How it Works
What to expect when working with Melissa
Sessions may be done in-person, via the telephone, Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, or WhatsApp. Distance does not matter considering I work with a person’s energy, which can be felt from anywhere. The results are the same!
A prayer is said at the beginning to “open the door” allowing spirit guides, teachers, ancestors, loved ones and angels to come forward delivering messages for our highest and best through the white light. I take the first couple minutes to connect to your energy, and I see things that connect to your past, present, or future. If something doesn’t make sense, as the session continues it will.
Shamanic Energy Medicine Healing Sessions
We will set an intention before starting. You’ll be in a comfortable spot and I’ll begin drumming to get us into an altered meditative state. From there, I’ll perceive holes in your auric field and we’ll engage in dialogue to move the energy out that’s not serving you and replace it with what does. Depending upon the session we may explore your ancestral lineage, traumas, your inner child and trapped emotions…anything can happen! Please be open and prepared to uncover what needs to be released. I use a variety of tools to restore your energy back to a balanced place — sound, energy work, essential oils, crystals, palo santo, white sage, etc. Toward the end, I’ll drum again to bring you back into the present moment and we’ll wind down our session. We will have a bit of time to decompress and process the session together so you’re present and grounded when you leave.
Psychic/Medium Sessions
Come with a clear and precise intention/questions. This provides your Spirit Guides an opportunity to answer you in a manner that is direct and related to what you’re really in search of wanting to know. If you are wishing to connect with someone in particular that has passed on, it is not necessary, but helpful to bring a possession of theirs or a photograph of them. I can pick up on their energy and the object(s) will clearly allow for communication to come through from the Other Side.
In person readings in San Diego will be held in a quiet, private space; the address will be provided to you shortly after booking.
At the end of our time, a closing prayer is said to end spirit communication and disconnect our energies. Your session will be recorded and sent to you within 48 hours.
What People Are Saying
“Melissa is absolutely amazing. Insight, depth, accuracy. Very encouraging and supportive. I’ve been getting readings for over 12 years. I consider myself a connoisseur of sorts, and find excellent readings (such as Melissa Peil’s) to be therapeutic. I plan to book again with her when able, and would highly recommend her to those seeking clarity, and to those trying to move forward. She is no less than amazing, and is a true gift to this world.”

With compassion and empathy, Melissa supported me through clearing traumas of the past which kept me stuck in a cycle of despair and hopelessness.

“Melissa helped my mom and I gain clarity after the tragic death of my sister. She was able to give us clear details that no one else would know. Her connection and messages gave comfort to us both. We finally were able to sleep after meeting with her. The police had not been able to help give us the whys, but Melissa was able to connect and gave us more than we could have ever expected or hoped for in a single reading. I would highly recommend her to any one grieving the loss of a loved one. Her connection is astounding!”
“I felt very comfortable with Melissa. She was very kind and I could tell she cared. She was able to connect with me right away. She picked up on my issues and was spot on with everything. I didn’t need to give her very much information about anything I was seeking. Her insight was great. She didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear. I really liked that she writes and draws and records so you can remember all the important messages. I got so much information out of our hour long session. There was plenty of time for all my questions and for connecting to my Grams, which was so important to me. I’ve had plenty of readings by others and by far she was the very best psychics in Boston. I’m so glad I found her!”
“My reading with Melissa is something I will remember forever. Melissa is an awesome psychic medium. She is extremely accurate with dates and other evidentiary details. She was able to connect with my husband who passed away recently and described his personality to a T. I admire her for her sense of honesty and integrity. She only has the best interests of her client at heart. She is very patient and gives you time to have all your questions answered. She has the ability to see into the future and guide you on any issue which might be causing you concern. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the near future for another reading. Thank you Melissa for helping me connect with my beloved husband.”
“I have done a lot of work through the years of many kinds, and the healing session we did was so deep and profound, I do not/cannot recall a more powerful session. I studied and practiced Huichol shamanism for about 7 years and am familiar with the power of such practices. But this was still the most powerful I have had…perhaps it was my time. It was some sort of “everything” even though I know there is more healing that needs to take place.”
“Working with Melissa in this healing session was such a gift to give to myself. She fully saw me and all the blockages/trauma I have been struggling with. I found the breathwork and visualizations were very helpful in processing difficult feelings with a sense of safety. She helped me access a space that I had not been able to before, bringing a sense of strength and empowerment.”

“Melissa has been the perfect advisor at the perfect time for me. We have worked together for the past 9 years. She’s got a style that is very practical and she’s thorough and very detailed. She’s also a very good listener, repeats back what she hears me saying to be sure she understands me. I felt like she came across as “being in service”, and she really delivers in terms of giving solid, useful support from the spirits she is able to communicate with. She’s also honest and delivers it with respect and kindness; she seems to hit things right on the head regarding me and my situation. Melissa has a sincere “vibe” that she naturally exudes, and you get the sense that she really wants to help you make the best decision for yourself. She’s got your best interests at heart. She’s endeavors to focus upon on what I want, and I felt like her clients really come first with her. I appreciate her and am grateful for her assistance.”

“I’ve been getting readings from Melissa since 2010, and let me tell you–she is AWESOME! Her AWESOMENESS is a true testament to the fact that not only has everything she’s told me happened–but her advice to help me along my path has been solid. What I like about Melissa is that she works as a therapist to provide you with tools to assist you along that path and its challenges; but she does so by connecting with the Divine. Melissa’s guides connect with your guides to come through to provide you with the best possible support from your highest and best. Also, because I live in San Diego, I am able to have in person readings, but because energy is omnipresent, I was able to connect with her via phone or FaceTime before she relocated locally. We are connected to each other through an energetic web so when we connect or acknowledge a person during our session, that bond can easily be made. It makes total sense! If you are looking for a quality reading–look no further!”

“A few months ago I connected with Melissa after losing my job and hoping to get some insight on what might come next. Fast forward a few months and EVERYTHING she predicted about my next role has come true. Everything from the industry, the location and even the amount of travel involved – all accurate to a T. It gave me great peace of mind throughout the interview process knowing it would work out – and it did! I would highly recommend Melissa if you’re looking for a psychic! In addition to her amazing accuracy, she has consistently given me signs during my most trying times to prove I’m exactly where I need to be. Over the past 5+ years of working together, I’ve found Melissa to be an invaluable trusted confidant. I can’t recommend her enough.”
