Melissa Knight
I use my own unique blend of advanced energy healing techniques where I tune into the universal and my source energy whilst diving deep into my sacred feminine wisdom. These techniques were awakened through my own healing journey. I will use intuitive guidance and be a vessel for you while you go on a journey of self discovery and healing, transmuting any stored energy that no longer serves you.
I also offer revolutionary wisdom in relation to why you are drawn to certain foods and its connection to body, mind, soul, and life itself. Combining a certificate in eating psychology with these energy techniques we can explore unwanted eating habits, symptoms, behaviours, self-love, dis-ease and addictive behaviour towards dieting and exercise.

Welcome to Essence of Bodymind. A place of transformation.
An online platform inviting you to rediscover your true essence – the intrinsic nature of who you are. A place where you can freely connect body, mind, spirit and soul. A place that invites you to openly explore your past, present and future in a holistic way.
Hi. I’m Jade. Mentor, Somatic Therapist and Martial Artist.
At 42 years old (yes, just a young fella), I sure have seen a thing or two throughout my journey.
As a troubled traumatised teen I was forced to leave home at just 13. Stemming off the back of an extremely dysfunctional childhood riddled with abuse, the only way to survive was to regularly dissociate, runaway from home, self-harm, and use drugs and alcohol until I made the decision to change my world for the better. That meant leaving home.
Fortunately, I found solace in music and martial arts. In fact, little did I know at the time the two would play a significant role in my life, both as a career pathway but more importantly in rewiring my neuroplasticity (brain) and healing my soma (body).
Having constantly worked through my own childhood traumas (using somatic healing modalities consisting of music and martial arts) coupled with undertaking studies in Counselling (ACAP) and Dr Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry later in life, I have realised that the answer to healing oneself lies in freeing ourselves of the past requiring us to work through the pain in the present.

Intuitive Reiki
Reiki is a gentle no invasive healing modality that can assist anyone, no matter where they are in their healing journey.
Intuitive Reiki consists of a blend of more advanced energy healing techniques, such as deep Emotional Energy Healing, where we focus on healing old emotional wounds and emotional blocks, releasing repressed or suppressed emotions so that they don’t stay in your body.
The experience is tailored to your specific needs and will work on what’s at the surface ready to be released and healed.
This experience will be different for everyone.

Mind Body Eating Psychology
Do you know you are drawn to certain foods for a reason? Chances are it’s not the reason you are thinking.
