I went on Melissa's second ever Mount Shasta Women's Retreat and enjoyed my time learning breath work for meditation. I have had trouble focusing and I find that I align with Melissa's style for meditation. I was finally able to get into a deeper state of focus and clarity. She created a safe space which allowed us to get to know each other and build community but also allowed us to learn things about ourselves. Thanks Melissa for a wonderful experience. read more

See all

I cannot express how life changing Melissa's work has been for me and my journey. From the little limpias and meditation to the crown chakra workshop...just wow! She is also very knowledgeable and explained very well the different chakras. The moment you walk in, you get a calming and peaceful presence. If you're looking to elevate yourself and connect with yourself, she is the best one to coach you through it. I will definitely be coming back for a more personal one on one a reading. I can't wait! read more

I recently hired Melissa to help create a beautiful healing day for my birthday, shared with 12 wonderful women. As a recent breast cancer survivor, this celebration held deep meaning for me--and Melissa made it truly unforgettable. Every detail was perfect. From the soothing sound bath to the heartfelt cacao ceremony, and the thoughtful crystal rollers gifted to my guests, it was all magical. Everyone, including myself, felt so loved and uplifted. I'm beyond grateful--thank you a million times over! I can't recommend her enough read more

I first met Melissa during her 11:11 Sound Bath session. I have done sound baths before, but Melissa provided a beautiful experience that felt inviting and peaceful. The sound bath was at a shop with plants all around, helping create a peaceful-lively atmosphere. During the sound bath, I felt her send vibrations to an area I know I need help with. Right then, I knew she was on it and truly had a gift. After the sound bath, I immediately asked for a card reading. It was a different experience from other readings that I have but it was beautiful and safe. Melissa dove deep into some areas of my life I need to work on, she provided so much care and healing energy. She is gifted, patient and kind. Afterwards she sent me an email that really outlined topics we discussed and how I can help myself through them. I definitely recommend working with Melissa! read more

Melissa provided such a grounded and safe place for release and activation. The messages came through clear and resonated and continue to resonate. I initially could not complete the workshop exercises but following the activation I was able to and I also had the best rest of my life, deep dreams and woke up feeling awesome, clear, and strong! Amazing work and a priceless gift. I deeply appreciate her holding space for this transformation and so grateful for her gifts. read more

Just amazing. I went to Melissa's studio in Los Altos and right away I knew I was in a safe space. I did the angelic reiki session as a loved one had just passed away and it has been so heavy on me. So I asked Melissa if we can tap into my spirit guides. And omg, after the session I felt so much at PEACE. I'm writing this review 5 days after the session and I am still on a high with life again. Please remember that you get what you give. You have to be open minded, let yourself release and feel. You'll know exactly what I'm talking about when you feel it. Thank you so much Melissa. You've helped me get the answers I was searching for. read more

Calm space, beautiful experience. Looking forward to another session and the zen that follows

