You're an instrument of God
I wanted to share something with you that occurred this past week. Our bible study on Wednesday was on John 5:1-14 ... about the invalid at the healing pool where Jesus asked him if he wanted to be healed. Then told the man to pick up his mat and walk.
I'm discovering that the more I am receptive to Jesus' healing the more I see the hand of God working. I can't call out to Jesus for help if I'm not receptive to His healing powers and God's will. The beauty of God's power is the tools (people) He chooses and the time and place of healing. So, Melody, thank you for your willingness to be an instrument of God. You are a blessing to me.
I have been sharing with my husband. He sees the changes in me and he is responsive to them. He very much accepted "the button pushing" process that will happen when buttons get pushed. I bought him a drinking cup that reads "I'm sorry I pushed your buttons, I was looking for mute!"
This past week has been one the most precious weeks of our marriage/life. 2024 GS-TN

Profound sessions
My Brainspotting sessions with Melody, have been profound. I have been able to process my strong emotions and memories, which has also helped me face current stressors with greater calm. While the emotional release was intense, especially at the beginning, each session took place in a safe, supportive and comforting environment. I feel Melody is an excellent therapist and highly recommend her. 2024 TK

Calmness after fear
After my husband had been diagnosed with cancer, and another cancer spot was found in a different place, I didn’t realize how I was internalizing my fear of losing him. Melody worked with my eyes and body, (Brainspotting and Bodyspotting techniques), and I just began to release my emotions and calmness came over me. I felt such peace afterwards. I'm grateful for this type of treatment. 2024 BcS-CA

My own testimonial
My own experiences with Brainspotting have been amazing. I slept 50% deeper after my first training, and then after my second one where I processed a lot of my childhood trauma, I have slept like the dead. I’m not hypervigilant all through the night like I used to be, and I can actually wake up now feeling refreshed and energetic. That has not happened for over 60 years, and it’s likely because I never got to the deep sleep stage. It’s been a wonderful change. Melody

Real relief
When I went to Melody, a present issue came up that I thought I had dealt with years prior through talk therapy. With the Brainspotting technique, I quickly moved through the stages of emotion and finally had real relief and freedom in my present situation. CS-CA

Made Peace with Dad
Melody coached me in regards to my feelings when my Dad tried to commit suicide. She helped me acknowledge and work through my present feelings about our strained relationship that I have had with him through the years, how it was affecting me now, and to deal with my feelings of tension, anxiety, sadness, fearfulness, and rejection from him. She listened well and helped me find ways to feel more comfortable when I have present contact with him. Melody helped me tremendously to process my own thoughts and feelings, and I am forever grateful, because now I at at peace, knowing it is ok to feel the way I do. 2025 CM-CA

Tools and hope!
My sessions with Melody have helped, providing tools and hope. She helped me recognize where I was, key to moving forward. She won’t let you stay stuck! She is dedicated to guiding you out of the trauma response, creating a safe space to confront and overcome it. Her care and skill are undeniable!” 2024-5 RV-Taiwan
