You never know where life is going to lead, and the last few years have been a crazy ride!

Even through I had major surgery last December that didn't go as planned, I still tried to see the positives.

One of those positives was I was able to focus my attention on growing my Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery® practice. I got my website done! And I did it all by myself and am really happy with it!

Check it out here! https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com/

Second, I had the honor of being awarded 2024 Best Hypnotherapy in Turlock, CA by the Quality Business Awards and starting August 1st, I will be opening my new office to see in person SMGI® clients!

I can't be more excited!

Lastly, I just got published in an online publication called Canvas Rebel. It's focus is on small business owners, artists and creatives to be able to learn from their peers through the magic and power of storytelling. Just like I do with my podcast! Educating the world about adoption through the telling of others journeys.

The article talks about how and why I am changing my career trajectory, what lessons I had to unlearn and what was a defining moment in my decision to pivot.

I hope it encourages you that it's never to late to make changes to create a life you love!

Check out the article here: https://canvasrebel.com/meet-melissa-brunetti

It is NEVER too late to reinvent yourself until it IS too late! Don't live with regrets. I am giving you permission to pivot in life and do something you have always wanted to do! Just START!

Yes, all you have to do is START. Follow your instincts and intuition. I promise the doors will open for you to live your best life!
