Throughout her life, Melanie’s compassionate nature has led her to take on roles where caring for people and helping them through challenging circumstances has been prevalent.

Counselling and assisting in times of stress and trauma has become second nature to her. Over the years she has furthered her knowledge and studies in different fields obtaining certificates in psychotherapy and alternative therapies including hypnotherapy, massage, reflexology and acupressure. Melanie has cared for both of her parents and members of her community through their dying and death. This has given her personal and practical knowledge of what the journey and the gift of dying, entails.
