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!
