About Me

My Mission

To be an educator and pathfinder in service to others. To be known as a compassionate medium, inspirational teacher, and uplifting motivator to the individual and spiritual community. 

What is Bee & Briar

Bee and Briar is about duality. About the light and the dark, the sweet and the hard, which all leads to a path of wholeness. For what is a bee without the sting or without the honey? What is a briar patch without a few thorns to reach the blackberries? By learning to see the duality of life, we can see the beauty of the sweetness and learn to appreciate the shadow side as well. 

About Me

I’m a Celtic psychic medium, shamanic practitioner, herbalist, an educator and a spiritual healer; with the mission to teach each client about the natural healing and intuitive powers they hold within, while helping them connect to loved ones, guides and their higher selves.

My road has been winding to get to this point. Coming to balance with my faith in God as well as my knowing of ancient ways that just come to me from Spirit. My gift of sight first appeared to me when I was very young, by seeing a loved one as "see through" to tell me they had passed. I would often get feelings of something being wrong or seeing things that would come to be later. Having no one that I knew who could help me understand it or teach me how to work with it caused many years of struggle. While I have studied under teachers for shamanism, reiki and energy healing, the majority of my learning (and failing) has come from my spiritual team.   While my road was not always easy, I have  learned so much and  incorporate Spirit into my everyday life from prayer, to intention, symbolism, practices of gratitude and connection to the living spirt of the land and plants. From kitchen magic, working with herbs, to mediumship; my daily life is a blessed experience. My goal now is to open the hearts and minds of others to Spirit and loved ones on the other side. To pass the torch of light and open your gifts and guide you to living a life on the path of Spirit. 

 I’ve been a professional holistic practitioner since 2015, and performed intuitive readings for clients for over 10 years.   After years of training with other like-minded experts, in not only Reiki, but integrated energy healing, intuitive readings,  shamanic practices,  angel readings,  meditation and channeling; I’ve learned to share my experience through a combination of services and education. 


I believe in healing the mind, body, and soul in order to better connect not only with yourself, but with others as well. Thus creating a more balanced and grounded sense of self. I am passionate about nature and practice sustainability in my craft.  Connecting clients to the earth, herbs, and trees in a state of mindfulness brings me such joy!  I raise bees and visit residential facilities with my therapy dog Maggie. If you come for a reading, just ask and Maggie will pull a card for you! No matter your visit, you'll get lots of love, that is if you're open to pups, she can always be placed in another room if dogs are not quite your style.  

I look forward to working with you.

Blessings,

Melissa
