Iโ€™ve healed from depression & health struggles, and now I help others do the same
www.melaniegilchrist.com Mel spent 26yrs suffering from depression & 11yrs on antidepressants. She accomplished her dream of slowly weaning off antidepressants & staying well. Over the years she has healed herself from other conditions such as hormonal imbalance (low progesterone), low thyroid, adrenal fatigue, hydra

denitis suppurativa, vulvar vestibulitis & other weird stuff. She grew up with a dad who developed schizophrenia at 40, moved countries, left a long term relationship, struggled as a single mum, survived domestic violence, pregnancy termination, found out & accepted her significant hearing loss which now requires wearing hearing aids & is a busy single mum of 4 & now a Grandma. She knows she's not perfect but she is pretty damn happy with who she is and what she has accomplished and worked through and loves learning & growing. She is delighted to now be able to use the wonderful gift of reiki energy to bring about positive changes in the lives of herself & others. Sometimes her sessions are relaxing & uplifting, sometimes they are healing. Mel's hands will be guided to the place in your body that the energy is most needed.

I got my blue card yesterday, which means I can work with children.

Kinda funny cos I've been working with children since becoming a mum 24 years ago.

But of course, this means within a disability setting.

I remember desperately wanting to be a mum when I was in my terms. Infact I craved it, and couldn't wait to meet the man who would be the father to my children.

I loved my first real boyfriend, Martin. He was tall, dark & handsome with a big cheeky smile, funny & caring & treated me well.

He wanted to marry me, but at 18/19 I didn't feel ready for that. I think too, because of my Dad having developed schizophrenia & our family breaking apart, a part of me was scared & pushed him away.

Two years later, I fell in love with Ella & Sophie's dad & we moved to Australia 3 years after that.

It was another 5 years before Ella was born, as we wanted to buy land & build our house first. And then we wanted to get our landscaping done...you know how it goes๐Ÿคฃ

Sophie was born two years later, nearly to the day, and our little family was complete.

Their dad & I grew apart & separated when our girls were nearly 2 & 4.

3 years later, upon meeting a new partner, Stan was born & 19 months later, along came Zeta (to a different dad).

Things did not turn out the way I had envisioned them when I was younger & there were many bumps along the way.

But I love being a mum, and now a Nana, and I have embraced it wholeheartedly.

Being there for my own children, and the many other children I've taken under my wing over the years, who have also called me 'Mum' has given me great joy and pleasure, & continues to do so.

It is a big part of my purpose here on Earth.

Doing motherhood mostly on my own has been tough, I can't lie about that.

I've just had to be strong & get on with it, & find a way to get through whatever we were going through.

And it's brought me to where I am today...the most contented me, enjoying life more & empowering & guiding & supporting others.

So, if having this blue card enables me to do more of that & shed alittle more light, then it's great news.

I love having variety in the way that I serve others & โค๏ธall of my work.

For those who don't know, I do the following:-

- disability support work

- Reiki sessions & Reiki attunements/workshops

- Neuro Transformation Therapy breakthrough program/sessions

Sometimes we donโ€™t need to try harder - we need support to gently rewire the patterns our nervous system has been holding onto for years. NTT helps shift subconscious beliefs, emotional patterns & stress responses that may be contributing to anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, low confidence or feeling stuck. Itโ€™s a gentle, holistic approach that supports you in creating more calm, clarity, confidence & inner radiance from within.

- Radiant Woman Collective, private FB group for sensitive women โ€” particularly women struggling with depression, chronic health issues, overwhelm, or emotional heaviness, who want to move toward more radiance, joy, confidence, healing, & wellbeing through holistic support.

- intuitive angel card readings

- speak to share my story & give hope, inspiration & empowerment.

There's more. Just ask.๐Ÿ˜€

Iโ€™ve been noticing lately how many women are quietly holding so much.

Showing up for everyone else, managing everything day to day,
but underneath feeling overwhelmed, emotionally tired, or not quite themselves.

This is something I see often in my work, and itโ€™s exactly why I created the โ„๐•’๐••๐•š๐•’๐•Ÿ๐•ฅ ๐•Ž๐• ๐•ž๐•’๐•Ÿ โ„‚๐• ๐•๐•๐•–๐•”๐•ฅ๐•š๐•ง๐•– ๐Ÿ’›

Itโ€™s a space for women who are ready to be supported more deeply - not just to cope, but to actually feel calmer, more connected, & more like themselves again.

