Meet Melissa Katsakos

Practitioner. Guide. Fellow Traveler in Healing.

Healing is a return—
To what was lost.
To what’s always been possible.
To the quiet wisdom your body never stopped offering.

For 30 years, I’ve been devoted to woman-centered healing—as a holistic health practitioner, massage therapist, and medical aesthetician.

I’ve worked alongside top medical professionals, helping women recover from surgery, aesthetic procedures, and chronic conditions with more ease, comfort, and self-trust. I spent a decade teaching at IPSB College, an Esalen-based accredited school of integrative bodywork, where I helped shape the next generation of healers.

And like so many, I also spent years searching for answers to my own unexplained health challenges.
The uncertainty. The misdiagnoses. The quiet knowing that something deeper was being missed.
Then, I received the right diagnosis—and everything changed.

Science gave me a map. My symptoms finally made sense.
And the cycle of confusion became a path forward.

Now, my mission is to offer that same clarity and compassion to others navigating CIRS and complex environmental sensitivity—conditions so often overlooked or misunderstood in conventional care.

Because when we understand the patterns,
we can move with precision.
When we’re supported, we heal more fully.
And when we’re seen, we remember the essence
of who we truly are.
