A Little About What's Coming
I've spent over 25 years as an activist and healing arts practitioner. I've walked through trauma—my own and my ancestors'. I've studied Traditional East Asian Medicine, somatic healing, and the ways that colonialism, displacement, and survival live in our bodies.
For BIPOC women, healing requires a different lens. One that most wellness spaces don't offer.
That's why I'm creating this.
A space rooted in our experiences. A space that doesn't ask you to leave your history at the door. A space where your exhaustion, your pain, your invisible wounds are finally seen for what they are—not personal failings, but sacred messages from a body that has been carrying too much for too long.

About Melissa Roxas
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 this space 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 space 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.
Melissa
