Melinda began studying Massage Therapy , Reiki, and Yoga in 1995, immersing herself in the world of natural healing and holistic practices. For many years, she offered hands-on healing through bodywork and energy work. After the birth of her twins in 2012, Melinda shifted her focus, stepping away from massage to fully dedicate herself to Bodhi Holistic Spa and Yoga Studio, a sanctuary for wellness in her community.

 

Melinda then channeled her passion for healing into the creation of SÖL —a full line of professional-grade skincare, natural vegan makeup, and CBD-infused products designed to support radiant skin and whole-body well-being.

 

Melinda also became certified through Somasoul where she learned how to support others with mindful, compassionate, and body-centered approaches to navigate and resolve psycho-physical stress.

 

Having experienced physical and emotional pain at a young age, Melinda sought healing through gentle, empowering, and natural pathways. Her journey through yoga, energy healing, and Eastern traditions led her to deep personal transformation—and now she shares that path with others through her work at Bodhi.

 

She believes that healing is not a quick fix, but a layered, beautiful process that takes time, patience, and a commitment to self-discovery.

 

Melinda’s mission is to bring holistic, heart-centered practices to the Hudson Valley and beyond, helping others reconnect with their bodies, restore their nervous systems, and remember their wholeness.
