Holistic Human Being

Isn't life full of surprises? 😆

I was full of excited anticipation for 2024 on new year's eve 🥳 everything was going my way and I felt it in my bones that this would be a great year 💪

Come new year's day, my dad's in hospital. I still felt so full and high on life that I felt mainly gratitude for the doctors on duty that day, and the makeshift ward created so he could be kept under observation instead of being sent home.

Life still felt generous and kind for a few days after, but then came another, and yet another blow, not dad this time, but my cat 😺 and another beloved human. At one point, I crashed, hard 😅

I allowed myself to go through them all, those emotions that arose within me. From empowering rage 😡 to the grief of loss 😭 As I let the emotions pass through me, feeling them deeply, after three days the proverbial sun ☀️ came after the rain.

In surrender to what IS, without resistance 🙏 In self-compassion for my experience 🫂 In the trust that everything is always working out for me, even when it's hard to see 🤩 In the remembrance of all my many blessings, right here, right now 💫✨🌟 In allowing Source light to fill me and shine through me once again 🌻🌞

In trusting my divine human experience to unfold in accordance with Divine Will and Grace 👑 Trusting Nature's design and Life's process 👌

So, because it's never too late for good wishes, in 2024 I wish for us all to remember who we really are 🌟 to fulfil our potential, passion and purpose through self-awareness, self-love and self-care 😍 and thus enhance the human experience of being alive, together 🫂

And have faith that 2024 will be a great year ✨ All we gotta do is love and to let ourselves be loved 😘

This Winter Solstice, what seeds of promise are you sowing in the dark soil of the longest night, Melanie?

Me: Well, this Lodolite Garden Smokey Quartz (on a light! 😍) insisted on coming home with me 😆 and The Moon Song (Olivia Fern) is spinning in my head 💫...

"And she sang 'Child, be unafraid to shine. Be bold and bright, reflecting the light'."

Yes! I do have big ideas for this particular cycle around the sun ☀️ I can already see it coming! 😁 I'm so excited! 🤩

How about you, what dreams may come? ✨🌟💫

Do you take care of your energetic environment? Around the new moon 🌚 I feel a need to clean and clear both my outer environment and my inner landscape 🥰

After clearing my home from clutter, and cleansing with sage, sound and salt water wash, I chose this spot with earth 🌱 sea 🌊 sun ☀️ sky 🌈 and open space to connect with the elements, as I do a chord clearing and cutting meditation 🧘 (I like the one by on YT).

This ritual brings me back into a neutral state of wholeness. It protects me from energy leaks, neediness and even old stories! 🙈 So that I'm squeaky clean and clear to create new connections and experiences from a whole, neutral, soft and open state. It makes me feel NEW, bright and shiny. 💫✨🌟

Do you do any rituals like this? I'd love to hear about them 💕

IT ISN'T NORMAL TO FEEL STRESSED! Stress could be hurting you and your life and you don't even know it.

When stress becomes our 'set point' and goes untreated, it's like running away from a predator forever without ever stopping to digest food, rest and heal the body. 😳

Yet, the stress keeps you going, often until it's a little too late already. You get sick as the organs are depleted of vital energy. You develop digestive or autoimmune disorders. You lack concentration, forget, find it hard to make decisions and make wrong turns. You are emotional and your relationships are suffering. Finally, you get exhausted and depressed. 😢

Even if you buy into the "modern life is stressful" belief, you don't have to BE stressed. There's no predator out to get you and regulating your nervous system back to 'CALM' works better in handling modern stressors. Plus life feels (a lot) better too! 😁

In as little as 3 minutes, you CAN transform your state. Understand stress and learn hacks to be stress free, so you can have healthy organs, a healthy mind, and add a little love and laughter to your life 🥰

I'm really looking forward to sharing some of the most powerful SELF REGULATION TECHNIQUES I've learned in over 20 years as a holistic therapist. I'd like to invite you to join me on Monday 15th May for this workshop HOW TO BE STRESS FREE that I'm super excited to host, because I know you could transform your whole life with what you learn in these two hours about self-care around stress. 😇 Let's all live life as a celebration with peace, joy and ease!

15 November 2021: Is life always working out for you? 🤔

I didn't always believe it was for me. Certainly not during my darkest times of walking among my shadows, wondering if they would ever stop torturing me and messing with my life 🦇

They surrendered their grip when I made an effort to get acquainted, accept them, thank them for their message. Through awareness, gratitude, love and trust in life's unfolding, that Trauma transmuted into greater Personal Power.

Shadow Work was ultimately a key to accessing my 'Superpower' when the Inner Alchemy was done 🌟⭐✨💫

I took the path of energy healing and intentionally raising my vibration. I meditated, sought angelic lightwork, worked with crystals, accessed Theta healing and Reiki, and somehow the lower energetic imprints from my childhood trauma, ancestral lines and even past lives were transmuted to ♥️ LOVE

I had called this account The Hero's Journey because I held the belief that life was all about turning life's s**t into fertiliser to grow.

