Melissa Ellen Penn, MA, SD

Healer and Cosmic Cheerleader

Melissa began her career in management at eighteen years of age. Since then her demonstrated leadership brings tolerance to the workplace, leadership to her team, and confidence in the successful outcomes of projects placed under her responsibility.

She has found that if the inner spiritual and emotional body are not cleansed, healed, and balanced, whatever leadership training she imparts will not hold. So she has always worked with people in their corporate offices and at her healing office - to integrate change and total transformation and promote optimum success.

Because she wishes people to work at their highest capacity with their utmost joy, she extended her knowledge into the field of spiritual teachings and healing modalities.

Melissa has worked as a wellness evangelist and healer for over years. She attended the Platonic Herbal Academy and received a license from the State of California (for the one year that they gave them out.) She is a Level Two Bach Flower Therapist.

Melissa is a Reiki Master in the Usui Tradition. She also uses her geology background to understand and use crystals in therapeutic settings, particularly in the treatment of migraines using Arum Manus techniques. She also employs the BioMat® during these sessions.

A lover of pyramids, Melissa has found that many people benefit from the use of them during treatment. She incorporates the use of Shambhala Vajras, Etheric Weavers under the pyramid, in addition to faden crystals.

Melissa graduated from the Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality with MA's in Deep Ecumenism (the commonality of world religions) and Deep Psychology (the art of spiritual direction) and minored in Art-As-Meditation. She then received certification from The Institute of Spiritual Direction as a Spiritual Director.

Melissa completed the Jewish Healing Program of Chochmat HaLev and is an ongoing student of the Kabbalah.

Studying under Vickie Nobel, Melissa is an expert in Tarot and Divination - and uses this mystical art as a basis for her client work.

Melissa is also a certified horse healer and masseuse, and served her internship with Cavalia - an offshoot of Cirque de Solei. Melissa soon discoverd - as with people, horses heal better when their riders are treated in conjunction with them. Go to www.hoofinhand.com for further details.

Melissa found that her work with horses and the non-predatory nature of the herd has translated well into the world of human and she now incorporates her 'horse sense' in her leadership trainings and personal coaching.
