The exhaustion in your body has a history.
So does the medicine that will heal it.
A 7-week live cohort experience where trauma-informed Qigong, somatic healing, and ancestral wisdom come together — created specifically for BIPOC women who are done with surface-level healing and ready to heal the mind, body, spirit, all the way down to the soul level of healing.
You’ve done your best to rest, to heal, to find answers —
yet something deeper still calls from beneath the surface.
You found your way here. That means something.
You already know the exhaustion isn't just physical. You've done the doctor's appointments, maybe some of the holistic things too. Something still feels like it's missing — a layer that accounts for your history, your lineage, what your body has been carrying across generations.
That missing layer is what this is.
Why This. Why Now. Why for You.
This program centers the lived experience of Black, Indigenous, and women of color — Latina, Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, North African, multiracial, multi-ethnic, and all whose body carries the marks of colonialism, displacement, and the particular wound of being a woman of color in a world not built for her.
Everything here was grown with you at the center.
Not as an afterthought. As the origin point.
Because the exhaustion you carry has a history. Generations of your people survived things that were never meant to be survived — and that survival lives on in your nervous system, your breath, your relationship to rest and safety and your own worth. It was passed down the way all important things are passed down– through the body, through story, through the spaces between words.
Most healing spaces were never built to see that. This one was.
And your ancestors didn't only leave you wounds. They left you medicine too. Resilience woven into your lineage like a thread that never broke, no matter how much was asked of it. Wisdom that has been waiting — patiently, faithfully — for you to come back and claim it.
This is why now.
Not despite this moment in the world, but because of it. Because your healing has never been a luxury. Because your body is asking. Because the Little Sage within you has been asking for a long time — and she deserves to be answered.
This is a space where that asking is finally met. With practices rooted in ancestral wisdom. A framework that tells the truth about history. And a circle of women who understand what you carry — because they are carrying something too.
You belong here. You always have.
A Journey Back to Yourself
Radical Healing for Women is a trauma-informed Qigong, breathwork, acupressure, and somatic practices rooted in ancient medicine for ancestral healing and intergenerational pattern work.
A decolonized framework that looks at how history and displacement have shaped your body — and offers a path back to wholeness that honors all of you.
This is where you awaken your Little Sage — the inner healer who already lives within you and has never stopped knowing the way home.
The Effective Way to Heal Begins Within
Your body carries not only the story of your illness, but also the memory of balance — the imprint of vitality, calm, and wisdom that has never left you.
Through trauma-informed Qigong, we learn to listen to those stories written in muscle, bone, and breath.
We move with tenderness instead of force, curiosity instead of control.
And in that gentle returning, something profound begins to shift:
More than that — you begin to recognize yourself again.
Not the self shaped by illness or exhaustion, but the one who remembers how to trust her body, her rhythm, her power.
This is the heart of Radical Healing for Women —a journey of coming home to your body’s wisdom and rekindling the living connection between energy, emotion, and spirit.

I felt really empowered. I deeply appreciate the warm, caring space that Melissa thoughtfully created for women."- Theresa J.
I am able to finally step into me
“Melissa taught me something every single week that I was with her, things that I will carry with me and share with my own child for the rest of my life. There are no words to express my gratitude for Melissa, her family, her ancestors…because of you I am able to show up in ways that I know that I was born to. I am able to finally step into me.” - RM
Address every day challenges
The series of classes I didn’t know I needed. In a friendly, non-judgmental, and safe environment, I learned about new concepts that really resonated with me…I received tools and knowledge to apply these concepts to address everyday challenges.

Live Weekly Healing Circles
Seven weeks of live, 90-minute women's circles where the healing actually happens — in community, in real time, witnessed. Showing up live is where the full experience lives. That's where you'll be in the room, in the energy, and able to bring your questions directly to me.
Teaching & Practice Recordings
Every teaching and practice is recorded so the wisdom is always within reach. If life pulls you away one week, it will be there waiting — nothing lost.
Privacy-Protected Sharing Circle
The part where we open up and witness each other stays unrecorded, held in the privacy it deserves. What's shared in circle, stays in circle.
Dedicated Practice Videos
Every practice we move through together gets its own video — yours to return to between sessions and for daily support.
Private Course Portal + Two Years Access
Between sessions, I'll email a simple Q&A form to submit your questions anytime. I'll address them in our next session so nothing goes unanswered. Real healing isn't linear. You'll have two years to return to the teachings, the practices, and everything in between.

A personal note...
Hi! I’m Melissa.
I’m a mom, a poet, a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and energy healer. I’m the owner of Little Sage Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Clinic. I’m a 1.5-generation Filipina immigrant, a human rights advocate and a survivor of abduction and torture.
My experience of trauma and healing led me to discover what I call the Little Sage in all of us—the indomitable spirit of the human soul, an inner knowing, a well of energy and power to heal your body.
I created the Radical Healing program for you to explore, learn and go deep into somatic and mind body practices, ancestral healing, body memory, trauma, intergenerational wounds, and what it means to reclaim wellness through a decolonized lens. One that looks honestly at how history, displacement, and systems of harm have shaped our bodies and our health, often in ways we've been taught to carry alone, or told are simply who we are. Because your suffering has a context. Generations of harm have been woven into our bodies, our families, our communities — not by accident, but by design. This space is where we start to unravel that together.
I have taken everything that I’ve learned through my lived experience and over 25 years of working as an activist and healing arts practitioner to create this program especially for BIPOC women.
Together, we listen to what your symptoms are trying to say and take steps toward healing, wholeness, and empowerment.
You deserve healing that is rooted, that is sacred, and that is yours. I would be honored to walk beside you on this path.
With Love,
Ready to step into your power?
