Melissa Lee Kissel

For years, I thought I just had to push through.

Pain. Fatigue. Burnout.
Being told its “pain without a source".

But it never fully made sense… and with perimenopause every symptom was suddenly magnified and then I saw the truth!!

After 20+ years of symptoms, I finally have answers:
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome — a genetic condition that affects how my body creates collagen.

And it explains so much.

Not just joint issues…
But how my entire body has been working overtime for years—
my nervous system, immune system, energy, everything.

If you’ve ever felt like something is off in your body, but no one can quite connect the dots…

I see you.

Keep advocating for yourself.
Keep asking questions.
Your experience is valid—even before you have a diagnosis.

This journey has changed me in ways I never expected.
It’s deepened my intuition, my compassion, and how I support others.

And while I’m still figuring this out…
I know I’m not done helping people heal.

When you have a chronic illness the healing journey is never finished—it's just the beginning of a new chapter.

If you’ve been wondering… “what now?” — I’ve got you 🤍

While I may be stepping away from facials, I’ve thoughtfully created a few ways to continue supporting your skin journey—so you’re not left without care or guidance.

✨ For your facial treatments:
I’ve partnered with the beautiful team at Meraki Beauty Inc. to ensure you’re in the best hands. I’ll even be available to support your transition if needed.

✨ For personalized guidance:
I’m still offering virtual + in-person skincare consults to keep your results on track and evolving.

✨ And for those who loved the experience of coming to see me…
I’ve created a Relax + Reiki service 🤍
This is the perfect space for:
• a skin check-in
• deep relaxation
• and a gentle introduction to energy healing

And I’ve added a special price—exclusively for my previous facial clients.

This next chapter isn’t about doing less for you—it’s about supporting you in a new, more aligned way.

If you’re ready for your next step:
💬 Comment BOOK, CONSULT, or RELAX and I’ll personally message you with details

I’m so grateful we’re continuing this journey together ✨

This is the hardest decision I’ve made in 7 years.

As of this week, I’m no longer offering facials.

This work has meant *everything* to me. I’ve poured my heart into every treatment, every conversation, every result we created together 🤍

But over the past 6 months, my body has been asking me to slow down… and now it’s asking me to stop.

And I’m finally listening.

To every single one of my clients—thank you.
Thank you for your trust, your loyalty, your patience, and your understanding as I’ve been navigating some unexpected health challenges behind the scenes.

Your support has meant more than I can put into words.

This isn’t the end of how I support you—it’s just a shift.

I’ll be sharing exactly how we can continue working together in Part 2, and opening up more about what’s been going on in Part 3.

✨ If you’ve ever beem in my treatment room, this message includes you. Thank you for being part of this chapter with me.

Stay tuned 🤍
