Meli is a dream interpreter who helps sleep-deprived and stressed individuals uncover the root cause of their anxiety through dream work. She helps people address suppressed emotions while providing them with the tools to release these emotions with a process she calls cosmic dream alchemy.

Gain a foundation in what your dreams mean, and what you can do with the messages you receive afterward. Meli shares her three steps to alchemize and process your emotions through the subconscious mind with dream work, and she even walks us through a whole process, as an example, using one of my own dreams so you can see it in real time.
