This gentle & loving approach gives you the freedom to safely process painful traumatic memories & grief in the comfort of your own space at your own pace!

Are you ready to take your healing journey to the next level & find freedom from your past trauma?

Hello beautiful soul, I’m Melanie Hope.

I remember that point in my healing journey ... where despite finding relief from present-day stressors through nervous system regulation and reprogramming core trauma wounds through brain rewiring work, I still had unprocessed traumatic memories and grief standing in the way of my transformation and freedom from the past. I’m so excited to share this life-changing phase of the faith-based holistic trauma healing approach that helped me transform into the healed, whole, & free woman God created me to be!

Pressing into my healing by trusting God to bring His super to my natural efforts resulted in the supernatural transformation of my soul that finally freed me from the painful traumatic memories of my past & propelled me into the divine destiny of my future!

Before I began finding relief from the physical, mental, and emotional symptoms of CPTSD from childhood SA, betrayal trauma, and emotional abuse from toxic relationships in adulthood, I spent many years attempting to heal from my trauma through widely common paths like therapy and counseling … but it never produced tangible or lasting results that I could see and feel in my daily life. You can read more about that part of my journey here.

After nearly a decade, tragedy struck in my life and sent me to my rock bottom, where Jesus met me in my darkness and slowly began to connect all the dots that led me to the faith-based holistic approach to healing that I teach. The first step was addressing my body through somatic practices to help regain a sense of safety in the present moment and release stored trauma energy.

In the beginning phase of my holistic healing journey, I learned about the damaging impacts that trauma had on my brain and the importance of nervous system regulation and brain rewiring for healing. I also began spotting and replacing my self-sabotaging habits that had developed as a trauma response, understanding my triggers, and developing self-attunement for better emotional processing and regulation.

The first stage of healing also centered around developing my faith and relationship with Jesus, and ultimately, it became the healing foundation for the second phase of my healing journey … the transformation!

Once I had found a sense of safety and peace in the present and was better able to manage everyday stress by turning to faith-based holistic resources to regulate my nervous system, release stored trauma, and rewire my brain, I was ready to press further into my healing. If that doesn’t sound like you yet, I encourage you to check out the Healing Blueprint, which is the first phase of the faith-based holistic healing journey I teach.

In the second phase of my healing, I turned toward my traumatic memories and unprocessed grief to find relief and freedom from my past, but it was only possible because of the foundation of safety that I established in the first phase through faith and intimacy with Jesus, along with committed and consistent nervous system rewiring and regulation work.

Most of my noticeable and lasting shifts happened in the transformation phase of my healing journey. I was able to safely process layers of grief, along with painful traumatic memories. Of course, I will never forget that trauma, but the memories have been neutralized, so I am able to think and talk about it without experiencing extreme fear or pain.

Nothing will ever remove the reality of sadness attached to trauma, and that’s okay because sadness is part of the human experience and it’s perfectly okay to honor it whenever it comes up, but there is incredible freedom in processing traumatic memories and stripping them of their power to torment you and skew the way you view yourself, others, and the world!

During the transformation phase of healing, I continued the nervous system rewiring and regulation work I began in the first phase, adding the faith-based practices of memory and grief processing. I also began to look at myself, my life, my habits, my boundaries, and my goals and began living more intentionally and consciously.

Because the faith-based holistic approach I took to heal my layers of trauma and transform my soul, I’m no longer a shell of the woman God made me to be!

Partnering with God’s supernatural healing power, I was able to heal my childhood PTSD from SA, reprogram core trauma wounds, process grief & traumatic memories, heal adult PTSD from betrayal trauma and domestic abuse, get free from anxiety and depression, break self-sabotaging trauma response patterns, relieve tension and frequent migraines, and heal persistent gut issues.

I learned how to support my body, soul, and spirit in healthy ways. I learned how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries with myself and others. I learned how to identify and communicate needs to better facilitate healthy connections. I learned how to slow down and be truly present and to consciously live with intention. I learned how to be set attainable goals and implement healthy habits and routines.

Above all, I learned how much inherent value & purpose I possess and how much I am loved by the One who made me, and in turn, I learned how to love myself for the first time in my life.

Healing my deepest soul wounds helped me step away from the wounded masculine energy I’d been operating in for so much of my life and begin stepping into my true divine feminine nature. Since breaking free from the chains of trauma’s effects on my body, soul, and spirit, I am a better woman and mother.

It was the grace & love of God that led me to the knowledge & understanding that helped me to be healed, whole, & free from the trauma that had impacted my body, soul, and spirit for most of my life—the same grace & love that has led you here!

You are truly loved by God and partnering with His supernatural healing power is the key to freeing you from the impacts of your unhealed and unprocessed trauma. 

After twelve years of personal healing and education, I’m here to share with you the resources and techniques I’ve learned to help you process traumatic memories and grief, regulate your nervous system, release stored trauma, rewire your brain, and practice embodied faith, so you can experience healing, wholeness, and freedom from the effects of your trauma.

My unique perspective on health and wellness is built upon faith in the supernatural healing power of God, incorporating Polyvagal Theory, principles of neuroplasticity, somatic processing, and bible-based spirituality to heal your body and soul out from the life-limiting aftermath of trauma.

