Melissa Ohana
Holistic Wellness Taster- Owner and Facilitator
Hi, I'm Mel, your host and practitioner on offer for your personal development.
I am of course interested in mind, body, and spirit when it comes to looking after yourself.
​
I’m an advocate for breaking free and reconnecting with the self through self-discovery and self-care. We spend so much time operating under layers of conditioning, relational wounding, and life’s inevitable upheavals that we forget who we truly are.
But when you create the space to dive deep into yourself—when you’re willing to be vulnerable—you can uncover the truth that’s been buried beneath the surface.
I offer a range of holistic programs to support you as you begin to unearth your truth.
With my intuition as my guide, I work with the Akashic Records and other tools to help you on your journey back home to your true self. I am also on my way to becoming a HeartHealing practitioner to facilitate deep and lasting shifts out of operating from a wounded place.
​
I believe that wholeness is achieved over time by working with a variety of healing modalities to bring balance to the mind, body, and spirit.
​
That’s why I facilitate events and experiences that allow you to engage in powerful self-care practices, learn from experts in the holistic health sector, and explore the tools you need to step into your own empowerment.
