About Me & My Work

Melissa Lakeside 2_edited_edited_edited.jpg

I am originally from Northern Ontario and currently live in Nelson, BC, Canada where I work part-time from home (zoom or phone sessions) and homeschool my son.

​

I am a former family doctor turned wholistic life coach and energy worker. I am especially focused on supporting my clients with relationships and health.

 

The #1 predictor of good health and happiness is healthy relationships and connections, according to a Harvard study here. This is consistent with what I have seen over the years in my medical intuitive readings, as major root causes of health issues in myself and my clients. Therefore, I intuitively focus the most on relational trauma integration.

 

A few years after I harshly woke up to the corruption in the medical system (when my infant and I were medically-injured in 2013), I had to leave my soul-crushing medical career to stay in full integrity and authenticity!  

 

I experienced first-hand the profound shifts and miracles that were possible with energy and subconscious inner work, and so I knew I had to put down the prescription pad and embrace my Soul's calling to help people actually heal themselves - mind, body and spirit.

​

I offer intuitive energy healing, coaching and mentoring including emotional transmutation, inner child/parts work with somatic-based energy work, Soul retrieval work, the recoding of limiting beliefs in the subconscious mind and so much more! ​

 

I have been on my own healing journey working to clear how the traumas of my past have programmed me. I have shifted out of co-dependent relationship patterns, addictions, self-sabotage, shame/guilt, depression, and anxiety.

 

I have overcome several autoimmune conditions, a spine and brain injury, chronic fatigue and pain, and so much more. I continue to regain more of my own power, health, feeling of wholeness and innocence. Life just keeps getting better and better! 

 

I am very passionate about helping my clients do the same by intuitively guiding them in using the roadmaps that I have used to transform my traumas (including ancestral ones) and liberate myself from these limitations of the false self - the Ego-based identity.​​ ​​

 

I am on a mission to offer not only hope that there is another way to heal but more importantly help people strengthen their feeling of faith in their own divinity and creative healing power, no matter what life challenges are occurring or have occurred in the past.

 

“The wound is the place where the light enters you” – Rumi 

 

Trauma can be processed​ and beliefs recoded to support you in co-creating a different reality! You are your own healer, I am simply your guide, supporting you in awakening your innate healing capabilities. 

​​

If you are ready to take RADICAL RESPONSIBILITY for your life and

health and step out of the patterns, imprints and programming that

keep you stuck in loops of giving your power away, not enjoying life to the fullest and/or feeling unwell, then I'd love to support you!

​

The more we shed what is not part of our true essence, the more we can step into the most beautiful lives possible! Let me show you how!​​​​

"My first appointment with Melissa felt very transformational. Just on the sheer basis of someone holding space and validating that I had been vaccine-injured felt healing.

 

I was diagnosed with a hormone imbalance several years ago (before the vaccine injury) and most doctor appointments were traumatizing in the way my symptoms and feelings were denied, and how my future was described as very bleak. Melissa is kind and knowledgeable, I felt understood and believed.

​

Then there was the work that was done; my first session with Melissa felt life-changing, like I was being healed on levels I can’t explain, but during & after the session I felt dramatic healing: mentally, emotionally & energetically. I am so grateful for Melissa’s kindness and strength."