My mission is to guide you in creating the life you want, by helping you understand how to work with your nervous system to be healed, whole, and free from the effects of trauma and my heart is to see you emerge from the dark seasons of life just as a butterfly does from its chrysalis—beautifully transformed!

“God has a plan for the butterfly far beyond anything the caterpillar could ever imagine. Dare to believe the same is true for the healed version of you, that there’s a life on the other side of your transformation that will exceed your wildest dreams. Because God has a plan for the woman far beyond anything the little girl could ever imagine.”

 FAQs

  • This course is Biblically based. The faith aspect of “faith-based holistic healing” is based on faith in the God of the Bible and His son Jesus Christ. I do not consider the Bible to be a religion, even though there is a religion derived from it. The Bible is a historical book and a personal letter from the Creator of the earth to anyone willing to open their heart and mind to hear from Him.

    I would consider this course Christian, if based on the true meaning, derived from the Greek word Christianos which translates to “little anointed one.” I believe anyone who puts their faith in Jesus and surrenders to His will is anointed by His Spirit.

    However, the Christian label carries with it much negativity today because of its attachment to organized religion, not to mention, many refer to themselves as little anointed ones while being far from the truth. While I was raised as a Christian and still very much hold the same basic beliefs, I admittedly struggle with the label.

    I disagree with many things Christianity has done throughout history in the name of Jesus and believe organized religion to be a man-made concept, which Jesus himself was against. Many Christian churches have presented a false gospel, misrepresenting Jesus and what He truly stands for. As a result, using the Christian label can turn people away and close their ears to learning the truth about their Savior, which is the last thing I want to do.

    If you are a Christian, I hope you can appreciate and understand my stance. I don’t believe you’ll find anything that conflicts with your beliefs in this course. If anything, you may discover a deeper understanding of things often left out in church.

    I believe the Bible is the Word of God the Father, and that Jesus is the Word made flesh who dwelt among us and died an innocent death for the sins of mankind to set us free from the oppression of our spiritual enemy and to save us from the coming wrath at the end of the age, gifting us life everlasting with Him when He returns. I also believe He has sent a helper in the Holy Spirit to guide and lead us into knowledge and understanding of Him.

    I am simply a believer and follower of Jesus, and regardless of labels, anyone who would say the same, or is at least curious and open to learning about Him, will find this a welcoming and safe space. If you’re opposed to hearing the Bible’s truth and learning about how much you’re loved by Jesus, then this likely isn’t the right course for you.  

  • Ultimately, no, because I believe this course has the anointing to speak to unbelievers as well. However, you need to at least be open to learning about Jesus. This is a faith-based holistic healing course, meaning it is centered around belief and faith in the God of the Bible. It isn’t about religion, it’s about relationship. Jesus desires to connect with you and has already paid the price for your healing. This course will teach you how to receive that healing power by grace through faith in Him.

  • If you put in the work, then I believe it absolutely will, but it isn’t a quick fix. True and lasting changes come from consistent committed work.

    Releasing stored trauma and rewiring the brain helps bring the body back into homeostasis, the balanced state where it’s able to repair at a cellular level, fight infection, heal the gut, and balance hormones.

    Healing your nervous system helps regulate your emotions and broadens your capacity to handle everyday stressors. Nervous system re-patterning happens incrementally and requires a gentle focused approach.

    If you’re committed to showing up daily and putting into practice the techniques this course teaches to regulate your nervous system, release stored trauma, and rewire your brain, for both the 8 weeks and beyond to maintain your healing (the same that you would maintain physical health), I’m confident you can find freedom from things like PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain just as I and many others have!

  • Your body will give you noticeable signs of progress that you’ll be able to track. We’ll talk about this in the course and you’ll have materials in the resource guide to help track your progress!

  • This will be different for everyone since the time it takes to learn and implement rewiring practices is based on your schedule and commitment. Many people experience immediate signs of trauma release when they begin implementing somatic practices, but the long and lasting results will develop over time. 

    Research shows that changing the brain requires focused, consistent practice for at least six months, but based on your trauma history, your lifestyle, and your time investment, that timeline can vary. It’s often encouraged to commit to at least one year to ensure the changes truly take root.

    The VICTORIOUS program is divided into three phases (Healing Blueprint, Transformation Blueprint, & Destiny Blueprint), each containing 8 weekly rhythms (6 months’ worth) of faith-based holistic healing work that implements somatic, cognitive, and spiritual practices.

    After eight weeks of regular and consistent work in the first phase, you’ll have experienced noticeable physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral shifts—all of which are outlined within the course where we address tracking your progress.

    In this second phase, the Transformation Blueprint, you’ll rely upon the foundation of safety built in the Healing Blueprint (or equivalent nervous system healing work you’ve done on your own) to begin inner healing, memory reprocessing, and grief work, along with identifying your core needs and building stronger boundaries.

    Most of your tangible results and noticeable shifts will likely occur in this second phase.

