About this Retreat
From a very young age, Melissa experienced many traumas which she carried unknowingly into adulthood. In brief, her father suffered from a mental illness pretty much all of his adult life. Melissa suffered years of child abuse into teenage hood, whilst also was subjected to numerous operations for corrective surgery.
Living as a single mother, raising her three children whilst working full time in supporting Corporate leaders within the Financial industry in London, Melissa saw an opportunity to further fight against the odds.
Melissa’s natural empathy, and passion for helping others has led her to a greater understanding of how life's crisis, and traumas can affect the wholeness on a physical, mental, and Spiritual level.
Melissa pursued her life's purpose as a Spiritual teacher, and has gained a wealth of experience as a transformative Pranayama breath therapist, Qigong teacher, as well a Tibetan Singing Bowl practitioner. After experiencing her own Spiritual Awakening over fifteen years’ ago; as a lightworker, having the gifts of clairsentient, a clear feeling, and an inner knowing through her psychic senses helps her explore deeper connections.
After discovering the gem of Valencia over seven years’ ago Melissa specialized in a 5 day 1:1 retreat for Mental Wellness. She created a unique, and inviting space carefully attending to every detail to propose nurturing healing for others. After five years of successful hosting, a wealth of many testimonials, Melissa decided it was time to be nearer her family. The heart wrenching decision to leave the warmth, and comfort of her off grid home in the mountains in Spain, and start her brand new venture from her Narrowboat in London.

QIGONG - Qi Gong, is the basis of all traditional Chinese healing arts, It is the very breath of life that animates every function of our body, mind, and Spirit.
Medical Qi Gong: Medical Qi Gong is created as a combination of body movements, stretching, and Qi practice that opens energy pathways, removes blockages, promotes circulation, enhances immune function, metabolism, promotes healing, and leads to longevity.
Qi Gong is a self-healing, natural, gentle, and works on the entire body. Many people feel better after practicing for a while; some even feel better in a few days. Some illnesses such as heart disease, hypertension, cholesterol problem, muscle, bone, joint, mental, emotional problems, poor immune function, hormonal problem, can all benefit from Qi Gong practice.
BREATHWORK - To strengthen, and detoxify all energy systems - Qi gives the blood energy to nourish all our cells thus Improves blood circulation.
Breath unleashes the vital energies of life. If we cannot inhale completely, psychologically we cut ourselves off from new experiences, adventure, and creativity. If we cannot exhale completely, we hold on to the past and are weighed down by old emotional hurts and wounds. When we inhale deeply and exhale fully, we clear out stagnant emotions and thoughts, and take in new possibilities with each breath.
SOUND HEALING WITH TIBETAN SINGING BOWLS - Using sacred Tibetan Singing Bowls. Sound, the ultimate healing modality of The Universe.
Everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration. For instance, from the organs in our body to the vase on your table, each thing has a natural set frequency. And that includes singing bowls. The singing bowls generate sounds of several frequencies. Thus frequencies matter so much to us because our bodies are hypersensitive to them, thanks to the fact that there is 70% water running through our bodies.
Moreover, sound waves are so powerful that they can even change our brain chemistry when under duress.
The sounds that keep playing after you've stopped are called resonance. In simple terms, resonance is nothing but "synchronized vibrations."
Resonance builds up over the span of playing and continues long after your interaction with the bowl stops.
The thing that ties up healing vibrations of sound frequencies is resonance and how our own bodies sync to this frequency.

A word from Melissa
Our modern world, life has become ever more fast-paced, and complex: in a word, stressful. Even with our advances in technology, our bodies still operate on the same rhythms and cycles as our ancestors’ bodies. Yet in the modern world, lights turn night into day, and stores make it easy to get whatever we want at any time. It’s no wonder that balance is so difficult to achieve when we push ourselves in so many unnatural ways. Our modern lifestyle leaves millions of people too depleted to get sufficient exercise, relaxation, play, or quality time with friends and families. Chronic stress, and this energy-depleting way of life lead to anxiety, fatigue, depression, a weakened immune system, and a host of serious physical and psychological ailments. In fact, any perceived stress can put a person into this fight-or-flight state. Your body isn’t just reacting—it’s overreacting constantly triggering this fight-or-flight response wears down the body, and mind.
Experience Melissa's unique approach, which emphasizes dedication, and discipline, as you embark on a journey to discover profound tranquillity within yourself.
