We were lucky to catch up with Melissa Stonehill-Caiyem, C.A.H.P., R.K.R.M.T. recently and have shared our conversation below.

Melissa, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Looking back, do you think you started your business at the right time? Do you wish you had started sooner or later

Wow that’s a lot to answer as there are so many moving parts to how I moved forward. I had come from a great career in the health and fitness industry as well as event production. I have always had entrepreneurial mind set and brought innovation to any position I held, whether working for others or in business for myself. Let’s say I was climbing and striving, and within a familiar environment, but truly at the threshold of burn out. I was suffering from migraines, finding myself in conflicting relationships, and feeling my head hit the ceiling of growth. When 2020 lock down and shut down happened I found myself without a job for the first time in forever ! It was emotional and that particular year was full of what looked like “losses” During this time, I was in the middle of a course of study, working toward a PhD in Energy Medicine and Alternative Health. Ok, skip forward a bit – I ended up with a severe non hospitalized case of Covid and in quarantine for 30 days ! Alone for 30 days feeling like I was fighting for my life some of those days. During this time, I feel I had a great awaking. I literally went into a deep meditation for what appeared to be hours, and in that meditation I connected with the deepest spiritual place I’d ever experienced. Lying on my bedroom floor in a pool of sunlight, struggling to take a breath, a beautiful goddess like figure came to me. She told me I was going to heal and that I was then going to create opportunities for others to heal. She told me to follow the works of Tesla and Einstein and to think Energy, Frequencies, Resonance. The secret to my own healing would be in sound and micro currents and nutrition and herbs and meditation. I had so much clarity and found unbelievable purpose. I began to question everything and truly began to walk the path of reinventing myself and being incredibly curious. This was the birth of Healing Wheel Holistic and Retreats, LLC.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Our brand is unique as we look to merge science with the ethereal self. The “we” is my core executive team of thought leaders.

I lean more to the Jungian principles and try show our clientele that YOU ARE NOT BROKEN but broken open!! The cracks are where the light can shine!

We provide tools to see the ego and see the Self; to see the charade and the character and see the Divine you. In harmony and alignment, you can experience the greater joy.

You are the director in this movie of your life and can learn to redirect your thoughts to create a better life for you.

We use as many modalities as possible so we can offer anything to everyone. Nutrition, Meditation, Yoga, Intuitive Arts, Sound Healing, Reiki, Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Somatic Therapies, Art, Nature, Animal Therapy, Dance, Music, Mindfulness…. We provide the playground !

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

Relationships ! We love to have dinner parties and cook for people. Food is my personal love language and I find breaking bread with people creates a special closeness. Our retreats have really helped us to form deep relationships and we now have clients from all over the country.

I also love business networking and try to attend as many networking groups as possible. I look for the ones that don’t cost money to show up to. Business to business and referrals and good reviews are important!

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

All of my story- my entire life has been about resilience. Look to emulate the greatest minds ever ! Everyone fails and fails and fails again. These are valuable lessons and there’s never a reason for quitting ! What if Einstein had quit ? Lincoln? Martin Luther King? Every inventor, social activist, farmer, etc… what if we just had a world of people who quit when they “failed “ ? Life would be meaningless.

So when I fail, I learn.
