Awaken Your Spirit. Empower Your Life. Return to the Mystery.
The Medicine Wheel Revealed is a 6 month online journey rooted in the ancient earth wisdom teachings of the Q’ero Shamans of Peru. Designed to guide you through profound healing, self-discovery, and a renewed connection to nature and the cosmos, this program invites you to step into the mystery and beauty of life.
This journey is for seekers—those curious about shamanism, hungry for personal transformation, and ready to embrace practices that regenerate the soul and ripple healing into the lives of others.
The Medicine Wheel: A Journey of Remembering
For centuries, the Q’ero shamans of Peru have walked the Medicine Wheel as a path of healing, wisdom, and transformation. This journey is not about learning something new—it’s about remembering the ancient knowledge that already lives within you.
The Medicine Wheel is an invitation. A calling to step into sacred relationship with the Earth, with spirit, and with yourself. Through each direction—South, West, North, and East—you will shed the past, reclaim your personal power, and awaken to your highest vision.
This is not about fixing yourself. You are not broken. This is about seeing with new eyes, opening your heart, and stepping into the truth of who you are.
You Already Know...But Are You Ready to Honor It?
Deep down, you feel it. The Earth speaks to you. The stars pull at something within. There’s an ancient wisdom that hums in your bones, a connection you can’t quite explain but know is real.
Maybe you’ve always felt drawn to the unseen, sensing the rhythms of nature in ways others don’t. Maybe you long for a deeper understanding of your place in the great web of existence. Maybe you know you’re meant to walk a sacred path, but haven’t known where to begin.
You don’t need to be “more spiritual” or have all the answers. The Medicine Wheel isn’t about gaining knowledge—it’s about stepping into an experience, a living lineage that invites you to listen, to remember, to honor.
This journey is an initiation, a commitment to walking in harmony with the seen and unseen worlds, to reclaiming the sacred in your life, to remembering who you are.
And just like that…
Something inside you stirs. A remembering. A knowing that this is your time to step forward.
The Medicine Wheel calls not to change you, but to reveal you—to help you shed the layers of doubt, fear, and disconnection so you can walk your path with clarity and truth.
Now, Imagine This...
You are stepping into something ancient. Something timeless. A lineage of seekers, healers, and wisdom keepers who have walked this path before you.
You release the burdens of the past, shedding the layers that no longer serve you.
You hear the whispers of your ancestors, guiding you with love and clarity.
You dream your life into being, manifesting from a place of deep alignment.
You no longer seek wisdom outside yourself—you embody it.
You move through life with reverence, attuned to the cycles of the Earth and cosmos.
You have the tools to clear ancestral wounds, step into your personal power, and dream your life into being.

Melissa's Story
Melissa Terese never set out to become a healer. She was deep in the fast-paced world of television, thriving in the industry—until life had other plans. Melissa’s journey began in 2014 when she experienced a life-changing moment healing a back injury with her own breath. In one session, something shifted. Her pain disappeared, and in its place, a deeper knowing emerged—she had just experienced the power of healing herself.
That moment changed everything.
Melissa threw herself into studying breathwork, shamanic wisdom, and the mind-body connection. What started as a personal healing journey became a calling, and she developed Ceremonial Breath—a unique fusion of breath facilitation, energy work, and deep spiritual practice. Today, she teaches others how to use the breath as medicine, guiding them to release emotional blocks, regulate their nervous systems, and expand their consciousness.
As the founder of Breathwork Worldwide and 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 breathwork practice.
Originally from the East Coast, she’s now based in Los Angeles, 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.
Next circle starts july 2025!

What's Inside the Course
Welcome & Opening Sacred Space
Every sacred journey begins with intention. In this module, you’ll learn how to open Sacred Space, call in the four directions, and work with the elements to create a powerful container for transformation. You’ll receive guidance on setting personal intentions and aligning with the lineage of the Q’ero shamans, preparing yourself for the path ahead.
The South: Shedding the Past
The South is the realm of the Serpent—Sachamama—teaching us how to release the past and step forward unburdened. Through guided practices, you’ll shed outdated beliefs, clear energetic imprints, and let go of old wounds. You’ll learn techniques to dissolve resistance and cultivate a new relationship with your personal history—one that empowers rather than limits you.
Fire Ceremonies: Transformation Through Sacred Fire
Fire is one of the most potent forces of transformation. In this module, you’ll be guided through the traditional practice of Fire Ceremony, learning how to release energy that no longer serves you and transmute it into wisdom and clarity. You’ll be encouraged to create your own sacred fire rituals, working with intention and the spirit of the flame to accelerate your healing.
The West: Facing the Shadows
The West is the path of the Jaguar—Otorongo—where we learn to embrace courage, navigate the unknown, and transform fear into power. You’ll explore deep shadow work, addressing ancestral wounds, karmic imprints, and personal patterns that have kept you stuck. This module invites you to stand fully in your truth, free from the limitations of fear and doubt.
Sand Painting: A Tool for Healing & Visioning
Sand Painting is an ancient ceremonial practice used to bring unconscious patterns to the surface and facilitate healing. You’ll create your own Sand Painting, a sacred art form that maps where you’ve been, what you’re releasing, and where you’re headed. Through this interactive process, you’ll receive insights, shift stagnant energy, and set clear intentions for the path ahead.
The North: Walking in Wisdom
The North is the realm of the Hummingbird—Siwarkinti—where we receive the nectar of life and connect with the wisdom of the ancestors. This module teaches you how to work with the guidance of those who came before you, cultivating resilience, joy, and trust in your path. You’ll learn how to listen deeply to the messages of the unseen world and integrate ancient knowledge into your daily life.
Soul Retrieval: Reclaiming Your Power
Throughout life, we experience fragmentation—losing parts of ourselves due to trauma, emotional wounds, or life transitions. In this module, you’ll be guided through the process of Soul Retrieval, a powerful shamanic practice for calling back lost pieces of your essence. You’ll reclaim your full presence, vitality, and sovereignty, restoring balance and wholeness to your being.
The East: Visioning & Creation
The East is the realm of the Eagle & Condor—Apuchin—where we rise above limitations and gain a higher perspective. This module focuses on manifestation, future visioning, and aligning with your soul’s purpose. You’ll work with practices that help you see the bigger picture, shift timelines, and dream a new reality into being.
Closing Sacred Space: Integrating the Journey
As the Medicine Wheel completes, we honor the journey and integrate its lessons. In this final module, you’ll learn how to close Sacred Space with gratitude, anchor your transformation into daily life, and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity. This is where your initiation into a new way of being is fully embodied.
