Melissa Terese McLaughlin is a Breathwork Facilitator, Teacher, Shamanic Practitioner, and Modern Day Medicine Carrier who has developed a unique approach to healing that has supported countless people around the world. Melissa's journey began in 2014 when she experienced a life-changing moment healing a back injury with her own breath. The experience was profound and led her to study various holistic healing practices and ancient shamanic wisdom teachings. She eventually developed a style of breathwork session she calls "Ceremonial Breathwork", which supports individuals in releasing emotional blockages, reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting overall well-being. Now, she dedicates her life to empowering others to use their BREATH to heal. 

Over the years, Melissa has refined her approach to breathwork and developed a formula and facilitator training for Ceremonial Breathwork. Additionally, she has created easy-to-follow training for the use of the Shamanic Energy tools of the Q'ero Peruvian Medicine Wheel. She is the founder of Breathwork Worldwide and Circle of Sacred Breath, two organizations dedicated to supporting people to heal and transform. Offering private sessions, group circles, and workshops worldwide, Melissa is passionate about sharing her breathwork knowledge. Through the breath, she believes that everyone has the power to become whole and enhance their lives. Her mission is to introduce ancient practices alongside traditional Western medicine to those seeking a different therapeutic approach.

Melissa holds a B.A. in Mass Communication from Emerson College in Boston MA and multiple certifications for Breathwork Facilitation, Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy, Neuroscience, Light Energy Healing, Sound Healing, and Entheogen Plant Facilitation and Integration. 

Melissa's healing arts practice is in Powhatan, Virginia, where she lives with her husband Jamie, three boys, a farm full of animals, and the Tribe that has come together in community through her offerings.
