Story is Medicine

Spirit Work is an opportunity to listen to stories from the unseen world, integrating the wisdom of the ancestors into our own lives. Tarot reading, altar building, ancestral connection, chats with spirit helpers, spiritual care, and spiritual mentorship are some of the ways Melissa utilizes story to help individuals find more meaning in their day-to-day lives and move through life with as much authenticity as possible.

Storytelling is a powerful tool for social change. It invites readers to expand their own minds, to step into new worlds, and to develop compassion and empathy for people whose lives look different than their own. It helps us gain greater insight into and care for our personal human stories. Melissa’s poetry and essays are meant as medicine for the healing of intergenerational trauma.

She teaches in social justice, religious, and higher education settings about the importance of community care to our overall well-being.
