In the past, Melissa has worked with victims of sexual abuse, developing a program called Her Held Heart to reclaim her clients’ identity as sexually whole beings. Out of her broken feminine image, she fashioned the Beautiful Mess Series, which included a variety of topics that pulled from all the work Melissa inviting women to reshape their feminine image and discover their identity in Christ. Currently, she assists women in establishing healthy boundaries in their lives through her Healthy Boundaries: Discovering the Stepping Stones to Loving Yourself and Others DVD curriculum. Melissa publishes a blog called “Crumbs from my Kitchen Table” that gives a glimpse into her own life while encouraging others to live life to the fullest. As a mother of five amazing children, one boy, and four girls, she purposes to find her healing and freedom as a legacy for them. Melissa loves simple things like ladybugs, daisies, and chalkboards. She is inspired by the first smell of rain as it rolls in, the impossibility of the honeybee’s flight, and words that surround her at all times.
