My Story
In my 53 years I feel like I have lived multiple lives. I'm currently on life #4 my best life yet since I was born in July 1970. I'm happily married to my soulmate Jay who loves me and supports me to follow my life passion and interest. We blended a family of seven teenagers 14 years ago and through all the ups and downs I learned the beauty and healing ability of love. Today our seven children who are in their 20s and 30s now are all amazing people living their best lives. My husband says it’s his greatest accomplishment and I would have to agree. That was life #4. I could seriously write a book or at least a miniseries about the last 14 years. I have loved it all!
I was born with a gift of being able to connect easily to non- physical (Angels, guides, people who have passed on etc.) but I didn't always feel like I could talk about my gifts. Mostly I didn't even realize how much I was being guided because I grew up in a Mormon community going to church, where I learned to not discuss any of my gifts. I don't hold any malice toward my Mormon upbringing, but I left the church completely when my stepson told the family he was gay. I care deeply for him and his strength to live his truth. I feel that any religious organization that doesn't accept somebody, who is gay and allow them to find love isn’t a good fit for me. I then started to see the Mormon church from a different perspective and realized there were some other things I didn't agree with.
Life #1 would of course be my childhood. I found myself by the age of seven with a very low self-esteem, feeling that I was dumb. I struggled with any book learning including English and math. Most people are good at one or the other, but I wasn't especially good at either. I had to go to Special Ed classes to keep up in school. Fast forward to my teen years and I was in a relationship with a boy at 16 who was very mean and emotionally abusive to me, reminding me that I wasn't that smart. I was also raised to believe that, for as long as I can remember, what I looked like wasn't important so that led me to believe I was ugly! I was taught that being “kind” was the most important value to have. I’m grateful for my mother raising me this way, don’t get me wrong but somewhere I decided this must mean I wasn’t attractive. This really did a number on my self-esteem, and I was certain I was the ugliest girl in school or at least not somebody, that anyone would find attractive. Not to mention, we were poor. These ideas, I had formed, would have a significant effect on my self-esteem for years to come.
Life #2. I was 19 years old sneaking into a nightclub with a fake ID. This night was the beginning of my non-physical guides, angels, guardian angels, or however you want to name them, beginning to try and protect me from myself and my low self-esteem. I heard a voice so clear in the back of my head say, “don't go”, But I was young and reasoned with the voice that I would be careful. It didn't matter how careful I was, I still met the man who'd be my first husband and three of my children's father. This choice would make the next eight years some of the most difficult and sad times of my life. Because of my low self-worth I thought a man who wasn't the same age (14 years older), same race (African American) Or same religion (not Mormon but said he would convert for me and never did) was the only man that would really love me. I convinced myself I was in love so I wouldn't be alone and I got married. I had a miscarriage at 21. I was 22 when I had my first daughter, 24 when I had my son and 26 when I had my second daughter. During this time my husband got at least two other women pregnant, that I didn't know about at the time. Had me help him raise some of his many children while the whole time was involved in multiple different illegal schemes and deals. After having my third baby I started to fear for mine and my children's lives. I planned to leave with my babies and return home to live with my parents. The ending of that relationship was so frightening and heartbreaking but the four of us survived. I'm forever grateful to my parents for allowing me to return home with my children to TRY AND HEAL. Those times were very sad. Watching my two and four-year-old children wait at the window on their birthday because their dad said he would be there and then not show up was horrible. He walked away from our children without a blink of an eye. For all the lies he told me I thought his affection he showed our children was real, but I was wrong. Years later, realizing we were all being protected by him walking away.
