An Interview with Ann Melanson
Angel Healer & Skin Therapist
Website: New Moon Skin Therapy
Burlington, Ontario, Canada
1. How did you first become interested in spirituality?
As long as I can remember I knew that my life encompassed a spirituality beyond that of the dogma of being raised a Roman Catholic. From the age of around eight or nine, I was able to recognize my sense of clairsentience although at the time I knew little of that term. These feelings that would show up during times of turmoil or worry would allow a sense of calmness and peace to flow through my soul and I would know that everything would be okay. Around the age of ten I started journaling, which was an awesome tool to strengthen and develop my intuition. As I matured I began to use meditation and astral projection to quiet and cool the fever of home sickness.
2. How did you learn to trust your intuition?
My biggest area of opportunity while working as a psychic/intuitive healer is found in the area of living to the best of my ability. I remind myself to live each day in the moment of what is happening and treat others as I expect to be treated.
3. What advice can you give to others who are seeking to develop and strengthen their intuition?
The Archangels offer this message for growing your intuition: “Express yourself and awaken your psychic sense through the magical power of music and movement!” Also, To be closer to spirit one can connect with nature and keep “green” wherever possible.
4. What is the most rewarding part of the intuitive and spiritual work you do and the least rewarding? Examples please!
The most rewarding experiences come from seeing the joy in people whom I have helped to achieve peace and clarity. My client, Roberta had a session of Reiki followed by an angel card reading. When the session was completed Roberta had a much clearer understanding of why she had such a troubled relationship with her mother. Robyn wrote: “My reading was great…Ann is a very unique and loving soul. It was a great experience. Ann pegged me right on; she could see and feel my eternal being.”
5. What is your greatest gift or strength and how do you apply that gift to helping women?
As I see it my greatest gift is my intuitive ability. I am passionate about the empowerment of women through education in the choices we have available. I encourage women to be responsible for their feminine health as well as their spiritual and emotional balance. I ask every woman to take at least one day a week and place themselves on the top rung of their ladder. Use this time to honor your soul and to move towards illumination of your life’s purpose.

6. Which of my Creative Soul Guide® Cards resonates with you the most and why?
The Creative Soul Guides reach out to me and make me smile and they resonate with me on different levels. There are four that if put on a marquee would be the lead roles in the production of my life.
1. “I Refuse To Take Sides” ~ in my role as a mom of three.
2. “Salti” ~ in my role as life partner. I have been called a salty sea woman as my words can be peppery but at the end of the day all are fed, warm and content!
3. “Millie Peppery Performer and Star of Her Own Planet” ~ in my role as a sister – my four siblings would perhaps agree!
4.“Fairy in the Raw” (see image to the left) ~ in my role as Psychic/Intuitive Healer, because what you see is what you get. Fairy in the Raw also resonates the strongest with me as I am an in-the-closet-nudist with an ongoing passive/aggressive relationship with my wardrobe!
7. Is there a message coming through from your guide(s) right now that you feel we should know about?
The Archangels have asked me to share the following message: “It is safe for you to be powerful and take charge of your life in positive ways!”
8. If you could be any flower, what would it be?
A dandelion…lol even though most would classify this as a weed! Dandelion has many healing properties. In the end of my dandelion life I would love to turn fluffy and white and have a child pick me to make a wish.

Kathy,
Im just curious if you are using sidereal or tropical time?
Hi Kate, I’m using the zodiac most commonly found in Western astrology, the tropical Zodiac, determined by the vernal equinox.
Hello,
I anxiously await your newsletters Kathy and love them, they are so full of gems and I learn so much and am so uplifted by them.
I use mineral makeup by Avon because it’s what I could afford but I would love to use mineral makeup more in tune with a spiritual energy. I would be honored to win such a lovely gift as Ann’s.
Blessings to you both,

