My name is Melanie Rivas, and I am a Breathwork Detox Facilitator, Reiki Practitioner, and NLP Practitioner. In my work, I also incorporate a little Feng Shui along with traditional Mesoamerican limpias and spiritual rituals—ancestral practices that are an innate part of my lineage and spiritual inheritance.

I was born with deep insight and sensitivity to the energy of others. As a child, I often felt the emotions and energetic states of the people around me. I remember always wanting to uplift others and bring them comfort. At times, I would wake up crying after vivid dreams or premonitions about loved ones, sensing events before they happened.

When I was sixteen, I experienced a powerful premonition about my cousin’s passing nearly a month before it occurred. On the night of his transition from the physical realm to the spiritual realm, I saw his spirit, a moment that profoundly impacted my life. Without a proper spiritual advisor or support at the time, I struggled to understand these experiences. I entered a period of self-sabotage and avoidance, trying to distance myself from who I truly was and creating many false identities along the way.

In 2020, everything changed. I experienced what I now call a re-awakening—because in truth, I was always awakened but had simply gone to sleep. This re-awakening was not easy. My logical mind resisted what my spirit already knew. I entered a three-year “dark night of the soul,” a deep emotional and spiritual reckoning that forced me to look honestly at my life. For the first time, I realized I was not living in alignment with my purpose or the mission God had placed in my heart.

Through healing, mentorship, spiritual study, and reclaiming my ancestral practices, I returned to the path I was meant to walk.

Today, I guide others through their own healing journeys. Through breathwork, energy work, ancestral cleansing rituals, mindset transformation, and rejuvenating their environment, I help clients release stagnant energy, quiet the constant chatter of the mind, and reconnect with their bodies and inner wisdom.
