Melissa Terese
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
As the founder of Breathwork Worldwide and The Circle of Sacred Breath, Melissa has trained countless facilitators and held space for thousands of people in private sessions, group circles, and immersive workshops. She also created an accessible framework for integrating shamanic energy tools, particularly the Q’ero Peruvian Medicine Wheel, into the breath practice.
Originally from the East Coast, she’s now based in Oklahoma, reconnecting with her West Coast tribe while spending time with her son. But a big part of her heart still lives in Powhatan, Virginia, where she built a thriving healing arts practice—alongside a farm full of animals, six cats, and her dog, Baya.
An Aquarius to the core, Melissa believes healing is both practical and mystical—a dance between science and spirit, ancient wisdom and modern life. Her mission? To help others reclaim their innate power, remember who they are, and step into their own medicine.
