Hi, I'm Melody
Nature-Connected Coach | Partswork Facilitator | Shamanic Practitioner
The Journey
I didn't choose this path—it chose me. I grew up tracking people—reading body language, sensing energy shifts, noticing patterns. When I discovered Parts Work six years ago, my entire life suddenly made sense. All the tracking, all the patterns I'd been observing—suddenly had purpose.
My mentor said I was a natural. Of course I was. I'd been doing this work my whole life without knowing it had a name.
I still attend advanced training twice a month, six years later. I continue my own Partswork and always will. There's always more to discover. And knowing the profound impact this work has had on my life—helping me break cycles I never thought I could break—I'm grateful to share it with you.
My own journey of transformation led me deep into nature, into shadow work, into the parts of myself I had been ignoring or pushing away. I learned that healing isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about remembering what's always been whole.
That journey changed everything. And now, I get to guide others on their own path home.
Canada's First Certified Nature Connected Coach
I'm honoured to be Canada's first certified Nature Connected Coach. This means I've been trained in a specific methodology that uses nature—not as a backdrop for therapy, but as an active teacher, mirror, and healing force.
When you work with me, we might meet in the forest, walk through the Chilliwack Community Forest, or I might guide you through practices that help you connect with the natural world wherever you are. Nature isn't separate from your healing—it's integral to it.
Partswork Facilitation
I'm trained in Partswork based on Dr. Roger Strachan's Self Soul Spirit model (not Internal Family Systems). This powerful approach helps you understand the different parts of yourself—the protectors, the wounded parts, the parts that carry your pain.
What makes this different? Your parts aren't placed into predetermined categories. They're unique to you. Some have been with you since birth. Some carry ancestral wisdom. We discover your specific parts, build relationships with them, and help them work together instead of against each other.
This work goes deeper than traditional talk therapy. It's about radical self-acceptance and discovering that you're not broken—you're beautifully complex.
Shamanic Practitioner
I practice shamanic healing, including Soul Retrieval, Intuitive Healing, and ceremonial work. These ancient practices help you retrieve parts of yourself that were lost due to trauma, access information about what's really happening beneath the surface, and create sacred space for transformation.
I blend these ancient modalities with modern coaching because transformation happens at the intersection of the practical and the sacred.
My Philosophy
You're Not Broken. You're Disconnected.
I believe every person can heal, grow, and reconnect with who they really are. You don't need me to fix you—you need a guide who can hold space for all of you, call you forward with compassion, and help you navigate your inner landscape. My role isn't to give you answers. It's to help you discover your own strength, resilience, and wisdom. The answers are already there. Sometimes you just need someone to help you listen.
Shadow Work Is Sacred Work
I'm not here to help you "think positive" or bypass your pain. Real transformation means going into the shadows—the parts you've been avoiding, the patterns you're scared to look at, the wounds that haven't healed.
But you won't do it alone. I'll be there, holding space, helping you see that even your darkest parts deserve love and integration.
Nature Is Your Greatest Teacher
We've forgotten we're part of nature, not separate from it. When you remember your connection to the earth, the trees, the water, the seasons—you remember your own wild, authentic nature.
Nature doesn't try to be anything but what it is. A tree doesn't apologize for taking up space. A river doesn't doubt its path. When you spend time in nature with intention, you start to remember how to just be yourself.
Where I'm Based
I live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Stó:lō peoples in Chilliwack, British Columbia.
The land here—mountains, rivers, forests—is a constant teacher and source of healing.
While many of my services are available virtually (so we can work together no matter where you are), there's something special about meeting in person when possible.
The Nature Connection Walks, in particular, are only offered locally in the lower mainland.
If you're local, I'd love to meet you in the forest. If you're not, we can still do beautiful, transformative work together virtually.

Why I Do This Work
Because I believe in you.
I believe in the woman who's been putting herself last for decades and is finally ready to remember who she is.
I believe in the power of nature to heal what modern life has fragmented.
I believe that your shadows are not your shame—they're your gateway to wholeness.
I believe you don't need to spend years or tens of thousands of dollars to transform. You need the right guide, the right approach, and the willingness to show up for yourself.
I believe it's not too late. It's never too late.
