About Melanie Benjamin
I am a certified Yoga Instructor, RYT 200, Reiki Master, and Dynamic Body Balancing (training rooted in CranioSacral Therapy) Practitioner. I am a Retreat Planner and love creating a suppportive and healing environment for you and/or your event. I am intuitive and empathic and am integrate these modalities (or a particular one, if preferred) into individualized sessions.
All modalities are a gentle practice, with a very light touch (Craniosacral/DBB) or hands off the body (Reiki), and your session is guided by your individual needs.
I look forward to connecting with you.
Namaste, Melanie
More Info...
So many of us (myself included) “hold our issues in our tissues”. We hold emotional, physical, generational and spiritual "traumas" in the form of “energy cysts” (these could be as simple as what someone said during a stressful time), which may manifest and lock into our bodies. These energy cysts may create physical-symptoms, possibly our spirit trying to communicate with us through these sensations felt in the body.
Sometimes we can release these on our own, but sometimes we need assistance. I am humbled to help facilitate your release by being present with you to help process these energy-charges. Only when you are ready, you will release these burdens. When released, one may feel a sense of peace and relaxation as you experience your VITAL BEING. This release, uprooting the trauma that was held in your body or psyche, may alleviate a physical symptom that you may have been experiencing.
These releases can be facilitated in many forms. Prayer, meditation, pranayama (breath-work), exercise, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, yoga, Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy, Essential Oils, sound/music, etc.
I offer group classes via snap fitness and community education. I also offer individual yoga sessions to help you go deeper into your practice. I also offer classes to help fund raise for chariies.
Dynamic Body Balancing, CranioSacral & Reiki
These modalities go well together to help release physical, soft tissue, and energetic “cysts” to reduce physical and emotional pain

clients comments
“Thank you so much dear!!! Everyone was raving about your class all weekend!”
- Maria (Bride-to-be)
“I knew I needed something in my life to recharge myself, and this ladies' night in was exactly what I needed! I got to meet some amazing women, which is hard to do as a full-time working mom of 2 young girls, and share a night full of fun, laughter, tears of joy, and find some inner peace that I desperately needed. I highly recommend this type of experience for anyone looking to restore and recharge themselves and who are looking for a whole package experience of wellness.”
- Marie e 10/2023
I am very glad I decided to go to the Retreat. I was able to spend an evening of self awareness and wellness lead by Melanie who successfully ran a respectful, meaningful, and FUN mini retreat. The night included yoga, awarenes, and care for the soul with meditation, exploring skin care and beauty products;
and nutritional products.