Inside the group, I run a monthly masterclass, and next weekโ€™s session is:

โœจ ๐“๐“ฎ๐“ป๐“ฟ๐“ธ๐“พ๐“ผ ๐“ข๐”‚๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ถ ๐“ก๐“ฎ๐“ผ๐“ฎ๐“ฝ: ๐“—๐“ธ๐”€ ๐“ฝ๐“ธ ๐“•๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“ต ๐“’๐“ช๐“ต๐“ถ, ๐“ข๐“ช๐“ฏ๐“ฎ, ๐“ช๐“ท๐“ญ ๐“›๐“ฒ๐“ด๐“ฎ ๐“จ๐“ธ๐“พ๐“ป๐“ผ๐“ฎ๐“ต๐“ฏ ๐“๐“ฐ๐“ช๐“ฒ๐“ท

Weโ€™ll be exploring whatโ€™s really happening in your body when you feel overwhelmed, & Iโ€™ll be guiding you through a gentle reset you can experience in real time.

If youโ€™ve been feeling:

๐Ÿฉemotionally drained
๐Ÿฉconstantly 'on edge'
๐Ÿฉdisconnected from yourself

this will be a really supportive space for you ๐Ÿ’›

Iโ€™ve been having a few quiet conversations since I last shared about my Level 2 Reiki workshop, and something I often hear is:
โ€œI feel ready to go deeper, but Iโ€™m not sure if now is the right time.โ€

If thatโ€™s you, I just want to say - that feeling of being drawn to something is there for a reason ๐Ÿ’›

Reiki Level 2 is such a beautiful step.

Itโ€™s where things begin to deepen - your connection to energy, your intuition, and the trust you have in yourself.

Itโ€™s not about being perfect or knowing everything already. Itโ€™s about being open and ready to expand.

My next Level 2 workshop is this Saturday (9 May), and I have a couple of spaces available.

If youโ€™ve been thinking about it or feeling that pull, youโ€™re very welcome to message me and we can chat about whether itโ€™s right for you ๐Ÿ’›

Well, Iโ€™m happy to say that Iโ€™m on the mend.

This morning I went back to gym with Ella. Not my usual strength, took it abit easy, but thatโ€™s ok.

Soph & my 3 little grandbabies slept over for 2 nights which was lovely.

And Stan & Zeta have been home, so Iโ€™ve enjoyed all the home time, extra rest & abit of Netflix.

As much as I donโ€™t like taking Panadol, my gum is still quite tender, so itโ€™s necessary at the mo, but Iโ€™m slowly cutting it down.

I only have one coffee a day & thatโ€™s usually first thing in the morning. I havenโ€™t had one since Wednesday & although Iโ€™m fine & could carry on without it, I do enjoy a good, strong, hot coffee so I look forward to being able to have one again soon.

Iโ€™m still eating lots of soup & have discovered some yummy g/f ones.

Coconut yoghurt, my dairy free incecreams & have added in g/f oats with mashed banana & protein powder with soy milk.

I need to eat very slowly & mindfully & I think this is a huge positive!

Today I introduced green smoothies with celery, green apple, spinach & lemon juice.

Iโ€™m starting to see & feel that having that dead, infected tooth removed from my mouth was the best thing, and beginning to wonder how it impacted my health in the past, given that itโ€™d been there since I was 20.

Back then, I had an abscess & opted for the root canal rather than an extraction.

Starting to have more energy now & feeling light & free & grateful.

Oh..bonus, Iโ€™m 2kg down too.๐Ÿ˜Š

Reiki has changed my life in ways I had no way of knowing it would.

It has helped me to heal my body from so many different conditions, including depression, shingles, bone spurs on my heels, postherpetic neuralgia, blood clots & more.

It helped me to learn to trust myself again, after years of self doubt.

It helped me to accept, embrace & utilise my natural abilities in order to make a difference in the lives of many others.

And it has helped me step more into my power & teach, which has opened up a whole new world. Once I began, many years ago now, my Soul guided the way & it all unfolded naturally.

Reiki has enabled me to be myself & to guide & support others on their spiritual journey.

