About Melinda
Crafting my Path
Since I was a little girl, I have always felt that I was born to
feel deeply—to experience life in its fullest depth. As a teenager, I had a blog titled "I Feel, Therefore I Exist".
I was a very sensitive being, which was both a gift and a challenge. I felt everything with such intensity that it often overwhelmed me. This deep sensitivity, however, led me on a lifelong quest to understand emotions, feelings, and how they shape our lives.
Since childhood, I have had a deep connection with dance. Dance became my healing tool—a sacred language that allowed me to process emotions, release what no longer served me, and find freedom within.
It gave my emotions a voice and allowed me to express myself in ways words never could.
The Turning Point: A Profound Awakening
Everything shifted when I entered a profound state of meditation that completely transformed my path. In that moment, it was as if a door to another reality had opened, revealing visions and possibilities I had never imagined. I suddenly knew that the life I had been living was not aligned with my true self. At the time, I was working as an architect, following a path that seemed secure and expected of me. But after that experience, I could no longer ignore the call to something greater.
Without hesitation following my heart guidance, I left my architecture career behind and set out on a journey of self-discovery, traveling the world to uncover deeper truths about myself, my purpose and my connection to something higher than myself.
This quest led me to explore ancient wisdom, healing modalities, and the deeper connection between body, emotions, mind, and spirit.
Healing from Within
As I walked this path, I realized that true healing begins with knowing and embracing who we are at our core.
My journey led me to heal from an underactive thyroid condition by understanding the ancestral patterns, emotions, expressions, and thought forms that had been sustaining the imbalance. I came to see that when we fully embody who we are, everything that was once out of harmony begins to realign naturally.
My devotion to self-discovery continues to inspire me every day. As I explore deeper layers of my own spirit, I have found the ability to gently and intuitively guide others on their own journey.
My greatest joy is helping people find confidence in their unique expression, allowing what flows from the heart to be fully seen, felt, and embraced.

More about the School
The Heart of Aquaelle: Our Values
At Aquaelle: The Feminine Flow School, our foundational values rest on eight essential pillars.
✔Compassion: We nurture a space of understanding, kindness, and care—for ourselves and others. Compassion, in its essence of loving kindness, allows us to see the world through the eyes of the heart, fostering healing and unity in our relationships and communities.
✔Authenticity: We embrace the courage to be true to ourselves, allowing our actions, words, and inner being to reflect our genuine essence. Authenticity is the foundation of self-expression and empowers us to live with purpose and integrity.
✔Respect: We cultivate an environment of mutual honor and appreciation. Respect begins with self-awareness and extends to every interaction, recognizing the innate dignity and value of everybeing.
✔Love: Love is the essence that unites and transcends. At Aquaelle, we explore the many dimensions of love—self-love, love for others, and love for life itself—as a transformative force that connects us to the divine and to one another.
✔Empathy: We strive to feel and understand the experiences of others, creating deeper connections and fostering a sense of belonging. Empathy bridges divides and reminds us of the shared humanity that binds us together.
✔Faith: At the heart of our practice is Faith—a sacred trust in the presence of God, the Universe, or the Great Mystery, as you wish to call it. Through prayer and connection to the divine, we open ourselves to a deeper sense of purpose, trust in life’s sacred unfolding, and the universal truths that unite us all.
✔Kindness: Kindness is the gentle strength that transforms lives through small yet meaningful acts. It is the everyday expression of love, respect, and compassion, reminding us that even the simplest gesture has the power to uplift, heal, and inspire.
✔Humbleness: We embrace humility as a strength, approaching life with openness and gratitude. Humbleness allows us to recognize the sacredness of all beings, honor the wisdom in every experience, and remain grounded as we grow in self-awareness and spiritual connection.

I’ve known Melinda for over seven years and during this time I’ve been lucky enough to benefit from her expertise, kindness and friendship.
The breadth of her knowledge is just amazing, she shares her wisdom generously with those around her, and role models a lifestyle which incorporates all the healing modalities she’s an expert in while being strong enough to share her own vulnerabilities too.
Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of doing yoga and dance classes with Melinda (both online and in person), receiving holistic massage and energy alignment, as well as invaluable spiritual guidance in times of personal distress.
Her gift is creating safe spaces for women to find their voices, learn tools for physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and importantly, feel empowered to take ownership of their healing journey.
It’s very special to know Melinda and I’m so excited for all the women she’ll be able to support with her new school!
I’d highly recommend her to any woman trying to navigate the modern world and all its complexities.
Melinda is a unique
professional—dedicated, caring, skilled, and extremely empathetic.
Being supported by her helped me release memories and emotions that were causing many blockages.
Throughout our process together,
I was able to give voice to my potential and express my creative side,
which had been dormant until then.
She inspired me to travel and joyfully explore new cultures and people.
I highly recommend Melinda.
She is a part of my journey, and my gratitude for being supported by such a multifaceted and loving woman is infinite.
Sometimes people pass through our lives, stay for a while and then leave. Others pass through and stay. They just become part of it.
Melinda is one of those people who, despite the distance, stays and becomes a part of our lives. It was like meeting a soul sister again.
I mentored Melinda on a 'Fogo Sagrado' Energetic Alignment Training with Monica de Oliveira, but in reality it was a mutual mentoring, a perfect exchange.
In her captivating and profound way, I learned from her how much a person can change if they really want to.
Melinda is like a box of surprises, the more I get to know her, the more she surprises me with her knowledge, competence, intuition, skills and sweetness.
After a BQH session with Melinda I found a part of myself that may have been lost for millennia. With her gentle voice she took me on a journey of rescue and understanding of my being.
I would recommend her to anyone looking to rediscover themselves through dance, yoga, hypnosis or any other method.
Melinda is simply a gift!