That is true for a time, but experiencing s**t does not have to last forever. Expansion is the nature of the soul and so is Truth, Consciousness and Bliss.

And when the darkest adventure is done, life IS about fluttering among flowers, drinking nectar while playing in flight 🦋

But we can't fly unless we dive deep and LET GO. The crawling caterpillar must spend time in darkness and transformation before getting wings to fly. And the butterfly never regrets pausing and going within to release its previous identity and discover its present experience of self.

When we deeply experience polarities, we build bridges and find our place in the middle, at the top where is the best view! There we are whole, balanced and aware, the dual self is aligned with the one Source, and we gain true sovereignty over our own vibration and field of experience.☀️

There, we can FOCUS on good feeling thoughts, PLAY the life of most fun, milk the GRATITUDE, while joyfully UPLIFTING others as we TRUST life in the receptive mode that ALLOWS its gifts to FLOW in. Life IS a PRESENT, right NOW🌻

We have more POWER than we realise: when we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. 🥰

24 September 2021: It's much harder to strip my soul naked than to take all my clothes off my body. To really be seen. And first of all to see myself.

For weeks I have been powering through a disturbing situation, supressing the strong emotions it had brought up.

It has been a process, of course, and my luminous warrior spirit has served me.

It enabled me to grow in spiritual strength through meditation, self-enquiry and energy work, so now I'm better able to cope with the deep grief in my heart.

And as I allow my heart to melt and let tears flow, as I surrender more deeply into my humanity, feel the pain, allow it to be and breathe it through, I find a surprising power in vulnerability.

Soft and powerful, there is so much love in my heart that I'm amazed it's even possible: for myself with tender compassion, and also for those who co-created this story. Because context vs content, who I've evolved into through turning this 's**t' into fertilizer is worthy of gratitude and celebration.

This full moon is about letting go. What can be a greater way to let go of attachment and desire of an outcome than to offer them in sacrifice to Spirit? As I allow the rawness of my heart to emerge, I surrender my will to Divine Will and all is sanctified.

After all that elevation, it's a relief to step down from my own Divinity and be a mere human... after all, isn't that why we chose to be here, as Embodied Spirit having a human experience?

As polarities meet - the divine masculine and feminine, Divinity and humanity, light and shadow - I'm building bridges and unifying them as One, finding harmony and balance.

Where are you now? What do you need to let go of to open up authentically to all facets of your being and invite the wholeness of Life in, unrestrained and unbounded?

I just want to thank you. You, who are taking steps towards your holistic wellbeing. You, who entrusts me to support your healing process. You, who fill me up with gratitude for the opportunity to offer my gifts. You who fulfill my life's service.

Yesterday I was moved to tears by the immense gratitude expressed by one of you. She blessed my hands, and touched my heart to an extreme degree. I feel blessed all over.

My work is not just about massage. It's about healing. And healing must happen on all levels, not just skin deep. I am graced with a lifelong interest in holistic therapy that has given me so many tools to apply to target the specific needs of every individual: Oil massage, Thai massage, Reflexology, Ayurveda, Acupressure, Energy Medicine, Breathwork, Guided meditation, Yoga Nidra... and all of these I incorporate into a customised 'Oriental' treatment that not only rejuvenates your body but calms the mind and rebalances your energy field. Stress is dissolved on all levels.

And when I see that sweet new face dressed with calm eyes and a gentle smile, when you tell me that you have not felt this good in years, when you tell me that you will come again and tell your family and friends to visit me, I feel that my service to humanity is this and that I am infinitely blessed that my work is my life's purpose.

So thank you.

So so pleased to be taking bookings again! Thermometer, sanitiser and mask at the ready ... but most of all my hands and my heart! Thank you for trusting me to soothe your physical and mental stresses, safely

Feeling very happy with the newly refurbished massage therapy room, a dedicated professional healing space within a private residence

Had a special time at Consciousness Festival last weekend! Thanks Tümer Gençtürk for the lovely photos

This week I got a 50 euro tip on a massage costing 60 euro. I found it hard to accept, feeling it was too much. "Please keep it!" he said, "We need to make sure you keep doing what you're doing. I haven't felt this good in years!" Those words were an even greater reward than the 50 euro tip, although it was much appreciated, obviously!

I love what I do and feel blessed to be able to offer the gift of pain relief, relaxation and self-healing through body work/massage.

So I'd like to ask you, if you have tried my massage and like what I do, if you feel like you would recommend me to your friends, please do and please leave a review, it would help me keep doing what I do!

Thank you and many blessings

I feel so grateful for what I do

There is something really special about that moment when a client gets off the massage mat with a new face: the face of relaxation and self love. What a gift to be able to massage people back to peace and happiness.

Exciting things on the horizon! Water Therapies will be in Malta soon! Feel the peaceful relaxation and wonderful healing of this multidimensional weightlessness and flow! Currently concluding phase two of my training in Koh Phangan, Thailand. Can't wait to share this amazing medium with you all
