Melissa Raymond

Mélissa started her career as a teacher and quickly found success in the education system. From coaching teachers to becoming a principal in a elementary school, Mélissa enjoyed teaching and learning.

However, her real passion began when Mélissa’s health took a turn for the worst. She had no energy, she had arches and pains, her joints were swollen and task or chores felt like climbing a mountain! After seeking medical help, Mélissa was diagnosed with Lupus. She was put on medication and more medication.  Although, she started to feel better and had more energy, Mélissa, was worried about all the medication she was ingesting. These prescriptions were long term. This could not be the solution, what were the long term side effects? Research took her on a different path, one that would allow her to live a healthy lifestyle without over medicating. Mélissa educated herself on Lupus. Learned about autoimmune disease and how to control it. She stated to follow a wholefood diet, exercised (in moderation), worked on her self care routine. She changed her sleeping habits and slowly the Dr. reduced her dosage. She felt better and inspired to live a better life.

Mélissa started her yoga journey trying to find an outlet for her busy and crazy life! What she did not expect is to find (Bliss) this uplifting energy that not only help her physically but emotionally and mentally.

In 2018, Mélissa attended the Happy Jack Yoga Teacher Training and received her 200hrs yoga teacher certificate. Mélissa continues to invest in her personal growth by taking or taking on-going education. Learning and sharing is part of her daily life.
