Melodie's a seasoned author and editor; analyst, program manager, and content developer. Her interests are eclectic and her writings reflect that. She is as comfortable with high tech as she is spirituality, angels, crystals, hypnosis, energy healing, gardening, herbology, rural living, and backyard chickens. 

 

She worked in the environmental field for several years and then technology transfer as a staff writer for an award-winning newsletter. Her biggest take away from the journalistic environment was that the editing begins with which stories are covered and which ones are not. The second biggest was that you can't believe the marketing people because they usually haven't checked with the engineers! ;) 

​

Melodie had been exposed to IT in the late 70s and early 80s when the field was still full of mainframes, card punch, and procedural programming --- she ran away screaming! She re-entered IT in the late 90s, which by then was full of desktops and programming (now software development) had progressed to object orientation.   

​

Melodie holds a cyber security certification in GIAC Law of Data Security & Investigations (GLEG), a Doctorate of Divinity (DDiv) and ordination from the Esoteric Theological Seminary, and a BS in Biology (ecology concentration) with a minor in chemistry from Old Dominion University. She also attended graduate classes at George Mason University for a time. 

 

Melodie actively guides a Facebook group of roughly 5,000 like-minded souls on spirituality and spiritual ascension discussions. She holds several hypnotherapy and hypnotist certifications (state registered as a psychotherapist / hypnotherapist) since 2002 ) as well as several energy healing master teacher certifications (Reiki, Karuna Healing (karuna reiki), Integrated Energy Therapy (a form of cellular healing), and activation for Reconnection healing. She's been a guide and facilitator in one form or another for most of her life and has often described herself as "walking between worlds."
