ABOUT ME

The biggest question is always 'Why'? Why do you do the work you do? I'm Melissa, owner and operator of Rose of Venus Healing.  I've been drawn to holistic medicine and alternative healing practices for as long as I can remember. I began working with intuitive healing techniques then later became a certified Reiki practitioner.  Several years later, I became pregnant with my first son and like many women, I experienced a traumatic birth.  I learned he was in a breech position a few weeks prior to my due date, which in my mind, still gave him a few weeks to reposition. Of course he'll turn, I thought, babies know how to do this, they've been doing it for centuries. However, as my date approached, he wasn't moving and my Doctor was presenting options that did not align with my "plan". I had tried several maneuvers and treatments in the hope of having success, but no such luck. An ECV was scheduled to manually attempt turning him with my Doctor stating I should also prepare myself for an emergency C-section, which is exactly what happened. The ECV caused me to go into labor with my baby in a very compromised position, putting us both at risk should he begin to descend.  Delivering him via cesarian caused several complications and set us up for a very difficult breastfeeding journey.  Several months of triple feeding and fighting many 'nursing strikes' from my little one lead me to finding Carolyn Cooper. I booked a healing session with her, and I immediately felt a sense of relief and much more calm; within a few weeks, breastfeeding improved to the point that I was able to nurse my son until 22 months, when we mutually decided to end our journey in a loving way.

I had always been fascinated by Energy Medicine, but that experience moved me from being a skeptic toward more of a believer. I began to wonder how much energy work could actually do when applied in the right ways. Over the following years, I continued to research different forms of energy medicine.  As my family expanded, I began struggling with anxiety and finally took the plunge and completed my training with the Carolyn Cooper SimplyAlign Method with the hopes of being able to help myself feel like I could thrive in motherhood and help my family. As I continued to discover the expanse of energy work, that quickly grew into a desire to share healing with others.
