Oh, um...I'm really bad at introductions...uhhhh...
Hey, I’m Melissa

My goal with Gentle Hearts & Open Minds is to empower one another to venture beyond the ordinary; embracing compassion, openness, and curiosity.

I'm a lover of Jesus, wife, and mamma of two beautiful babes. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and a decade of experience in classrooms ranging from newborns to 5 years old.

I've dabbled in everything from amusement parks to farm life, and am newly rediscovering my talents, passions, and pursuits post-classroom through introspection and sharing daily trials and triumphs of an ordinary life.

Come join me in making what I once thought was an unreachable dream a reality.
