Hi, I'm Melissa

Building community is what I do.

I'm the person people share with when life is amazing and there is good news; I am also the one on speed dial when the world feels too heavy. As a big-family mom, Ma Tillie, godmother, and an unofficial "mom" to a community of people, there are very few of life's moments I haven't shared. Through the years, I've learned that listening — really listening — is one of the most healing gifts we can give someone. As our family has grown over the years, we have worked to make our home a place where people can come to "just Be." It's a place where friends and family who are struggling in life with worry, anxiety, and mental strain can come talk and know they are loved. We are rooted in faith, quiet moments in nature, and the courage to see a hard situation from a fresh perspective.

Peace in the Hollow was born from that calling to build a community. It's a place to unload, reset, and to explore simple, natural supports like a mindset of perspective and gratitude, essential oils, faith-filled encouragement, and even debt-free living principles that help create a lighter, more grounded way of life. I am not here to replace your therapist, but to give you another space to figure things out and be accepted. I'm glad you're here!
