Hi, my name is Melinda King, and my personal journey towards becoming an RTT therapist and coach started about 10 years ago, after being involved in a series of abusive relationships which left me with PTSD, anxiety and depression. I was in denial about my situation, and was struggling to cope with being a single parent, and running my own business. I was also drowning in debt, and paralysed by fear and overwhelm. I tried traditional talking therapy, counselling and although we got to the surface cause of my issues, it just didn't help shift the underlying beliefs, it felt like a bandaid on a gaping wound. I finally broke down after yet another (good this time) relationship ended, and I realised that I had to change how I was showing up in the world otherwise I felt doomed to repeat the same patterns of lack and victimhood again and again.
This breakdown led to me exploring some deep feminine/masculine embodiment practises, shadow integration and inner - child work. I also become a Reiki master, and Ashati energy healer and learning to manage my own energy better so I could heal at an energetic level. I also explored somatic healing, and kinesiology, Internal Family Systems, some amazing plant medicines, breathwork, and learnt meditation, yoga and mindfulness practises to help bring my nervous system back into regulation, and get my mind/body/soul connection back into balance.
But the real game changer was RTT.
I first took a session for memory and concentration as this was a massive issue with the PTSD, and was holding me back in business as my anxiety levels were still through the roof.. It was amazing, I saw results within a week, and everyone started commenting on how much calmer I was, and on my newfound ability to recall even minute details.
I then took another session for my poor self esteem, and again came out of the session feeling like I had finally gotten to the root of my pain and suffering.
I finally knew I was enough, that I always had been, and that I always would be.
The shift from VICTIM to VICTORY was incredible.
And so I enrolled with Marisa Peer, became an RTT therapist, and now I am thrilled to guide others on their own healing journey.
I explore more about my personal journey in my blog, and also more about the many wonderful and helpful modalities I have encountered and trained in along the way. There are also book reviews and links to courses and other resources here.