On May 29th, I reached out to Melissa to schedule my first sound bath session. She was very accommodating with time & scheduled my friend & I for June 13th. She informed me of the variety of services she offered along with pricing & recommended what materials to bring (yoga mat, pillow & blanket) & to dress comfortably (leggings, sweats, etc.). The day of my appointment, Melissa sent a friendly reminder of my time slot along with the address of her office. Unfortunately, I did not have a yoga mat, but she was kind enough to offer her own. My friend's niece asked to join the session a few hours beforehand & Melissa was kind enough to include her. I must emphasize how accommodating Melissa was--first with scheduling, then with materials & lastly with a sudden drop-in. We arrived to her office at 7PM, where Melissa greeted us at the door with a friendly smile. The smell of sage filled the room. My words won't do justice in describing how calming, relaxing & welcoming the atmosphere was. Candles were lit, stones & crystals were displayed & there was an array of rainbow singing bowls beautifully laid out. Melissa offered eye masks to prevent us from opening our eyes, so that we could be fully engulfed in the session (such a great idea). She asked for our names & gave us the option to explain why we felt like we needed to be here. She gave a thorough outline of the session, explained what the singing bowls & tuning forks were for & explained each chakra in detail. When the session began, I felt at ease doing breath work which was then followed by listening to the singing bowls. I felt a lot of tension when I arrived because I didn't know what to expect. After all, this was my first sound bath & meditation class. Melissa was guiding us through the sound waves & tuning forks. Tuning forks--what a mesmerizing experience. The vibrations put me at ease. It's always been hard for me to tune out distraction, but the sounds resonated with me & I focused on myself thus reaching a meditative state. Once the sound bath session ended, Melissa offered an oracle reading. I was drawn to the "Spirit Animals Oracle Deck" where I was met by the turkey, the dove & the armadillo. I was immediately drawn by the dove because my cousin's birthday was the following day & he had been heavy on my mind. I had to stop her from going forward because it was a lot for me to handle, but I thought it resonated with me so well. It was honestly a beautiful testament. This experience was an excellent way to meditate & add to my self-care. I left feeling at peace, refreshed & relaxed. I can't recommend Melissa enough & I commend her for being so dedicated & passionate to her craft. She even went so much as to check up on me afterwards & ask how I was doing. I really do appreciate the little things. Thank you so much Melissa. I can't wait to book another session with you. read more

I had the pleasure of doing the chakra workshops with Melissa and it was a wonderful experience. I was able to not only find a way to relax while she did the sound bath but I learned how to tap into each chakra and found beautiful meaning behind every color or sign that I was able to see. Melissa is wonderful and you can feel how much she loves providing this for everyone. I would highly recommend her and everything she does read more

Working with Melissa was wonderful. I went in feeling very stressed from my day and after experiencing a session with her of sound healing I felt so relaxed and back in my body. It was the first time I experienced sound healing and I cannot recommend her enough. I look forward to a reiki session and more sound healing sessions from her. Thank you Melissa ! It was wonderful to meet you read more

I was fortunate enough to meet Melissa at a local pop-up and knew I wanted to see her individually afterwards. I was able to see her for angelic reiki just before the new year and it was the perfect way to enter 2024. Her space is very calming and quiet. Melissa really takes her time to explain everything that happens in your session and makes you feel super comfortable and at ease. There are a lot of different feelings that could come up and she does an amazing job at listening and helping process. The one session with her helped me better understand myself and encouraged me to feel ready to step into my power. I'm so grateful for our time together and looking forward to seeing her again in the future! read more

I have had the privilege to attend two Alchemy Divination Sound Healing Workshops with Melissa. Melissa's presence is Angelic, Pure, Welcoming, and Completely non Judgmental. She prepares a beautiful Angelic safe cleansed space that you automatically see and feel at ease. She explains step by step what she will be doing and what to expect in such a peaceful manner. The real ease I received while attending both of her Sound Healing Workshops have helped me work through trauma I had been holding onto for almost 29 years. I Highly recommend her and if I could give her 100 stars here I would. read more

I was introduced to Melissa through a Westcore event where we she introduced me to her work. I was able to get a mini reiki session; although it was brief she was able to unlock some trauma i was holding onto in my hips. I recently was able to do an actual session with her and while it was hard for me to allow myself to stay in the uncomfortable feelings i've been suppressing i also felt like a weight lifted off my chest. Melissa really created such a safe place for me to feel connected to myself with no shame or ego. I am so grateful to have crossed paths with her and i look forward to what's to come working with her. read more

Melissa is absolutely amazing and I feel so blessed to have connected with her through her workshop at Westcore Studio.

