Hello

Hi, I’m Melissa Blum—call me Mel! I’m a certified Beautiful You Life Coach, Mama Rising Facilitator, matrescence educator, and proud mum of two beautiful girls. With an undergraduate degree in psychology and a background as an Environmental Engineer, my journey bridges logic and intuition, structure and soul.

My work is rooted in what I call Persephone’s Path—a journey that honors both life and death, joy and sorrow, beginnings and endings. Inspired by the myth of Persephone, who traverses the realms of light and shadow, I support individuals navigating the profound transitions of motherhood and grief.

In our fast-paced society, these experiences are often overlooked, leaving many to grapple with identity shifts in isolation. Through Into Full Bloom, I offer a heart-centered space where you can explore these transitions with compassion and intention.

Whether you're embracing the transformative journey of motherhood or moving through the depths of grief, I walk beside you—not ahead. Together, we navigate the complexities of change, honoring your unique path toward healing and self-discovery.

Because kindness is not weakness; it is strength. And in slowing down, we find the clarity and connection needed for true transformation.

I believe in gentle progress. In walking beside people, not ahead of them.

My Story

Motherhood transformed my world in ways I never anticipated. With my first daughter, I found a sense of balance, but the arrival of my second turned my life upside down. Suddenly, I was navigating the demands of two small humans, often at the same time, with escalating emotions all around me. I felt lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of who I was anymore.

At first, I tried to piece my old life back together, clinging to the structure and rhythm that once worked. But in doing so, I missed the opportunity to embrace the transformation and create a new version of myself. When I finally stopped resisting, I began to uncover the beauty in the chaos and the freedom in allowing myself to evolve.

I realised that we don’t have to fit neatly into one box or define ourselves by a single identity. I am both a logical, structure-loving engineer and a free-spirited, feminine earth mother. I am a mother who can love and hate parts of parenting, feel excited about my children’s growth and bored by the routine. I’ve learned to hold many emotions at once and honor the complexity of who I am.

My Why

Motherhood can feel isolating, especially when the struggles we face aren’t openly discussed. Society doesn’t often prepare us for how triggering parenting can be, how much personal growth it demands, or how slow and messy that growth can feel. But, like a seed, we grow through the awkward phases until we eventually bloom.

I’m here to support you through those awkward growth phases. My passion is helping mothers reconnect with their desires and needs—without guilt or shame—and rediscover their creative energy. Whether it’s painting, journaling, dancing, or simply taking time for yourself, creativity is a powerful outlet for processing emotions and reclaiming your identity.

My focus is on mothers navigating life beyond the trenches of early motherhood. With children in kindergarten and primary school, the emotional demands shift, often bringing new triggers and challenges. I understand how exhausting it can be to be your child’s emotional anchor while feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed. Together, we’ll develop strategies to help you reground yourself, so you can support your children without losing yourself in the process.