Life #3. TRY AND HEAL didn’t really happen. I heard that if you don't learn your lesson, it will just keep getting harder until you learn it or die. I was on this path. Husband number two enters the scene. I was talked into going to a Christmas party by some family friends because I had become a recluse with my three babies. Certain I wouldn't marry again or even date until my youngest was eighteen had been my plan. Who would want a single mother with no degree so why try to meet anyone. Against my instincts, AGAIN, I went to the Christmas party and that's where I met a friend who'd introduce me to husband #2. It all seems so innocent. He was handsome just two years older than me and the same race as my children. He only had one daughter, that I knew of. He liked me and told me I was pretty. This surprised me and made me feel special. I hadn't received many compliments before him from men or when I was growing up. We dated for a year, he liked my children and they liked him. I need to add a footnote to that last sentence. My oldest daughter who was five didn't really like him. To be honest I knew she was right. I wanted so desperately to believe I didn't need to be a single mother and that I had found love. The week before my wedding I was 29 years old, and I couldn't hold down food. I kept hearing that voice in the back of my head saying, “Don’t Do It!” But I wasn't strong enough to walk away. What I didn't know was that walking away would have been a million times easier than the next nine years that I'd be married. Within the first month his personality changed drastically becoming emotionally abusive to me and my kids. These nine years were by far the saddest and most difficult time of my life. I felt suicidal at times and my children suffered greatly. During this time, I also felt compelled to give up a baby, that I had, for adoption because of the medical condition she was born with and the home life I had that couldn't support her. During this pregnancy, not only did I find out that the baby I was carrying would be born with extreme special needs, Dandy Walker Malformation Diagnosis, but I also caught my husband cheating right after his brother molested me in my sleep while I was eight months pregnant. During this extreme low point in my life, I had a vision that showed me ahead in time a scene to protect me as well as hearing my grandmother who had passed away years earlier constantly speaking to me to “just hang on”. I could hear her very clearly as she promised me, I would be happy, and my children would be happy to “just hang on”. My ability to hear her speaking to me I believe saved my life. I was at such a low point. I found the strength to pull myself out of depression by hearing one of my ancestor angels, my grandmother, guide me with a plan to make enough money to move and hide with my children. Four days after hiding from him, he committed suicide. I can tell you with certainty because of my ability to hear people who have passed on, that once you die, you become pure positive energy radiating love and blessings even in suicide. His voice spoke to me for a solid week guiding me to bank accounts where he had hidden money, informing me how to get his Social Security benefit for my children and multiple other financial miracles that were greatly needed. The whole time I could hear him saying “I’m so sorry, I'll fix it”. I could hear him so clearly. By this time, I had managed to land a medical sales job making good money that allowed me to get the house and hide but while I was doing financially better than ever my three children ages 12, 14 and 16 were falling apart in every way. I didn't know what to do. The suicide had taken a horrible toll on them. At this time, I decided to really tap into my gifts and BE GUIDED! I needed help. Real help. I had learned that if I was going to do something and it made me feel sick or scared to run away from that idea. If my plans or thoughts made me feel joy and happiness to go in that direction. All while listening to that voice that said “yes! do it” or “no! don't do it.”
Three months after the suicide I met Jay, my current husband. I will never be able to describe the connection I felt with him instantly. He proposed and we were married in 87 days. My children felt so safe around him that they happily moved out of state and changed schools to start a new life. It was a divine meeting. He allowed us a safe place in the world to FINALLY HEAL, and that healing didn't happen overnight, but it did happen. I took the first five years of our marriage off work from the corporate sales world (I thought it was my dream job) because my Angels had guided me to get this job that required a bachelor's degree when I only had a few college credits. A true miracle in my eyes, but it was now time to resign from this career. I was beyond blessed to be in love, REAL LOVE and get to focus on blending our new family with seven children from ages 9 to 18. When my youngest graduated high school I went back to corporate medical sales until two years ago. Two years ago, I left corporate America with the support of my husband to pursue my dream life.
Today I am using my gifts and talents, full time, to assist others to find their joy, overcome life struggles but most importantly teach that true transformation is possible.

Fertility Issues Solved
After 8 months of trying to conceive, I was feeling a bit hopeless and I knew I needed to try something else. That’s when I decided to give Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) a try. I had heard that it could be used towards fertility and I figured it couldn’t hurt.
I was lucky enough to find Melody and she really made the whole process feel comfortable and relaxing. She was also so encouraging and uplifting which kept me positive during the entire process. She even recommended a book for me to read, which was a great help.
Thanks to Melody, my husband and I were finally able to conceive in February! We were so excited and the first person we told was Melody. She was so happy for us and it was such an amazing moment.
I would highly recommend working with Melody if you’re dealing with fertility issues. She has a real gift and her process really helped me stay positive throughout the entire process. Mental health is an important part of fertility and RTT was a great way for me to gain a better mindset and open my heart to the possibility of having a baby.
I’m so grateful to Melody for helping me get to this point and I can’t wait to finally meet our little one!
