If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from your own needs -you’re in the right place.

I’m Mel, a Registered Nurse, Reiki Master, meditation guide, and the heart behind Holistic Sojourn.

Through my years in healthcare, I have learned how deeply the body holds our stories. My foundation in nursing has given me a profound understanding of the human body, trauma, caregiving, and resilience. Over the years, I felt called to expand beyond conventional healthcare into a more holistic, soul-centered approach, one that honors our emotional well-being and the sacred inner life we each carry. I work with people who feel stretched thin, called to mindfulness and healing, and ready to come home to themselves-through reflective practices like journaling, meditation, and Reiki.

As a nurse, a mother, and a caregiver, I understand the toll it takes when we give endlessly. My mission is to help you turn your care inward, quiet your self-criticism, and honor your emotions. I want you to know that self-love is not indulgent; it is essential. It is the foundation from which compassion, clarity, and connection grow. 

My work weaves together mindfulness, Reiki, meditation, journaling, and soulful introspection designed to support healing, self-love, and presence, wherever you are on your journey. My offerings are created to gently guide you within, helping you find stillness and presence so you can hear the inner wisdom that has always been there.

You don’t need to be fixed. You need to be held, witnessed, and reminded of who you already are. That's why I’m here.
