. My goal is to help you gain clarity and make empowered decisions, not to predict a fixed future.

The key is finding approaches that work for your lifestyle and personality.
  • Do you teach meditation and mindfulness practices?
    Yes, I offer meditation instruction and mindfulness training as part of my services. My approach to meditation is practical and accessible - no need to sit in perfect silence for hours.

Whether you're a complete beginner or have experience, I'll meet you where you are and give you tools that actually work in real life.
  • How do you integrate traditional addiction treatment with spiritual healing?
    Melissa's 25 years in addiction treatment provides the clinical foundation, while spiritual healing addresses the deeper emotional and energetic aspects of recovery. This combination helps with cravings, underlying trauma, spiritual emptiness, and building a meaningful life in recovery. We work alongside your existing treatment team, not in place of it.
  • Can I combine different services, like EFT with Reiki?
    Yes, combining modalities often creates more comprehensive healing. Many clients benefit from EFT for emotional processing combined with Reiki for energy balancing, or coaching for goal achievement with spiritual mentoring for deeper purpose work. We customize your treatment plan based on your specific needs.
