" In my own life I have traversed challenges such as divorce, shyness, bankruptcy, cancer, anxiety, a severe concussion, PTSD, and depression... I have struggled with feeling lost, living decades in "survival" mode. Yet, I stayed afloat with tenacity, faith, and gratitude for everyday gifts. These experiences have led me to a greater spiritual awareness and sense of empowerment. Life is about relationships- to oneself, others, the animal/plant kingdoms, and our earth. As I evolve, I connect to life with deeper understanding, compassion, and positive regard." Melissa 

Melissa Masters, Ph.D., ATR

I am a professional artist, art therapist/holistic life coach, interfaith minister, angelic reiki master, and lightworker!

 

As a registered art therapist, I also hold a graduate degree in holistic life counseling, and several certificates in expressive arts therapy including person-centered expressive arts. It brings me great joy to share wisdom from my own life experiences, coupled  with the extraordinary power of using the art process to tap into one's inner resources. My passion for working with youth/teens and adults, privately and in groups is a humbling experience as we all learn and continue to grow in deep exploration together.

Creative Holistic Life Coaching/Art Therapy 

 

Private Sessions

In my private sessions with individuals I may offer art experiences that allow you to gain deeper insight into your inquiries and challenging issues. Examples can include- journaling, movement, drawing, or collage, with no artistic skills being necessary to reveal new, and often hidden subconscious discoveries. I specialize in helping specifically with teens and women with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and major life transitions. I prefer to use the word “coach” as it feels less triggering to people. Who would not want a coach to help them feel empowered, courageous, and confident in making optimal choices for their lives?

I am also a certified Angelic Reiki master and offer this adjunct service as well. Angelic Reiki is a pure, high frequency energy healing transmitted directly from the angelic realm. This powerful healing assists the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies of clients; and is administered either lying on a massage table or sitting in a chair. It is relaxing and there is little to no actual touch to the body when given. An intuitive message is often presented to the client that I receive during the session.

Contact me for a free consultation to see if I am a good fit for supporting you on your life journey!

My Creativity

IMG-2176.jpg

As an artist...

I love to write poetry, personal essays, and motivational articles related to conscious living.

Earlier paintings focused on landscape. Presently, my work is more abstract, yet continues to be inspired by the elements of nature. Contact me for availability and pricing for art/giclee prints, or mural work.

My singing/songwriting tends to have a Celtic influence with uplifting lyrics that are of New Thought. I am available for local performances.
