About Melinda
Visionary Philosopher
I am a visionary philosopher providing timeless options to
curious individuals for exploring Inner Space while navigating
the Outer World through self-mastery.
I study and learn something new everyday of my life. This habit
has given me the opportunity to bring ideas from science, mathematics and the esoteric arts of ancient cultures together in a way that is
beneficial to myself, my students and interested members
of modern society.
Ancient philosophies - Yogic, Sufism and Taoism are my favorites.
I share my spiritual perspective in private monthly sessions with individuals who are pursuing their spiritual growth
under my watchful guidance.
Member of the Golden Key International Honor Society since 2005
Eye of the Mystic
Creating art that captures an idea in my mind or a feeling within my heart, is as natural as breathing for me. I can't remember a time when I wasn't pondering what I see with my Inner Eye. My visions intensified after experiencing 3 near-death experiences within 4-months in 2012.
My intuitive awareness has been acute since birth. Curiosity led me to pursue study of the esoteric arts of Astrology, Tarot and Dream Analysis. After I divorced, my once private pursuits became a way to support myself and my children. That is when I created my company, Person Human which turned into Visionary Voice & Sound in the 90's. My business is now 37 years old and, at age 72, I am actively working.
Dancer in Motion
My first love this life is moving my body through space. As an adolescent, I studied ballet - training to move with discipline and grace. In my teens, I danced in the corps with Ballet West in Salt Lake.During high school, I began my practice of Hatha Yoga and explored Modern Dance.
In 1986, I opened my first Yoga Studio in Salt Lake City, Utah. I taught weekly classes until I was involved in a crippling car accident in 1990.
I won my court case, but was declared legally disabled.
However, my desire to move freely again, spurred me on to create my own style of Restorative Yoga. It focuses on relaxing the fascial tissue that fits like a glove around every muscle. In fact, it surrounds the entire muscular system and completely interconnects the body from head to toe. 4-years of concerted, daily practice eventually freed my body so I can enjoy movement again and teach others how to also heal. After teaching for 20 years in Pocatello, Idaho, I closed my studio due to COVID.
I went on to create and record short yoga routines that students can either listen to or watch while doing yoga at home. These products are readily on my Patreon site for $20/month.
Naturalist
Nature has always been my teacher. Through observing her patterns,
I have learned how to live a life that supports wellness in body and mind and to heal myself and guide others to do the same. My greatest education came when I spent five consecutive summers in the Primitive White Cloud Area in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho during the early 70's. While there, I engaged in studying herbs and living off the land.
When not wandering the wilderness, I was leading Sun Valley tourists
on Nature Walks and teaching others about Native healing practices.
I published articles in the national Backpacker magazine
and the Times News paper in Twin Falls, Idaho.
Today I am an avid, organic gardener and grow a variety of herbs for cooking and creating my own salves, tinctures and healing products. Playing in the mud and water while I tend my garden is a favorite pastime.