As more & more women flow my way, whether to experience Reiki, or to learn it, it continuously blows my mind at the shifts it creates in the mind, body & spirit.

The ripple effect of Reiki is real & profound & I am so thrilled to see it spreading even more far & wide, especially during these times when it is needed on Earth now more than ever.

Next Saturday, 9 May, I am holding a Level 2 Reiki workshop here in Springfield.

If you've been sitting on your Level 1 for awhile, this is your sign that it's time to move forward and learn Level 2, both for your own evolvement & for others out there who need your support.

DM me for details.

I'm so grateful to be home & recovering after having a tooth extracted this morning.

An abscess developed inside my gum, next to a tooth containing a root canal from 32 years ago.

I've been waiting for this appointment, because I opted for some laughing gas for the procedure.

Golly am I glad, because that tooth was like its owner....stubborn haha.

Blessed with the most gentle, beautiful dentist, it took her about an hour to get it out & it came out in bits as it was brittle & had long roots.

She did an amazing job, and although I felt pressure, I didn't feel any pain.

What a surreal experience. It was kinda like the 4 caesareans I've experienced, except that there was no baby at the end.

I was awake & aware, but maybe slightly outta my body at times.

And I'm grateful for my darling Mum who was there to support me & drive me home.

Enjoying a day of rest & Netflix, & a day or two without food won't hurt me.

So happy to be out the other side of it all.

Phew. โค๏ธ

After doing the angel card readings last night, I was reminded again how many women are starting to reconnect with their intuition & energy.

And for some, there comes a point where you feel ready to go deeper.

Not just receiving guidance, but learning to trust yourself, your energy, & your inner knowing more fully.

Thatโ€™s exactly what Reiki Level 2 opens up.

๐Ÿ’› Iโ€™ll be running my next Level 2 Reiki workshop on 9 May

This is for you if youโ€™ve already completed Level 1 & feel ready to:

๐Ÿ’— deepen your connection to energy
๐Ÿ’— strengthen your intuition
๐Ÿ’— work more confidently with yourself & others
๐Ÿ’— step further into your own growth & self-trust

Itโ€™s always such a beautiful & expansive experience to witness ๐Ÿ’›

Remember when you were little, and you simply knew you could create magic?

If there was something you wanted to happen, you would imagine it happening and then it would.

You didn't slip into fear, worrying about how things would be if it didn't happen.

You imagined it and then detached, carried on with your life & voila, next minute there you were, just as you'd imagined.

I used to do this with folk/bush dancing when I was young because I was so shy & didn't want to dance with boys. So I'd imagine that the record player broke down, and so it often did.

Softball wasn't my favourite activity either at school, so I'd imagine the clouds growing dark and rain falling. And it often did.

As we grow older, life happens & conditioning begins to limit us.

We forget that we are powerful creators.

Once we allow ourselves to be who we came here to be & continue to embody that higher version of ourselves, we once again create magic more & more & boy is it amazing.

Today I was at work with my disability support client & we were driving to the pool for a swim ..something we both love to do.

It was lightly raining & growing heavier.

Last time this happened, we stopped halfway and went op-shopping instead.

The whole sky was dark & it looked as though the rain had set in.

This time, I tried a different tactic.

As she told me several times how she didn't like swimming in the rain, I reassured her that I wouldn't make her do anything she doesn't want to.

She trusts me. We have been working together for 3 years now.

"Let's drive all the way there this time", I said to her.

"If it's pouring down when we get there, we won't swim, but imagine if that heavy cloud moves way back over that way & it's fine at the pool & the sun even comes out. How nice would that be!"

I didn't entertain doubt, fear etc & I visualised pushing the clouds back in my imagination. I kept driving & we sang 'Rain, rain go away ...'

Imagine our delight when we arrived & it was indeed fine...no rain in sight.

Better still, we got to enjoy the sunshine on our faces as the sun did infact come out & shine for us while we were swimming.

I said many thank you's during & after this experience, and I know it taught my client something too.

Remember the power is within you!

You can create magic. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

It's Tuesday so you know what that means.

If you've been following along, you'll probably have noticed these cards popping up alot lately.

It's become a weekly thing...every Tuesday night I'll pull a card for those who need it.

Many women have been saying yes each time, as they're appreciating the insights & guidance of the angel cards.

If you'd like one, comment YES, or DM me.
