It’s time for another Facilitator Spotlight - Meet Melinda!
Melinda is a Reiki Practitioner, Meditation Teacher, and Yoga-Barre Instructor. She leads meditation, reiki, and breath work groups at various treatment centers, and is passionate about providing those in recovery with tools that support long-term sobriety from addiction. After Melinda personally experienced what she felt like was missing from her background with traditional therapy, she started sharing reiki, meditation and sound healing through international events, local classes and community events, such as Reiki Sound Baths. She has served as President of a Non-Profit Organization and strives to serve others in ways that fosters health, happiness, grounded-ness, humanity and connection.
When reflecting upon the work we do, Melinda says, “How rewarding the feeling is to know I am part of someone’s journey to sobriety, equipping them with tools that can support them in building the quality of life they deserve, with the clarity that they are absolutely capable of creating it. There is an adage that sheds lights on how underneath addiction is a longing for connection, and it is an honor to help others develop and nurture that relationship of deep connection within themselves, to feel at home within, rooted in the foundations of self-acceptance, self-trust, forgiveness, inner peace, presence and love. I’m so grateful to AdLib for providing me with the spaces to introduce our amazing clients to holistic modalities, so they can then take these practices home to encourage long-term recovery.”
Here are a few fun facts about Melinda:
Favorite food: Sweet potatoes!
Favorite dessert: “Fin Cakes” made by my fabulous friend, Chef Doris Fin! The most amazing flavors of vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free ice cream cakes. Don’t even get me started on her holiday candy cane flavor with homemade maple syrup brittle and naturally colored by beets and spirulina.
Favorite person: God
Thank you for the amazing work you do, .melindamichael!
