Melissa A. Stone

CMT, Intuitive Healer, Certified Fitness Professional, Detox and Spa Specialist

"She has a healer's touch and a psychic's intuition." Felton client

Melissa is the founder of an idea of a full service holistic medical fitness, wellness and skin care center all served up with the spa atmosphere. She created her dream by opening the first of its kind in the Santa Cruz Mountains, in 2003. Melissa has led many classes, workshops and written many articles on the subject of energy based health care. In 2008 she produced and co-hosted a radio show on KSCO 1080AM called Radiance and Chocolate and currently is co-hosting a Sunday AM show on KZSC 88.1FM called Conciliation Sunday with Kevin Spitzer. Publishing a book about her own journey from rock bottom and back - The Key to Life is...Balance in 2008. Releasing a whole kit in Fall 2011 is Melissa's Balance Tool Kit that is a total package of information to help anyone pull out of any out of balance situation using the tools of Yoga, Pilates, guided mediation, affirmations and written exercises that change old negative beliefs and patterns. Melissa's intention is to help others find balance in their lives, using the tools of fitness, body/energy work, meditation and nutrition.

Melissa knows what it feels like to be overweight, depressed and lacking in self esteem; after suffering for years she took matters into her own hands and developed a meditation, Yoga and Pilates practice - the first step on her life long journey towards wellness. Melissa graduated from Cypress Health Institute in 2003. Where she has integrated this comprehensive education with additional training in massage, polarity and fitness into a holistic practice with her intuitive knowledge. Reshaping her own body - and her life - in the process. Her success with her own life inspired her to give back, to pass on her knowledge and help others find what she had found - total wellness.

Finding work as a intuitive healer at a local drug rehab in 2004, Melissa discovered how to help others move themselves from rock bottom and how to de-tox the mind, body and spirit from a very dark place. Discovering that the key to changing lives was to change the way energy flowed through the body. Using the Chakra system to change how the energy flows through the body and how it then re built new healthy pathways in the mind. These energy healing modalities she found will draw a person to and back on their spiritual path, whatever that looks like to them; redirecting a path towards total well being for anyone.

She has documented her journey and others in her book "The Key To Life Is...Balance" and has created a total Balance Tool Kit the at home easy daily solutions in auto and visual form.

Through her classes, workshops and the Balance Tool Kit Melissa will educate you about the Chakras system, the power of meditation and energy based health care. Giving you the tools to recognize and correct imbalances in your life finding your way back to joyful health and wellness.