    By the third phase, Destiny Blueprint, you will have scaled much of your healing mountain and be nearing the peak of victory. That’s where you’ll look ahead to the future you want to build and to the divine destiny you’ve been called to, learning and implementing tools to maintain your healing and live out your destiny!

  • This is a self-paced, pre-recorded course, broken down into modules with video lessons and supporting PDF guides. At this price, there is no live element to the course, but questions are welcomed via email.

    How long the course takes to fully complete is based on your level of commitment and personal schedule, but it’s designed to give you 8 full weeks of faith-based holistic healing rhythms containing body, soul, & spiritual practices, preceded by educational videos broken into an average of 15 minute lessons.

    Modules 1-4 make up the educational portion of the course, consisting of roughly four hours of video lessons, Module Five contains the 8 weekly healing rhythms that you will follow & encouragement videos to keep you on track, and Module Six houses the DSF Healing Practice Library containing the guided video/audio for the body, soul, & spiritual healing practices you’ll be implementing.

  • While the Transformation Blueprint is the second of three courses that make up VICTORIOUS, DSF’s signature faith-based holistic trauma healing and transformation program, each course in the program can stand alone based on the level of holistic healing knowledge, experience, and stage of healing you’ve already achieved.

    The Healing Blueprint, Transformation Blueprint, and Destiny Blueprint are designed to complement and build upon each other to deepen your knowledge and faith in Jesus while expanding your holistic healing and transformation tools.

    The Healing Blueprint provides the foundational elements needed to heal your deepest soul wounds and become the woman you were created to be by regulating your nervous system, releasing stored trauma, and rewiring your brain while practicing embodied faith.

    Transformation Blueprint relies upon the Healing Blueprint’s foundation of safety and provides you with the integral elements needed for deeper inner healing through memory and grief processing, focusing on more in-depth body, soul, and spirit practices.

    Destiny Blueprint puts the finishing touches on your healing and transformation journey, helping you embody the woman you were created to be by integrating your new mindsets into all aspects of life and helping you to look through your new spiritual eyes to discover your divine destiny.

    If you have experienced childhood trauma or other bid “T” traumas, I strongly encourage at least going through both the Healing Blueprint and the Transformation Blueprint to experience true freedom from the effects of trauma, but highly recommend the complete program!

  • If you’re looking for licensed, certified, or diploma-bearing, I’m not your woman. My qualifications are tried and true personal experience—years of trying various approaches until I finally found the one that worked!

    I read many books, took several courses, and talked to therapists and counselors trying to find answers about how to heal from my childhood sexual abuse and adult traumas like emotional and verbal abuse and betrayal trauma.

    I learned something from all those experiences, but never enough to bring about complete healing, wholeness, or freedom; until I fully surrendered everything to God and allowed Him to lead me. Jesus is my ultimate qualification. His anointing brought this course to life, and it’ll be His power that heals you, makes you whole, and sets you free! I’m just a willing vessel.  

  • Not only did this faith-based holistic approach to trauma healing completely change my life, but I know with every fiber of my being I’m meant to share it with as many beautiful souls as possible. Far too many are held back from their full potential because of unhealed trauma, and for that reason, I priced this course for accessibility as opposed to value.

    More expensive courses and programs likely contain more personal guidance or live coaching from licensed/certified individuals and therefore are offered at a price point that reflects that level of service/education.

    I’ve made this course as concise as possible, giving you the most powerful, impactful Biblical truth and holistic healing practices to most efficiently and effectively build a safe foundation for your healing and transformation journey and begin to regulate your nervous system, release stored trauma, and rewire your brain.

    My heart is to see as many people healed, whole, free, and stronger in their faith as possible, and realistically speaking, I knew that the price point would be a major factor in making it highly accessible. I never want the price to be the reason that someone can’t receive information I know would help change their life in a profound way.

    In the future, I plan on setting up a sponsorship program where those who can pay more can opt to cover the cost for individuals who don’t have the means to afford the course/program. I was advised to price the course for its value, and if my ultimate goal was to make money I would have, but I knew that would eliminate many people in need from getting the help it can offer, and since my main goal is helping people get healed, whole, and free, I chose to price this course for accessibility instead.  

    The value of this course far exceeds the price it’s being sold for, not only because of the results it offers, but because of the personal hours/days/months/years that went into its making. God truly connected the dots from countless sources and experiences to combine the knowledge and wisdom it contains.

    The Healing Blueprint is the first of three courses that make up VICTORIOUS, DSF’s signature faith-based holistic trauma healing & transformation program. The price for the Healing Blueprint will stay at a lower introductory rate until the other two courses, Transformation Blueprint and Destiny Blueprint, are completed and VICTORIOUS can be launched and sold as a full program—but even then, the prices will continue to reflect my heart and mission of accessibility.

  • Due to the digital nature of this course, no refunds are permitted.

  • This course teaches information that I’m sure would be beneficial to men as well, but I encourage men to seek instruction from other men.

    While my heart is to see all healed, whole, and free, my calling is to help women. God willing, I will one day be able to partner with a man who has the same heart and calling, allowing DSF to offer a program specifically for men, but for the time being, all courses offered are designed especially for women.
