About Melissa

I’m Melissa Romanella, but most call me “Mel”. I am a Kinesiologist, Reiki Practitioner, Yin Yoga Instructor and Pilates Instructor. I know too well what it feels like to live completely disconnected, living in survival, self-doubt, people pleasing and listening to the inner critic control your life telling you you are not good enough.      

My healing journey started the moment I gave birth to my first son and then 16 months later to my second son.  I spiralled downwards suffering from post-natal anxiety whilst at the same time experiencing flashbacks from my past disrupting my everyday life and found it difficult to actually carry on some days.  

Do you find yourself yearning to live authentically,
to be truly seen and loved for who you are?

Are you feeling stuck in frustration,
knowing that change is needed but feeling powerless to make it happen?

I understand.

Welcome to a sanctuary where transformation flourishes and vulnerability is honored. Having navigated similar paths of feeling overwhelmed and lost, I empathise with the weight of societal expectations.

Yet, here's the uplifting truth: You're not alone.

Together, we can pursue change and rediscover your authentic self. Let's embark on a journey to reclaim your inner strength, embrace your true essence, and manifest a life aligned with your heart's desires.

Ready to uncover the magic within? Let's begin this transformative journey together.

Discovering my purpose

I first discovered Kinesiology and Reiki healing following years in Psychology. Whilst Psychology provided me with great insight to past traumas and events and how they were showing up, I always felt like there was something missing.  My body felt like I was being weighed down with emotions, physically my body was yelling at me through various ailments (and getting louder as the years when by) and yet I still felt completely alone, lost and not my “true self.” I was searching for something, but not sure what.     

Following my first Kinesiology session, I started to see and feel shifts immediately.  I felt like Kinesiology ‘flicked on the switch’ to encourage my body’s wisdom and innate healing abilities to do what it knows how to do.  I started to shift energy, memories and trauma stored in the body and shine light on the shadow side of myself. 

Through this journey, I started to shed the layers that were keeping me stuck.  I realised I’m an empath at heart, a sensitive soul.   I have always been attuned to feeling and reading energy.

About Embody Wholeness

Embody Wholeness was created inevitably from my own healing journey of trauma, grief, abandonment, anxiety and limiting self beliefs.  A journey of coming home to my authentic self. 

Through my own experience, my goal is to help and support women connect with their bodies on a physical, emotional, nutritional, mental and spiritual level. To help them move forward to live in their truth, live authentically and reach their full potential to live with purpose.   

When I’m not working, studying (yep I’m a student for life!!!!) or being a mum and wife, you will find me at the beach, practicing Yoga and Pilates and spending time with friends and family. I love being outside, going out for dinners, travelling (which I would love to do more of), cooking and eating healthy meals and moving my body.
