ABOUT
Mell's Desserts
Hello and welcome to Mell’s Desserts! I'm Mellissa and I'm passionate about baking and Mental Health!
I love baking and come from a family who are passionate about cooking and baking! I remember mum and I having our pretend cooking show when I was little, Mummy and Milly’s cooking show was great fun!
​
The idea of Mell’s Desserts came early 2018 when my administration job was changing and was becoming challenging. By the end 2018 I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety where I was signed off from work; it wasn’t until I made my daughter’s birthday cake , I knew I wanted to include mental health in with my desserts, I just didn’t know how or if that was even a thing I could do!
Baking soon became a coping mechanism and I learnt to calm myself down through breathing exercises and meditation.
Now I am a Meditation Teacher and I host Wellbeing Workshops, empowering people with the art of Self Care, Self Love and Self Worth.
​
If you would like to know more on what I do, please feel free to contact me.
​
Mell’s Safe Space was birthed from a place of my own vulnerability.
​
I felt forced to sit and be still in my vulnerability; I had to sit within myself and find a mindful solution to seek inner peace.
I prayed and mediated and kept doing this, even through the tears. There were moments when I could only call out to God for help.
When I was feeling strong enough, I had designed my own self-help tool called How Are You? This tool kit I have shared on my first Instagram live. I asked myself how I was and wrote down everything! I analysed, reflected and started to let go!
Mell’s Safe Space Resources are for those individuals to reach out; when people are ready to change and ready to heal. I am happy to sit with individuals to teach meditation and breathing techniques, I can sign post you to services and therapists that we could agree on together, that could further support your healing journey through wellbeing.
I have an online questionnaire for you to complete if you were looking for me to support you.
*Disclaimer: I am not a Doctor or a Therapist; I have life experience that I can share with you.
This service is for 18 year olds and above.
