The Garden for Hive Medicine is my personal Eden and living laboratory for working with bees and the products of the hive that I use to support my health. The bee is an agent responsible for the reproduction and flourishing of the flowering plants on which we rely, and her hive is a communication hub with the land. To live closely with bees and hives affords me an opportunity to witness and learn from their expression of holistic well-being. As living repositories of such knowledge, they teach me through their actions how to better care for them, myself, loved ones and the earth. Uniquely situated in the greater Paradise Garden of the Hood River Valley, protected and inspired by the volcanic Cascade Mountain Range at the watery cross-roads of the Columbia, White Salmon and Hood Rivers, the Melissa Bees Garden for Hive Medicine is an organic and GMO-free refuge for me and pollinators of every stripe.
Melissa works within a special kind of hive spirit medicine, accessing healing information through the integrity of soil, intricacies of plant systems and maps of the cosmos in individual healing sessions. As a way-shower or ‘One Who Opens Doors’ she assists clients in seeing more clearly who they are and what they desire to become, so that they can step through life’s transitions with grace. Trained in both Chinese and European Shamanic Bee traditions, Apitherapy, and by the denizens of the natural world, Melissa utilizes her grounded mother-bear presence, keen assessorship and a rare brand of homeopathic skills as well as bee venom and hive products in her work.
Some Issues or Opportunities possibly addressed in a healing session: Spiritual and Physical Malaise, Fear, Thwarted Dreams and Aspirations, Accessing Willpower, Acknowledgement of Type and Lifework, Relationship Transitions, Uniquely Female Concerns, Fatigue, Calls to Wonderment and Deepening. Distance work available.
Individual Sessions are $150.00 for 1 1/2 hours and involve both ceremonial work and discussion.
Location: White Salmon, WA or over the phone.
To schedule, make a payment here and Melissa will contact you for an appointment time.
There is much to recommend Melissa Elliott. But as one of her teachers, perhaps to me her most special quality is her understanding of the relationship between commitment and essence. She thinks hard, chooses well, and then delves utterly–until she becomes the thing she loves. She understands the sacrifices involved in cultivation, and she sees no other life as possible for herself other than an essential life–a life, that is, which shapes her, body and soul, according to her passionate attention to the natural world and its creatures.
