Guiding the Spirit: How Melissa Zelada Helps People Heal
Melissa Zelada, founder of Alchemy Divination, is a spiritual coach and healer who empowers individuals on their journey of self-discovery and healing through a blend of Angelic Reiki, sound healing, chakra balancing, and ancestral practices. Guided by a deep connection to spirituality and a commitment to holding space for others, Melissa offers her clients a sanctuary where they can realign with their highest selves and reconnect with their inner light.
With roots in El Salvador and teachings from indigenous curanderas, Melissa’s healing practice is enriched by cultural wisdom and ancestral traditions. Her limpia sessions, inspired by her heritage and the teachings she has received, offer a holistic approach to cleansing that honors the earth and the spiritual guidance of her ancestors. Through elements like smoke, plants, prayer, and an egg cleanse, Melissa creates a sacred space for energetic release and renewal.
A Calling to Heal
Melissa’s journey as a healer began in her early years. As a child, she felt a natural urge to support others, even before fully understanding the depth of “holding space.” Synchronicities and moments of insight, which she believes were sent by the universe, nudged her onto a spiritual path. Alongside formal training with Angelic Reiki masters, Melissa deepened her practice by learning from Indigenous healers, blending traditional and modern healing modalities into her work.
Since 2020, Melissa has been dedicated to serving those on a spiritual path. Through private sessions, workshops, retreats, and community events throughout the Bay Area, she has created spaces where healing is not only possible but transformative. Each session with Melissa is an energetic journey where she helps clients release what no longer serves them, allowing them to step more fully into their potential.
Alchemy Divination: Transforming Energy, Healing Spirit
At Alchemy Divination, Melissa’s work goes beyond conventional spiritual coaching. She sees her practice as a form of energetic alchemy, where old patterns and stagnant energies are transmuted to create room for growth and renewal. Her clients come to her seeking alignment, healing, and transformation, and Melissa supports them with an array of services, each designed to meet the unique needs of their spiritual journey.
Melissa’s offerings reflect her diverse expertise and include:
- Angelic Reiki: By blending Reiki principles with angelic guidance, Melissa’s Angelic Reiki sessions support both emotional and spiritual healing. Through channeled divine energies, clients find a safe, nurturing space to release old wounds and access inner peace.
- Sound Healing: With instruments like singing bowls and gongs, Melissa uses the therapeutic power of sound to create vibrations that support emotional and spiritual well-being. Her sound healing sessions are grounding and uplifting, helping clients attain a state of inner harmony.
- Chakra Balancing: Through energy work and intuitive insight, Melissa helps clients realign their chakras, releasing blockages and restoring flow in the body’s energetic centers, enhancing their physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
- Limpia (Spiritual Cleansing): Melissa’s limpia sessions draw from her Salvadoran roots and indigenous teachings, using smoke, plants, and prayer to cleanse negative energies and renew the spirit. Her work with limpias is not only a cleansing but a reconnection with the earth and ancestral wisdom.
- Home Cleansing and Spiritual Clearings: Melissa extends her practice into clients’ homes, performing clearings that remove stagnant energies and invite positivity, creating an environment that nurtures personal growth and peace.
