“Melanie’s Journeying course was a transformative experience for me on a number of levels. The material was shared in a way that was accessible and easily digestible, and I appreciated learning about the lineages and how to honour them in a good way. Through Melanie’s guidance, I learned to trust my intuition more and how to interpret the information I was receiving during my journeys. This has had a profound impact on my work, both for my own self care and for the work I do with my clients. I built lasting friendships with the other participants in the course and am so grateful for the community that was built. I would highly recommend this to anyone who’s considering diving into this work, whether you’re brand new or looking to deepen an existing learning journey.”
