Do you feel held back or stuck in life because of unhealed past trauma?

Hello beautiful soul, I’m Melanie Hope.

And, that, used to be me! I was stuck in self-sabotaging patterns caused by trauma, easily triggered by daily stressors, constantly overwhelmed & exhausted by life, and physically, mentally, & emotionally unhealthy because of negative coping mechanisms, self-neglect, & unhealed trauma symptoms. But now, I’m finally … healed, whole, & free from trauma’s damaging effects!

Prioritizing my health by taking responsibility for my healing & trusting God to bring His super power to my natural efforts resulted in the supernatural transformation of my soul that finally freed me from trauma’s damaging effects & propelled me into the divine destiny of my future!

Because of this gentle & loving Faith-Based Holistic Healing approach, I’m no longer a shell of the woman God made me to be!

Just as my trauma had come in layers, so did my healing. Each one built upon the other until the final layers of addressing the nervous system’s role in trauma and recovery, and inviting Jesus into every aspect of my healing, became the dots that connected all the others, creating the faith-based holistic healing approach that blends somatic, cognitive, and spiritual practices that I used and am sharing with you.

Using that approach and partnering with the supernatural healing power of God, I was able to heal my childhood PTSD from SA, reprogram core trauma wounds and process grief, 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 also learned how to support my body, soul, and spirit in healthy ways and resource my nervous system to handle the inescapable daily stressors of being a stay-at-home with young kids. I learned how to identify and communicate needs and emotions to better facilitate healthy connections, how to manage emotions and integrate pain in a way that felt safe and manageable, and how to be present in my body and find true safety within myself and my environment.

Above all, I learned how much inherent value 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 biblical femininity where I found my peace and purpose. Since breaking free from the chains of trauma’s effects on my body, soul, and spirit, I’m a better woman and mother who is thriving instead of simply surviving, fully trusting in God’s plan & His perfect timing in all things!

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!

After twelve years of personal healing and education, I’m here to share with you the resources and techniques I’ve learned to help regulate your nervous system, release stored trauma, and rewire your brain while practicing embodied faith to 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 and incorporates the Polyvagal Theory, principles of neuroplasticity, somatic processing, and biblical truth to heal your body and soul out from the life-limiting aftermath of trauma.

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. 

My mission is to guide you in creating the life you want, by helping you deepen your faith and surrender to God’s will, while working with your nervous system to be healed, whole, and free from the effects of trauma.

My heart is to see you emerge from the dark seasons of life just as a butterfly does from its chrysalis—beautifully transformed!

“When the caterpillar surrenders, it doesn’t fear what comes next, but trusts the One who designed its transformation. Now’s the time to release what you were, and rise into the woman  God created you to be.”

I have dedicated my life to helping women like you be healed, whole, and free from the damaging effects of trauma, to experience God’s life-changing presence and supernatural healing power, and to know your inherent value and worth according to His Word so you can live out your divine destiny.
