As a shamanic healing medicine woman, Melanie began to weave her background as a licensed clinical psychotherapist with ancient wisdom healing starting in 2006. She provides in person and online healing sessions worldwide. Her energy medicine approach is eclectic, weaving the ancient wisdom of many indigenous lineages including: Native American, Celtic, Mayan, Tibetan, Siberian, Ecuadorian and Peruvian shamanism.

Melanie is authorized to teach Buddhist meditation in the Shambhala tradition of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. She is a faculty member of the Shambhala Meditation Center of NYC and has been teaching meditation since 2010. This tradition combines a contemporary, secular approach to meditation with the ancient practices of Tibetan Buddhism. 

Melanie is an entrepreneur and visionary, creating The Center for Health and Healing (founded in 2013), which is the largest and most progressive holistic health and learning center located in the heart of Mount Kisco, NY. Melanie and her husband Andy Steigmeier provide in person healing sessions, professional trainings, and workshops at this location.