Thank you Melissa for carrying yourself and your practice with such grace, strength and beauty. I can't wait to be a part of more workshops in the future! read more

I had a session with Melissa on 11/12. It was my first time receiving reiki so I didn't know what to expect, but I felt taken care of during my session and sensed relief in my heart. Melissa's sound bath was the most beautiful I've ever experienced. She cleanses each chakra with a total of 7 frequencies. I couldn't hold my tears in at the beginning, grief washed over me. As she guided us up towards the crown chakra, I fell into a trance. After the sound bath I felt lighter and less clouded by my mourning. And since then, $$$ has been flowing in! I'm excited for my next session. read more

I met Melissa at work where she was actually my patient. I didnt know anything of her background as it was our 1st time meeting eachother. We definitely had a spiritual connection from the beginning.. we shared some words with eachother and immediately I had goosebumps. When she came back we discussed our interaction and she began telling me about the services she offers.. I went to see her for a reiki session and it was amazing! If your thinking about going to see her you definitely should she is very welcoming and comforting! Thank you Melissa! read more

I went to Melissa's workshop on 11/11, and it was the most peace I had felt in years. I been struggling with a heavy heart for awhile and I feel after this I felt a sense of relief. Melissa was so welcoming and you could tell she truly has a passion for what she's doing. Even down to the decorations, the tea, the pastries. It was all just well organized and planned. Melissa has a calming effect through her personality and voice. I felt relaxed listening to her speak. I will definitely be attending more workshops in the future. Thank you Melissa. read more

I've had a total of 3 sessions with Melissa. Each time has been a great experience and I always feel lighter afterwards. My first two were at local pop-up events and the third was at her office. Each location was very nice and comfortable with a private room. For each session she explained the process, checked in with how I was feeling and if I'd like to focus on anything specific. Once the session was over she'd check in and we'd go over any messages we received during the session followed by aftercare instructions. Every session the messages and symbolism was very clear and strong. A few weeks after each session she's followed up with me to see how I was doing. Which is wonderful cause it shows how much care she puts into her clients and our wellbeing. Love her! Would definitely recommend her and book another session. read more

I am so glad that I found Melissa. I was looking for someone close to home that I could feel at home with. To learn from and also receive a beautiful healing. I went to one workshop and the moment I walked in, I knew I would be back. Melissa is so sweet, organized, loving, her energy is powerful and she has so much wisdom to share. I really appreciated that she opened her space to a new person making it feel like I had always been a part of her workshops. I felt the energy happening right away, I felt the shifts happening and the next day I felt a lot lighter. I felt more at peace to what we discussed. I loved that she went around to each person and took the time to hold space for them individually to discuss what came up. I really recommend Melissa and her services. read more

I was introduced to Melissa by a mutual friend for a sound bath. It was my first time and let me tell you I had an amazing experience!! The studio was very clean and had a nice cozy feeling to it, a perfect atmosphere. During the sound bath I felt very relaxed, calmed and at peace. I enjoyed the sound bath so much that I decided to do oracle card add on which I did not regret. I also had an amazing night sleep that same night. Melissa is a gem and I highly recommend her services. read more

My niece introduced me to Melissa and I had my first Reiki Therapy with her recently. Her studio in Vallejo has a very tranquil feel to it. As this was my very first experience with Reiki, I didn't know what to expect and when Melissa instructed me to be open and not judge what I was experiencing, I did just that. I felt very light during the session, so light that I did not feel the table underneath my body. Along with the Reiki session, Melissa pulled a card for me. I watched her shuffle the deck and the card that she picked for me was so accurate. With Melissa's guidance and clarity, I proceeded to do what the reading suggested. Best reading ever and so on point! Thank you Melissa! read more

My experience with Meli was absolutely magical. I was in a very dark place when I contacted her for a reiki session. She made me feel very comfortable and the whole session was very powerful to me, I experienced something like never before. I was able to attain the clarity I needed instantly after deciphering our session. read more

I first met Melissa at a pop-up near my house and something told me I should try it out. I ended up doing a sound bath with her and immediately felt the positive vibes from the experience. I had such a great experience I told my mom and aunt about it and we booked appointments for private reiki and a group sound bath with her at her studio. I have to say that the experience was extremely deep and eye-opening. I have never had such an accurate response to the intention I made for my reiki experience. I have to say that Melissa is the real deal. I have felt nothing short of posivity and authenticy from her. I will definitely continue to recommend her to people in my life and will continue to see her for spritual guidance. read more
