Dr. Melanie Joy

I grew up constantly fighting a symptom. I had severe food allergies, a heart condition, chronic fatigue, you name it. As I grew older, I desperately wanted to heal– and I dove deep into the world of natural and holistic medicine. 

I fine tuned my diet, took all of the best supplements, did thorough labs– and while all of that has supported me greatly, there was still something lingering beneath the surface, and it would not be quiet. 

Through connecting with the sensations in my body in a safe and guided way– I reconnected with emotional wounds and traumas that hadn’t been given the space to move. They became lodged in my energetic body and were manifesting as physical symptoms. 

When I finally gave those emotions and feelings the space to be seen, expressed, and to breathe– my nervous system recalibrated. I started to feel more empowered in regulating my emotions. And I truly felt like I could begin to move in the world more embodied. More connected to my truth. And in my fullest expression. 

I utilize Somatic Experiencing with a Masters degree in Complementary and Alternative Medicine & Nutrition. I absolutely love this work. And I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. 

No matter the weight you’ve been carrying. No matter how many modalities you’ve tried. No matter how un-fixable you may feel at times. 

You are not broken, your nervous system has  been injured. And there is a way back home to yourself.
