About Melissa

Guiding Animals & Their Human Companions

How I Got Here

My love for animals and helping others shaped this passionate character with wild ideas. From a young age, I’ve always had a deep sense of empathy for all living beings.

Growing up, animals were a big part of my life, so it’s no surprise that my professional journey started with them as well. It was my own dog Jade who inspired me to dive into dog training. I found myself facing the challenges of having an animal companion that desperately needed guidance and wanted to communicate with me what she needed from me. This ignited a fire within me to understand the intricacies of canine behavior.

In 2007, Jade and I embarked on a journey to The National K-9 School for Dog Trainers in Columbus, Ohio. Six weeks later, we returned to New Jersey with newfound skills and a deeper bond. 

Jade crossed the rainbow bridge in 2021, but our time together was filled with remarkable achievements. She appeared in the short, Sheltered, and even made an appearance on Conan O’Brien for a Beverly Hills Chihuahua skit.

I’ve since broadened my skills beyond dog training and pet care to holistic health and wellbeing for animals and their humans. In my work through the years, I’ve discovered that the bond we share with our animals goes beyond just companionship. It’s a deeper connection, where we exist in each other’s energy field, mirroring each other, and ultimately healing each other.

Jade was my soul companion and her legacy continues to inspire my work every day. I’ve continued to gain knowledge and experience through various certifications and trainings; allowing me to offer comprehensive support not only to animals but also to the humans who love them.

Approach & Philosophy

As your dedicated and compassionate facilitator, I will be a partner in you or your pet’s healing journey. Connecting the dots and finding those a-ha moments is what truly excites me.

Every human and animal has their own unique story and experiences, which can deeply impact their energy systems. It’s fascinating to see how these stories can lead to similar issues and challenges for both humans and animals.

You can anticipate a personalized approach that combines intuitive insights, practical strategies, holistic coaching, and emotional healing, supported by energy work, plus lots of comic relief.

Healing is a deeply personal journey and can often be complex. There are no one-size-fits-all steps or quick fixes. It requires time, patience, and a willingness to explore various aspects of your life.

Our work together is always conducted in a confidential and sacred space. My work is non-denominational, and I embrace all religious faiths to assist my clients in their healing process. My goal is to assist you in finding the path that resonates with you.
