ABOUT MELISSA

Hi, I’m Melissa.
Nice to meet you.

Nurse. Reiki Practitioner. Nervous-system nerd. Human.

I’m Melissa — a Registered Practical Nurse, Reiki Practitioner and the founder of The Intuitive Nurse.

For more than a decade, I’ve worked in healthcare caring for people through illness, change, vulnerability and some of the hardest seasons of their lives.

Along the way, I became increasingly curious about the things that don’t always fit neatly into a chart — why we can understand what we should do and still feel unable to do it; why capable people can feel completely overwhelmed; and what actually helps us feel more connected to ourselves.

That curiosity eventually led me to explore beyond traditional healthcare, into Reiki, nervous-system regulation, embodiment, somatic practices and intuition.

I didn’t leave science behind.
I just realized it wasn’t the whole conversation.

Turns out, I was never very good at staying in one box. ♡
