In addition to my primary role at work, I serve as a volunteer wellness ambassador. In this role, I help publicize wellness programs, workshops, and self-care events taking place at the workplace or virtually. For instance, every Monday at noon, I attend a 20-minute mindfulness meditation with my colleagues over video call (with cameras off so we can focus on the soothing voice of the facilitator!) Additional ways I practice self-care include breathing exercises to manage stress, clearing what is blocking me, and challenging negative thought patterns to improve my mental health.
Putting my wellness ambassador hat on, I’d like to spread the word about the Maui-based holistic wellness and life coaching business, Alchemy Hearts, and introduce you to its founder, Mélanie Dagenais. As a Wellness & Life Purpose Coach, she provides coaching in French and English. Mélanie describes Alchemy Hearts as a sacred space for healing, personal growth, and soulful transformation.
Her bio from her website says:
With over 20 years in wellness, she combines her expertise as a yoga master, macrobiotic chef, intuitive tarot reader, breathwork guide, and hands-on healing practitioner to offer deeply transformational experiences.
Born near Montreal, Mélanie’s spiritual journey began after a life-changing snowboard accident at 18 and a near-death experience, which led her to Ashtanga Yoga and decades of inner work, including profound plant medicine ceremonies. She designs heart-centered retreats and personalized sessions that help individuals reconnect with their essence, release blocks, and step into authentic power.
Mélanie’s holistic approach emphasizes presence, integrity, and radical self-expression, guiding others to awaken their true selves and live fully aligned with their soul’s path. Her coaching, retreats, and wellness programs support personal growth, spiritual awakening, and mindful living. The Tarot reading session reviews really speak out loud about Mélanie’s work (read a few testimonials here).
In an email, Mélanie talks about her journey and the heart behind her business. “This path chose me. After 20 years of seeking truth and alignment, I’ve stepped into the role of guide helping others reconnect with themselves through spiritual healing and mindset work. It’s not a quick fix, it’s a journey home.”

You can find Mélanie Dagenais on Instagram (melanie.maui.tarot). To schedule a complimentary 30-minute clarity (video) call and learn more about her wellness offerings (which she conducts in both French and English, in Maui or by video call), visit her website, Alchemy Hearts.
Clients often say they gain deep clarity and feel seen, safe, and inspired after a session. For me, it’s not just about healing, it’s about helping others remember who they really are.
