A monthly gathering designed to create space for real conversations, meaningful connections, and shared wisdom — each featuring inspiring women who are shaping the wellness landscape.
Join Sue as she sits down with these women as they share their story. They will talk about what it is they practice, why they do what they do, and how that can bring more wellness to YOUR life.
Each month will feature a curated menu of small bites from HER Kitchen, thoughtfully designed to complement the evening’s theme. We highlight ingredients with wellness benefits in mind to truly nourish you from the inside out.

Melanie of The Alchemy Studio
I am a proud single mother of two wonderful boys, who are my greatest achievement. In many ways, having them saved my life. The first half of my life was marked by depression, abuse, and severe anorexia. However, everything changed when I became pregnant with my first child. This shift from self-focus to service and purpose transformed my world. My passion has always been connecting with women, and I strive to be the person I desperately needed when I was young.
With 28 years of experience in the hair industry, I have cherished the opportunity to connect with other women on a deeply personal level. I consider hairdressing a sacred act, and I infused this philosophy into The Alchemy Studio when I opened it two years ago. My aim was to create a sanctuary where women feel seen, heard, and honored. To enhance this space, I incorporated Reiki and energy work into the environment.
I recently embarked on a new venture by starting a transformational life coaching business. This initiative is specifically designed to support women navigating transitional life periods, helping them reconnect with themselves and create a purposeful life. Together, we work on reframing old belief systems, paving the way for a more fulfilling and purpose-driven existence.