I am working on Transformation in general. I need strength and bravery to take steps into living my dreams.
Hiya Maitri and thank you so much for the lovely, kind words – blessings and good luck!
Hello,
Kathy, I adore your musings and look forward to them. Dancing with the moon I find I’m in a place of deep transformation that began with a major shift in a lifelong relationship over the summer. This new moon your musings meant alot to me because I’ve been right in harmony with this letting go and letting in. Alot of change, painful but I’m free now. I’m being reborn! This girl is embracing her feminine and divine rights!
The mineral makeup looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing this fabulous lady with us!
Thank you!
I’m loving the energy of this Scorpio New Moon, at first I was feeling overwhelmed by it but after reading what you and other’s have written…I’m excited, curious and looking forward to what She’ll bring. The transformation that I’m working on is clearing space in my home by giving away and getting rid of a lot of stuff…I’m creating a home business and will need the room. Releasing so that I can receive more joy and prosperity. Thank you!
Kathy, thank you for the guidance and re-assurance this site provides. My dear friend Ann (it’s Annie to me!) referred me to your wisdom this morning after unveiling her incredible new site http://www.newmoonbodysoulskintherapy.com to me and singing your praises all the while! This new moon in Scorpio which I see as a medical sign coupled with the 6th house ruling health and daily work reminds me to amp up the raw food vitamin C, get plenty of rest and ensure that there is time in each day set aside for my mental and emotional refueling. Our daughters are watching us! I will remain focused on wellness and vibrational harmony while envisioning the kind of magickal transformation surely attainable when womyn have available to them the likes of you and Annie! Love and light…
I too, have been working on letting go of the things in my life that aren’t working for me but, what will be coming into my life? – I don’t know. I do know that I am looking forward to finding out! LOL!!
I have made my health a priority this winter – trying to undo some of the damage from the situations I’ve been in the past year. The physical realm has dominated most of my energy the past year and I’m looking forward to delving back into the Spiritual realm for a while.
Dear Karen – thanks so much for writing in and commenting! I like how you put things ie. “Our daughters are watching” – yes indeed, and all our sisters too! Love and light to you.
Full moon blessings Kathy!
Being a Libran and working under a Taurus Moon brings Venus to the fore so my plan is to transform my love-life (or lack thereof!). Rose quartz will feature, a Goddess transformation to connect with the love in me and hopefully my wishes will manifest if I stay focussed!
When I began using mineral makeup I was amazed and thrilled with it’s clear enhancement and ability to let your skin breathe! I’d never use anything else and this one sounds extremely special.
Love and Light!
Liza
Lovely to hear from you Liza, & I’m off to check out your magickal blog right now
Change is brewing. The last few nights I have dreamed of a rapist on the loose, police, and pulling people out of car crashes. Things are not in alignment in my life and I know I am being called to make a change, I am just not sure what it is yet. I use the new moons each month to get clarity and ask the universe to bring in what I need.
My transformation this moontime is big and heavy…I am peeling off the outdated layer of caretaker for my now 21-year-old Asperger’s son who has moved to his own apartment and is experiencing the bumps and bruises of life’s lessons. My aged, dried & shriveled former facade falls away…sometimes gently in small, flakes that are barely noticed, sometimes violently in large, ragged strips that I rip off. The emerging fresh skin of loving, distant support tingles awake as each dead particle falls away. This new skin feels foreign, like my cheek after the dentist’s Novacaine, and yet comfortable…necessary… Loving more by letting go… The growth and change are powerful and painful. But already, the sensations across the newly born dermis hint at the yet unrealized gifts awaiting me at the end of the process…
Loving more by letting go – words to sing by…thank you for sharing Divine Freya. Don’t you feel sometimes that we’re all going thru these changes together…there is much pain and power going on for all of us…love your expressions, your writing, your shining spirit.
Drum roll please!!! And the winner of Ann’s Giveaway is Tammy – congratulations, I’ll be emailing you soon with more details. And thanks to all of you who took the time to leave such inspiring and insightful comments too!
Sparkly Blessings,
Kathy C.
