ABOUT MELANIE

Melanie Ryan is an intuitive psychotherapist and educator who trained with many Buddhist masters, shamans and scholars around the world. Her life’s purpose is to preserve ancient wisdom and reconnect people with knowledge that is pure, simple, and true. She is a best-selling author and founder of The Golden Shadow Method, a path of awakening your full human potential, an introduction to using ancient wisdom to “know thyself.” Melanie’s method teaches how to peel away the layers of social and cultural conditioning and discover who you truly are.

Psychotherapy & the Soul

The Shadow is the psyche, the unconscious and is often referred to as the Soul. Buddhists, shamans, philosophers, theologians, and medicine people across all cultures, have always studied the unconscious. The Shadow is the great mystery, where we and the cosmos connect. Working with Melanie is a deep dive into the mystery where you remember who you are as a spiritual being with great power.

Melanie brings the soul back into psychotherapy as it always was in ancient times. She helps doctors, nurses, therapists, and educators heal themselves and remember what has been lost and forgotten. The Golden Shadow is where all our creativity, love, wisdom and power is stored. Melanie’s method is both fun and liberating. She brings a playful and positive energy into doing shadow work, so it does not always feel like such heavy work.
