About Melissa Field
Over the past several years, I’ve provided psychedelic preparation and integration support within peer communities, local mental health peer support, and compassionate “sitting” for individuals undergoing breathwork experiences. In these roles, I bring ethical grounding, compassionate care, and a steady, non-judgmental presence.
I am honored you’ve taken the time to learn more about me. I am a devoted wellness coach, peer supporter, practicing spiritualist, lifelong learner, and emerging clinical social worker with a deep commitment to voice empowerment, grief and loss, life transitions, social justice, and emotional and spiritual care.
My History: My own life experiences have, no-doubt, prepared me for the heart-centered path that I walk today. I hold gratitude for all of life’s learnings that continue to bring me closer to my center every day. I’ve spent most of my career in clinical research, with the past eight years focused on psychedelic-assisted therapies for mental health. During this time, I had the privilege of supporting and attending therapeutic trainings in emotion regulation, somatic release, mindfulness, ethics, trauma-informed care, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. I hold a Record of Completion in EMBARK Psychedelic Facilitation (Open Access) and am a certified Psilocybin Peer Supporter (PPS) through PsiloHealth.
New Beginnings: After spending the past two decades working in research aimed at population-level impact, I felt called to expand my work beyond systems and studies to support the deeply personal journeys of healing and transformation. Today, I balance my continued work in clinical research with wellness coaching/peer support, Reiki, and individual and group voice empowerment sessions while also completing my master's degree in social welfare toward my clinical aims.
My Spiritual Background and Alignments: I identify with a Unitarian Spiritual and Metaphysical faith and hold deep gratitude for my Pentecostal Christian roots, which taught me the power of energy healing through hands-on prayer and connection to Source through speaking in tongues - which I now refer to as “light language” in my spiritual practice. Light language is a form of expression that practitioners believe convey energetic or spiritual communication rather than semantic language. People who practice or receive it often describe it as:
A form of intuitive or channeled expression.
A way of facilitating healing, energetic shifts, or spiritual connection.
A language that is intended to be experienced rather than intellectually translated.
Unique to the individual practitioner (without a standardized vocabulary or grammar).
Experiences with light language vary widely. Some people report feeling deeply relaxed, emotionally moved, or spiritually connected when listening to it. You can hear a sampling of my light language in the beginning of this meditation gift (around 1:35) >
Kundalini meditation and Reiki are also central to my spiritual practice and daily life. And I hold a strong ancestral connection, experiencing their continued guidance and support as I walk alongside others through moments of loss, transformation, and remembrance.
