Hi, I'm Melissa.
For years, I carried grief that felt impossible to navigate. After losing my son Drew, I found myself asking the same questions so many people ask after life's hardest moments:
Who am I now?
How do I move forward?
Can I ever feel joy again?
Over the last 25 years, I've discovered that healing isn't about forgetting what happened.
It's about learning how to carry your story while creating a life that still feels meaningful, joyful, and full of possibility.
Today I help others do the same.
